Go raibh maith agat!

No, I have not.

I am not sure if this is hardware or Ubuntu problem or LibreOffice problem.

There are 8 cores in my machine. I am on Ubuntu 15.10 and LibreOffice 5.0.2.2. LO frequently greys out on me and when I...

I have just upgraded to 15.10 and one of my User Accounts has become corrupted and wont allow me to log in. Fortunately, I have another User Account which also has Admin rights and that one is...

When transferring a block of date from one Calc file to another, LO crashes and produces this log report. I have tried restarting my macing a number of times....but it make no difference.

OK, that did not work as well as I had hoped!

Thanks for that. I used the recompiled ones and they worked......I would not say that the machine was noticeably faster to be honest!

While following the instructions here for compiling the kernel,

I get the following message at the end.

Thanks for that, I will give it a try.

bump!

Thanks your suggestion for chkrootkit worked perfectly.

pj@pj-Latitude-E6420:/usr/local/lynis/lynis-1.5.9$ lynis
The program 'lynis' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

OK, so I have to do something to the downloaded lynis script...

Thank you for that, I very much appreciate your help. I will try them out and report back on how it goes.

1) chkrootkit is not producing a log?!

This is the line from my crontab However, the log never gets sent to me..and when I check the log it is empty. I have tried Chkrootkit from the terminal and...

Ah, what a pain, when I delete and then mkdir /dev/shm and chmod it again it works....not sure for how long....and not sure what will stop it again.....so am keeping this unsolved.

Nope, that was just a temporary solution...that only seemed to work once. Now when I delete /dev/shm or change the permission, nothing happens...neither Chrome nor Chromium nor Steam will open. All...

Hmm! it still has the suckit rootkit bug also!

Thank you for that, as the bug says the documentation is misleading....I was trying to exclude false positives.

Can somebody explain this to me please?

~$ sudo /usr/sbin/chkrootkit -e
[sudo] password for xx:
/usr/sbin/chkrootkit: 2709: shift: can't shift that many

I am getting nowhere fast on this problem. I have set up a crontab instead. The crontab runs because I can find the output in the log...however I do not get a mail sent to my email address.

Mark as solved. The file /dv/shm/ is a symlink file. Delete this file...don't bother trying to change the permission as it does not work. Instead - mkdir a new version, change the permissioning as...

Here is some more information....Steam will not run for me either. This is part of what I get when I run Steam --verbose. I have already done the sudo chmod 1777 suggestion...but it does not make any...

OOops, sorry. I used the Ubuntu Software Centre to install them Chromium was in the repositories as is Steam. Chrome I downloaded from the official google site and use the Software Centre to install.
