http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493319 Summary: virus-like behavior during some updates? Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carl_hein@verizon.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.6 System: Dell Dimension C840 desktop System overrun by uncontrollable messages during system "updates" Uncontrollable update messages received at approximately 1 second intervals during "updates" when authorized by user. Unable to stop receipt of regular update notification panel even when no updates are occurring. The only way to stop messages is to either turn off the system or to turn off system router. The message panels appear to be standard panels and are identical to those on my other Linux OpenSUSE 11.1 systems. Update messages clear upon resetting router. Bogus update messages with the correct update sources suspected as no updates appear to have been made during such episodes. Other systems attached to same network connection not affected. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Other Linux systems are apparently unaffected. In the future, I will simply turn off the Dell system, and monitor the router logs for possible intrusions. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
