From the link below:
Specifically, the nefarious code baked into the code is designed to interfere with the sshd daemon process for SSH (Secure Shell) via the systemd software suite,
So does this mean that Devuan and others based on Devuan would be immune from this malware, even if it is installed?
Forgot to put the link. Here it is: https://thehackernews.com/2024/03/urgen … in-xz.html

So a developer of XZ for Debian has put malware in it. From what I understand it only affects those who are using testing or the unstable branch. Look to see if you are using versions 5.5.1alpha-0.1 (uploaded on 2024-02-01), up to and including 5.6.1-1. I'm on version 5.4.1, so I'm good.

Does anybody know if there are any fonts in the repos that will display Samaritan characters? I did a search in Synaptic for "samaritan" but absolutely nothing showed up. Then I tried "middle east" and nothing there as well.

Try adding system-config-printer.
#6 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-04 23:47:15
The problem is solved. It was a bad ethernet port on the back of the router. Switching to a different one fixed it (it's been ~24 hours and no issues).
#7 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-04 00:46:36
About to shut down for the night and did not notice any network disconnections.
#8 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-03 18:51:02
There are 4 outbound ethernet connectors on the back of my modem. I switched to a different one, and first thing I noticed is that I had a network connection as soon as the boot-up completed, and so far no disconnections (but it's still soon after boot up). I am monitoring it and will report back . . . .
#9 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-03-03 00:46:33
I wonder if the Ethernet cable going bad can cause this ?? I guess the only way to test it is to change the cable.
#10 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-29 23:20:32
Xfinity Arris; Model TG1682G. But another reason I don't think it is the modem is because when I lose my wired connection, my son is still connected via the wifi. That's why I think it's something in my system/computer.
#11 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-28 21:30:07
My router is Xfinity (Arris). Also I'm connected by an ethernet cable, I'm not on wireless. I don't think the router is the problem (but I'm not an expert).
#12 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-26 21:29:30
I'd be interested to see what may cause the drop-outs.
Is there any kind of log I can check for this? Or a message in the network manager? I never had this problem before.

So I don't think this is related to my previous problem here since I noticed this happening somewhat earlier. So far it has caused no problems. I keep getting intermittent messages that my network connection has been lost. It comes back within a minute, but it's really getting annoying. I'd say it happens maybe once every hour or two. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks.
[ Also I noticed that after booting, whereas before I'd have a connection almost immediately, it takes about 30 seconds to a minute after my desktop appears. ]

So there are at least two ways in this thread to fix this issue, one fix by editing /etc/init.d/connman and another by replacing connman with network-manager, which is the fix I did. My question is: is one way to be preferred over the other, or does it really make no difference?
#15 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-10 13:58:17
I already marked this as solved, but I'm still curious why network manager does not generate the resolv.conf file as read only as does connman. I am assuming this file is generated by either connman or network manager.
#16 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-10 13:36:28
Thanks to all for your help. Marked as "SOLVED."
sorry, I don't know the name of MATE's file manager

#17 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-10 13:20:26
Well everything is running fine now. Is there a reason to do this? I have a wired connection, btw.
#18 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-10 13:03:32
Installed network-manager-gnome and uninstalled connman. That fixed it. I had to add 9.9.9.9 first to the resolv.conf file to download network-manager-gnome.
But one thing I now notice since this change is that the resolv.conf file is no longer read only. Is this normal?
#19 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-09 21:40:43
Well it's still not working for me. After reading the new posts, I have a few questions. If I remove connman and go with network manager, do I:
1) Remove all connman entries (connman, connman-gtk, and connman-ui)?
2) Install network-manager or network-manager-gnome? I see two different posts about either one.
3) Is there any risk of borking my system by doing this?
I also assume a reboot would be necessary. Thanks for the help.
#20 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-09 01:13:50
Is the problem with the repos or local? If local, why are others having this problem also? I looked at /etc/resolv.conf but I don't know what it means.
#21 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Can't connect to repos » 2024-02-08 23:49:31
Still having this issue more than 24 hours later. Why isn't there some kind of announcement from "those in the know" about what is going on, and when it is expected to be fixed? Some who posted here have had this issue for over 2 days now. It seems to me that the right thing to do is for somebody to make some kind of an announcement, at least something like "Hey, we know there's a problem, we're looking into it."

Normally I wouldn't make a post like this, but this has been going on for the last 2 hours (usually it resolves itself in a few minutes). I'm not able to contact the repos, I've been getting the message below. Anybody else getting this?
#23 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] How to fix unicode text, it's showing as a box » 2024-01-03 21:07:35
Interesting, on my browser it's showing up as rendered from a Chinese font (fonts-wqy-zenhei).
Thanks for the hint. I installed a Korean font and now I can see it. Yay! [BTW, how can you tell it is rendered on your system via a Chinese font?]
Thanks to everyone who took the time to help.

Download Ubuntu Nerd Font and UbuntuMono Nerd Font from here:
Tried these fonts (I like them) but it's not fixing the box. I know the system is picking it up because I noticed the difference. I'm ready to give up. But thanks for the nice fonts.
