Hon, there is nothing in what you posted that suggests there is malware on your system. From what I understand, you have some third party tool that gives you garbled messages? This sounds like a...
Thanks. I figured it out to be:

/home/username/Software/Markdown_1.0.1/Markdown.pl /home/username/Documents/test.text > /home/username/Documents/test-output.html
Which seems to...
Hi.
I have downloaded a program called ‘Markdown’ from here: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
Basically, it's a program that takes a specific plain text input and outputs HTML. I...
Just a note; comparing this to malicious PDF files isn't a valid comparison – PDFs contain executable JavaScript code in them, whereas media files (excluding the ones made by Microsoft) do not. It is...
That's because Ubuntu isn't a rolling release distro, so they couldn't update their repositories for the newest VLC version. The best solution is to use the PPA as suggested... Or else another video...
I know what you mean... If the location contains spaces, you have to use backslashes (\) to replace the spaces. Also, once you've navigated to /media, don't use 'cd /location' when using cd – just '...
You probably have to run as root to delete them. For a reason unknown to me, nautilus doesn't have a graphical way to be run as root, so you have to use the terminal, and run:
gksu nautilus

Don't be surprised if it doesn't work - the instructions clearly state that it's for kernel 2.6 and is made for Fedora & SuSe.
That said, it might still work.
If it doesn't, I recommend you buy...
If you're sending an attachment, I'm afraid the only way is to manually check that particular file with clam av (you use the GUI right?).
In any case, I don't think anyone sends enough attachments...
No, because the devs can't make a distro that ships with an interface which decides to break every theme, applet and extension with every new release. Imagine the headaches that will cause (yes, I...
I seem to have found a solution guys. Never mind. In any case, if any of you get similar problems, you have to type http://192.168.0.1 in your address bar and enter the username and password on the...
Hello forum.
As one of the many things I do, I like to write fictitious novels in my spare time. However, some of my friends have requested copies- and revisions. Now, what I attempted to do was set...
Uhm... Don't select the "Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu" option. That will delete everything on the computer, including the OP's partition containing the personal files.
OP, you're better off...
Should not damage D: or whatever the partition is in Linux (/dev/sdba2 most likely).
I would still backup all your files on to an external drive just for good measure though.
PS: Next time, try...
What you're noticing is the new Unity interface. You're probably used to the old Gnome 2-y style interface.
You could learn how to use Unity- it's a pretty decent interface in my opinion. See:...
That sounds like a very dodgy company you're describing there. I really wouldn't waste your time with such a shoddy company, there must be better poker companies out there.
In any case, what...
Do you mind if I just but in a little, and say that while configuring apparmor is all nice and great, I'm not convinced it is a suitable measure for the OP.
OP claimed that they should try and use...
I experienced exactly the same problems with Chrome/Chromium: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2014663
Apparently, Hungry Man has his working. I can't figure out for the life of me what I...
It looks like the computer connected with itself. There are some reasons why it may do this, but I doubt it would be anything malicious, since malicious programs have to connect to EXTERNAL addresses...
If all your computers are getting it, I would imagine it's a router problem and your router is faulty and needs to be replaced. Maybe you should contact your ISP and ask them if they require certain...
Ah yes, I get it now.
It seems OpenJDK wants jre's to be executable and not Oracle java. How strange... Well, people should mention what java their using- I assumed OP was using JDK, since that is...
I've had similar results with other .jar files(SweetHome for one). Evidently, it must be an OpenJDK problem, I haven't been bothered to download java from oracle since I rarely use Java programs and...
The file '/home/<snip-username>/Software/Ubuntu-BB Linux Package/KRUT.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For...
I don't know... I've had some programs that do ask to be executable. Krut for example, doesn't run if it isn't made executable.
