Multiple bugs and problems

[Jen Donier]

We have been working with Michael LeBlanc at Xandros Support and have had
one problem after another with the new Xandros 4 which we purchased in
December and installed.     See details below.

Hi Michael  here is the update so far;
in regards to the .swp file.   We deleted it by thinking we could get it
back by the commands.  It did not come back though we followed what you
said.

vaio:~# swapoff-a

bash: swapoff-a: command not found

vaio:~# swapon-a

bash: swapon-a: command not found

vaio:~# swapoff -a

vaio:~# swapon -a

swapon: cannot stat /boot/linux-swap.swp: No such file or directory

vaio:~#

stat items:

swapon: cannot stat /boot/linux-swap.swp: No such file or directory

vaio:~# swapoff -a

vaio:~# swapon

usage: swapon [-hV]

swapon -a [-e] [-v]

swapon [-v] [-p priority] special|LABEL=volume_name ...

swapon [-s]

vaio:~# swapoff

usage: swapoff [-hV]

swapoff -a [-v]

swapoff [-v] special ...

vaio:~# swapon -e

usage: swapon [-hV]

swapon -a [-e] [-v]

swapon [-v] [-p priority] special|LABEL=volume_name ...

swapon [-s]

vaio:~# stat

stat: too few arguments

Try `stat --help' for more information.

vaio:~# stat --help

Usage: stat [OPTION] FILE...

Display file or filesystem status.

-f, --filesystem display filesystem status instead of file status

-c --format=FORMAT use the specified FORMAT instead of the default

-L, --dereference follow links

-t, --terse print the information in terse form

--help display this help and exit

--version output version information and exit

The valid format sequences for files (without --filesystem):

%A Access rights in human readable form

%a Access rights in octal

%B The size in bytes of each block reported by `%b'

%b Number of blocks allocated (see %B)

%D Device number in hex

%d Device number in decimal

%F File type

%f Raw mode in hex

%G Group name of owner

%g Group ID of owner

%h Number of hard links

%i Inode number

%N Quoted File name with dereference if symbolic link

%n File name

%o IO block size

%s Total size, in bytes

%T Minor device type in hex

%t Major device type in hex

%U User name of owner

%u User ID of owner

%X Time of last access as seconds since Epoch

%x Time of last access

%Y Time of last modification as seconds since Epoch

%y Time of last modification

%Z Time of last change as seconds since Epoch

%z Time of last change

Valid format sequences for file systems:

%a Free blocks available to non-superuser

%b Total data blocks in file system

%c Total file nodes in file system

%d Free file nodes in file system

%f Free blocks in file system

%i File System id in hex

%l Maximum length of filenames

%n File name

%s Optimal transfer block size

%T Type in human readable form

%t Type in hex

Please note that the virus scannere seemed to work in the administrator
window; however it detected a "virus" in the boot/linux-swap.swp. It could
not repair but only quarentine. When deleated it was not able to be restored
as evidenced by the above quoted windows generated in administrative mode
and in the root console. Said virus was:"DOS.Ramthes.655" and the user mode
found at least one "virus" :"BAT.Haj.bsig. Both these "viruses" were in the
/boot/linux-swap.swp. The "linux-swap.swp" no longer exists. Security Suite
in the administrative mode shows all is well; however the user mode shows
the Security Suite as not ever completed a scan and will start a scan at odd
times and seems to always be scanning. Verbose check does not find any
problems and says scan okay for abnormalities.;

Joy told us to delete the virus in the swap.swp but when we did it took out
the file as well and it is not there any longer, what you told us has not
brought it back at all. .   There apparently is no disinfect system only
quarentine and delete which takes out the entire file.

One other issue apparently there is no Flash Player and never has been.
Not 9 or 10 all programs requiring a flashplayer all repeatedly say I need
flash player 9.  a couple only asked for 10.    I think the xandros 4 sold
to us back in Late November, early December was not complete.  We have had
trouble on going.   We never had trouble with Xandros 3 other than it was
outdated and many programs on the net it was no longer working with
adequately.    The gimp and photo shop is very hard to understand or use and
don't like it.  Also noticed the graphics most that were in 3 are not in 4
which is really disappointing as well.
