Dear Joseph: Re: Upstream testing, can you tell me how to get the instruction "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" added in terminal to find the downloaded app? I downloaded the upstream kernel into its own folder but I don't know how to specify in the command so it will find & load it. Thank you. --Dean von Germeten

Running ClamTK every few sessions shows I'm picking up exploits in .../.cache/mozilla using firefox browser, just visiting very safe, plain vanilla sites, like yahoo. I've reset firefox and done most of their fixes to no effect. There's no setting I can find that allows me to quickly clear the cache, I don't want to lose my open tabs. Thank you for the tireless hard work you people do out of love. --Dean von Germeten On Thursday, November 13, 2014 11:11 AM, Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisb...@canonical.com> wrote: Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?
