Some Linux users do run Linux-based anti-virus software to scan insecure documents and email which comes from or is going to Windows users.

They think nobody writes malware for Linux or Mac OS X. Tom Ferris, a researcher with Security Protocols, commented on one of Kaspersky's reports, stating, 'In people's minds, if it's non-Windows, it's secure, and that's not the case. The use of an operating system is directly correlated to the interest by the malware writers to develop malware for that OS.'

Shane Coursen, a senior technical consultant with Kaspersky Lab, said at the time, 'The growth in Linux malware is simply due to its increasing popularity, particularly as a desktop operating system . In 2008 the quantity of malware targeting Linux was noted as increasing. A virus/trojan/worm author who successfully targeted specifically Apache httpd Linux/x86 Web servers would both have an extremely target-rich environment and instantly earn lasting fame, and yet it doesn't happen. ignores Unix's dominance in a number of non-desktop specialties, including Web servers and scientific workstations. Rick Moen, an experienced Linux system administrator, counters that: In the past, it has been suggested that Linux had so little malware because its low market share made it a less profitable target.

To gain control over a Linux system or to cause any serious consequences to the system itself, the malware would have to gain root access to the system. Like Unix systems, Linux implements a multi-user environment where users are granted specific privileges and there is some form of access control implemented.

To reproduce: suspend your computer and wake it up. Xfce4-screensaver-preferences - Lock Screen - Lock Screen with System Sleep Is related if xfce4-screensaver and xscreensaver is installed and this is set:

#Redhat repository xscreensaver upgrade

Or: 'uninstall xscreensaver on upgrade to Fedora 34'.ĭefault Fedora 34 Xfce installation from scratch installs xfce4-screensaver, xscreensaver is not installed. Or: independent of order, both screensavers can be unlocked. (the following 2 must be solved in other packages, I guess) Password input is not accepted.Įither Do not start xscreensaver if xfce4-screensaver is installed (add '/usr/bin/xfce4-screensaver' exclusion to /usr/libexex/xscreensaver-autostart). If xfce4-screensaver locks before xscreensaver and both are locked, you cannot unlock xfce4-screensaver. If xscreensaver locks before xfce4-screensaver and both are locked and you unlock xscreensaver but leave xfce4-xscreensaver locked and you wait for xscreensaver to lock again, password input is not accepted by xfce4-screensaver. If xscreensaver locks before xfce4-screensaver and both are locked, you can unlock both (first xscreensaver, then xfce4-screensaver).

close both windows and double check settings xfce4-screensaver-preferences might stick to 5 minutes if so, set xscreensaver-settings to 4 minutes xscreensaver-settings - Display Modes - Blank After '1' minutesģ. xfce4-screensaver-preferences - Screensaver - Regard the computer as idle after: 2 minute log in as user and set idle timer to low values to speed up testing, f.i.:
