  • on a totally different system and different app i had similar issues after an update. my solution was to run the app with a java version closer to what it was compiled for, which is not helpful for you. however, i think it was related to gtk/gnome libs having been updated (the app was using the file picker with gtk “look and feel”)











  • in theory, a virus can hide from them if it replaces (or LD_PRELOADs) them with something that filters the virus from its output.

    those task viewers will show everything running, except some kernel modules, because they are part of the kernel.

    also fast cron jobs will only be visible for a very short time. only while they run. if they run for like 250ms you probably won’t notice them.



  • me? i didn’t recommend that. if you have your wifi, you could update now. however, if you don’t have a backup yet, you should 100% make one. i always make fresh backups before a dist upgrade. (everyone hates the way I’m doing it, but it works really well. i just tar every important fs with --one-file-system on a 1TB USB stick. if they don’t break at writing, they will be able to store the data much longer than i would need.) meaning, in your situation I would already have one and it sounds like you forgot that step, but idk.
