Virus or just something new?

General system EndeavourOS installation

I had a konsole window pop up recently. Sorry idk how to format properly.

Root Password:

Warning: Program ‘/home/username/.cache/eos_yad_RunCmdTermBashOpt.celB8’ crashed.

I Ctrl+c’ed out of it when it prompted for root password, and best i can see all it was doing is downloading community wallpapers. It’s just weird this is the first time my pc has done this since it was installed a few years ago. Is it a virus? An update I didn’t request? Halp. I’m still rather new to linux…

Did this pop up on this own? Or did you use some app to download wallpapers?

The output is just saying that it is downloading :enos: wallpapers form github and then copying it your wallpapers folder in root.

It doesn’t sound like a virus to me :man_shrugging:

There is a repo for wallpapers. But it shouldn’t be downloaded automatically.

Did you add any links to this in your .zshrc/.bashrc? Or ran any script which would do something of this tune?

Yes it popped up on its own. I haven’t downloaded any app that I am aware of that would download wallpapers. I doubt i’ve added links in .zshrc/.bashrc, idk what those are. Ran a script that would’ve done it? Not sure, but i dont think so. How do i check?

Have you used the welcome app and clicked on the download wallpapers button by mistake? As shown by @joekamprad in his video, thats the most likely case. your output is exactly the same as what Joe showed in his video

Yes thats what probably happened, i have 2 monitors and the welcome app pops up on the other one, which is currently off. I bet i clicked on it by mistake, i was watching a tv series in fullscreen. Thanks! :muscle:
