Root Access

I've tried restoring an old laptop, it had Vista, I tried Win7 and Win10 but with both computer fan were noisy, and temperatures were around 60°C at rest, around 10° higher than Vista, so I got back to Vista. That's weird

crl

Blah group permission issue is driving me mad

I have this group, x containing some 10 users

And this folder y which all users from x can read/write from

Setuid

setuid and setgid (short for "set user ID upon execution" and "set group ID upon execution", respectively) are Unix access rights flags that allow users to run an executable with the permissions of the executable's owner or group respectively and to change behaviour in directories. They are often used to allow users on a computer system to run programs with temporarily elevated privileges in order to perform a specific task. While the assumed user id or group id privileges provided are not always elevated, at a minimum they are specific. setuid and setgid are needed for tasks that require higher...

this might have something to do with it

or maybe it's SElinux again

Q: blue screen with kernel_security_check_failure

I have big problem in my PC, I very often get blue screen with kernel_security_check_failure. My hardware is AMD 7870K, Motherboard F2A68HM-S1 rev 1.0 Memory Kingsdom 8Gb 1866 Mhz, SSD Plextor M6S 256 Gb. What I can for solve the problem? Here are some links to dmp files file1, file2 file3

Took a look at it, all signs point to a video driver issue. Any ideas?
