It's most likely a bit of both. If it were one or the other, it would probably be either invisible or a patchable string check
like strings some.so | grep chrome. get xrefs to in IDA. patch logic for the cmp to be a static jmp instead of a je or jne. problem solved if it's just a branding string check
@hbdgaf that would be awesome, I'm afraid it may be more than that from the "invalid credentials" warning, but if it is just checking for the branding like someone else suggested, it might be an easy fix
@Mateo I like that it's built on UE3 instead of some non-portable hardware intensive engine like CryEngine. I also like that they found lots of ways to cheat performance bottle-necks (making it look intentionally cartoony means you don't really want super-detailed textures and high poly counts or interpolation for smoothing etc etc)
I think they also tried to make it more about gameplay and less about "check out our engine. we rulez". so...
I am not able to start the operating system .Whenever I try to start the operating system it shows the following error:

I have ubuntu on my pc along with windows 8.1. How can I resolve this problem?
I tried inst...
@Rinz - I think this is what the OP might be looking for: askubuntu.com/questions/536135/… but I can't find the question on SO. I know I read it there though.
It's something like that. IIRC, icons are foreground of root window and wallpaper is background. I don't use desktop icons though, so I never encountered the problem.
Probably so. I was looking at it to do always on bottom desktop widgets that can't be closed or clicked.
I am still toying with the BL2 mod thing. I'm just a little addicted to the game itself. So when I go in for a mem-dump, it turns in to "I'll just play a little bit" and then "Wait, why is it dark outside?"
Oh, protip: if you have a grossly overpowered weapon the first time you get to Fink's slaughterhouse, keep playing that one until you beat it. It gets harder as you level up... so it's easier if you do it at lower levels with a purple or orange drop.
Yeah. So, the first time you get to the fridge... do it then.
I'm about half way to getting the "all purpled up" accomplishment or whatever it is. I save some lower-level ones in the vault just so I can toss them on when I have everything covered and tag that one out.
Yeah, I see that now that I look at the profile a little more.
@Mateo heh that too
@Mateo if you have a jakobs sniper and want to jump in on a map with massive gold per second, lmk. there's one where you can skyrocket your dollars if you can manage not to die.
and by you, i mean you or me, really anyone playing the map. it wasn't an insult.
ping me if you want to. i'm ACTUALLY WORKING ON getting the mod stuff atm, but I'll succumb to the play me... PLAY ME... eventually
i may even have to install it in a windows VM to try and find the right functions instead of my third person vehicle toggle approach to simplify things on finding the right functions stuff.
it's not really about the valules. it's more about finding the right functions. since the windows one uses binary search and the linux one uses a different compiler, searching for compiled nonces doesn't necessarily work...
i was thinking - "oh, it looks for a struct in the binary" when it doesn't. it seems like it looks for function signatures. and that is going to be different with different compilers. so it's sort of a "i know it's a subroutine of this exported function. so i need to look for all subroutines from this exported function and weed them out". like if I identify that that they're using something that gets called in the vehicle switch function and it's the first function call in that blob.
then all i have to do is find that function and look for the first call instruction.
that's not entirely accurate though. i doubt the vehicle switch blob is exported. just saying. i'm still thinking. but i am thinking.
When the vlc media player is put in full screen, the controls ( seek bar ) goes ( inaccessibly ) to the extreme right, with just a small left most portion of the seekbar visible on the screen ... Is it a vlc bug ?
Oh yeah .. I remember doing that a while ago ... but right now the other monitor is not connected ... I'll try connecting back the monitor and resetting the display !
fair enough. i'ld fix it with xrandr first though. then see the changes working and move it to a gui. control number of variables and know what is happening instead of hoping a gui tool gets it right
hmm I guess thats what I got to do now ... in the arandr, even when I mirror the displays, this does not fix this bug :/
I feel this bug is with vlc rather ... coz even when 2 displays are connected, there is no point in hanging out the seek bar to be at the center of 2 displays when the full screen is applied only to one !
@user3197452 good luck. i'm not trying to be ugly. i just don't want to walk down all these forks. there's not a reason I can't point you at ones that I see though.
I have 9 VMs running Ubuntu 12.04. The configuration of each machines are as follows.
RAM - 4GB
Cores - 4
Is there any command so that can we decrease the RAM to say 1GB and cores to 1 core just for some experiment and later I need to use original configuration.
Thanks

@ThomasW. Hah. I like the general answer I saw laying around for stuff like that. It essentially read "It's simpler to patch the bug in open source software than it is to write a virus definition. So even if they were to be written, the flaws would be patched instead of relying on some kind of definition."
