Re: [tor-relays] [Fwd: Re: I'm Running A Tor Exit But Never Initiated It]

If I unplug my router.Â First, my router/modem does what it wants, when it wants.Â That thing lights up like a xmas tree by resetting itself sometimes as frequent as once a week to several times a day.Â Second, once unplugged nothing shows up.Â The guy next to me has Verizon and his never shows up.

I changed my admin/password, password the second I installed it.Â Not only that but I change my passwords constantly and when I do I always use upper/lower case letters, numbers, and punctuation between 14 to 40 characters in strength.Â When I look at the admin page/router page it changes.Â It also depends on which browser I use.Â When I use firefox the word _javascript_{0} shows up on the bottom left side of my page only when I hover my mouse over the firewall and MoCA but _javascript_{0} does not show up if I use Microsoft Edge or Chrome.Â Also, it's configured in ways I don't fully understand.Â The last time I called Xfinity to address this situation the tech told me the stuff I was rattling off to him wasn't on the page he was looking at yet him and I were on the same page.Â Every time I've done a hard factory reset it still goes back to how it is now.Â Once I called Xfinity and spoke to a tech who told me he was going to do the reset from where he was since for some weird reason I was unable to.Â After I gave him my new wifi name and password and said and I quote, "Hunh.Â That was weird."Â When I asked "what was so weird" he replied with, "Your name and password went to black dots on my screen then disappeared from my screen.Â Mam, (yeah, I'm a woman) can I ask if you have someone in your router?"Â I simply told him, "yes."Â To which he then asks me, "Do you know who they are?"Â I said, "Nope."Â Then he placed me on hold, got back on with me and told me after he does the reset again he's going to report this issue but I've yet to hear back from anyone.

My very first bootable flashdrive was created using pendrivelinux universal usb installer.Â That was early September 2015 and it was Ubuntu 14.04.Â Then once the OS was installed that's when weird things started to happen which forced me to take the Dell desktop to one place and my Acer laptop (along with the flashdrive) to another repair place and instead of repairing both Android Moto G phones I bought two new Moto E next generation phones.Â I'm assuming that whomever or whatever partitioned both HDDs and caused visible trouble within my network thought I would leave well enough alone and go back to our typical internet user lives.Â I couldn't though.Â I had and still have a drive in me to find out how that was done, why it was done and who did it.Â Instead of it scaring me it intrigued me.Â Soon after I found myself going down a rabbit hole.

To date I have 11 different flashdrives with 11 different operating systems on them.Â In addition to the flashdrives I also made 6 different bootable dvds with 6 different operating systems on them.Â With ALL my ISOs, I did everything by the book and never had an issue with any of them.Â First I made sure I was downloading my ISO ONLY from the official website.Â Second I ALWAYS made sure my checksums were exact.Â I never took my own path while following directions.Â I wanted to do everything with textbook accuracy. My signatures always checked out.Â

I have Tails.Â Everything was fine with Tails up until the last I tried to run it, December 28, 2015.Â (I date everything by the way) It kept crashing and telling me I didn't have a complete installation.Â It was up to date with, like I said, good signatures but it went weird and eventually just produced a black screen so I disregarded it and moved onto other stuff.

No.Â The only router/modem I have is the Xfinity Arris router/modem combo.Â I'm on my third replacement.Â After I got the one I'm using now and noticed the same weird stuff happening I just gave up the fight with Comcast.Â When I inquire about buying my own I'm told I'm not permitted, contrary to what their site states.Â When I inquire about changing ISPs I get told by each one (FIOS, Hughesnet, etc) that they don't provide service in my area which is strange considering the guy next to me uses FIOS.

Of course I've tried sudo apt-get update, upgrade and everything else under the sun.Â This is what I get as of a few minutes ago:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Mate is the desktop type, like cinnamon, xfce, kde. What release? Same one, 17.3?
what type media did you use to install? did it come from Mint for sure, and did you check the signature? At the bottom of the download page @ Mint there is the checksum to get. That is why, especially with tor, we should always be confident of the iso... and so should anyone apparently. There were bogus copies of everything going around a couple years ago, and even "Anonymous" released their own iso full of malware. Wasn't them, but irrelevant.
Get a good copy and reinstall. Use Tails to download it to a clean flash drive.
I assume you have a router after your modem, that is why the ISP sees a different setup. You have both 192.168.0.* and 10.0.0.* listed, both are private addresses.
Have you tried sudo apt update, then sudo apt upgrade from a terminal?
