I have been hesitating to report this for quite a
while because it is a minor problem in an unusual
case. However, I think someone might be interested.
I am a desktop user on a DSl line and ,admittedly,
paranoid. When I am going to be off the computer for a
while, I disconnect the interface. Originaly I used
the network manager widget from gnome and clicked on
disable. Then I would enable the same way. This worked
fine through fc4 to fc7. With fc8 I get a segmentation
fault on trying to enable the interface after it has
been down for a while, like 20-30 minutes. This would
happen about every 4th or 5th time. I therfore started
using a terminal and running ifdown eth0 and ifup
eth0. This worked for a while, but today I got the
segfault again.
The fault says
"segmentation fault /network-function : line 313
2614 Segmentation fault ip link set dev$1 up /dev/null
2>&1
I am a little extra paranoid right now because I just
spent a couple of weeks in Indian Country with my
Windows XP set up. I picked up a virus ( or trojan
horse , I am still not clear on what happened.) It
took four different antivirus scanners, the windows
malicious software removal tool and several hours of
scanning to get rid of it (or them). The scans said
they removed several trojans. The infection happened
so fast and pop-ups were coming so fast I couldn't get
in to shut down for a while. I am so happy to be back
to Linux.
It all started when I visited a government contracted
healthcare site and it wouldn't work correctly with
linux. When I signed in I had to change my password
before I could do anything and the site wouldn't let
me change my password with Firefox. When I complained,
I was told that their government contract requires
them to use 128 bit encription, which is only in
Internet Explorer and Netscape. That was why I tried
so hard to recover.
Anyhow, I am glad to be back to linux.
