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. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
