Greetings all, I have a curly one here and, not having seen anything similar on the lists, thought I'd better post something immediately as it may be malicious.
I was typing something up on one of the social media platforms - which tends me to think this way, as I don't toe the party line - and first I experienced a close down of the platform then, after logging back in, begin typing again, and then the machine logs out completely: as in `shuts down cleanly'. After restarting the PC - and I'm running SID, I try to log in and notice extra letters being inserted into the username. I backspace and also attempt to arrow back to remove them with delete, and am successful with some, but not with others. I thought I'd attempt to move around the login by booting with a Supergrub disc in the drive, but then this appears to be interfered with also. Said complications appear to be involved with not being able to employ the arrow keys to select an item from the menu, so work around that by hitting `e' and get the editor, then F10, which gives me a recovery option. This time, I can't type anything in. I try a `Buster' Testing disc to access rescue mode there, manage to achieve that destination after a few attempts, only to have a similar problem in typing in network names after DHCP ID. Obviously, I can't access logs. I'm typing this from a laptop and don't have a spare keyboard I could try, but I was wondering if there were any other ideas out there, as from what I see there's also potential for something nasty to have been planted. Even with a good firewall and apparmor, along with one or two other utilities active. Thanks for any time and trouble. -- `The difference between friendship and love is how much you can hurt each other’. ― Ashleigh Brilliant Registered Linux User: 554515
