Got a segmentation fault when running it so not going to spend forever analyzing this, was just curious. Vuln requires physical access to your pc. So if you have a friend who's a wizard on the command line, keep him/her away from your pc Smile

To update:

Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0-76-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-76-generic

Reboot.

Lite Tweaks, Kernel Removal, remove all other 3.13 kernels.

Code:

linux (3.13.0-76.120) trusty; urgency=low
