~~Ho-tay. Longtime GNU/Debian user here. First time I'm ever touching Wine to launch a Windoze application. The application I'm trying to run is YUMI, which is (Your USB Multiboot Installer), aka PenDriveLinux. Site's been around forever (2002?) and I've used this tool pre-Linux days. Good tool.

Link to official site: [(https://pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/)]

~~Followed everything to the T, no dice when doing wine YUMI-exFAT* in the same directory YUMI-exFAT*.exe is in. I get two errors: Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Searched online, and retried this time with wine64 and wine32 arriving at the same above 2 errors.

So then I went through WineHQ's step-by-step installation for Debian 12 "Bookworm" stable. Retried, same 2 errors.

Running wine explorer to get a GUI of WINE going, I'm able to reach the Windoze YUMI*.exe file, it is listed as an Application under the Type column... and I throw an "Invalid Handle" error when launching from there.

What am I missing here? edit:link~~~~

Downloaded YUMI*.exe again, and this time it worked. Corrupted previous file, disregard the above.

My fellow penguins,

I have been pwned. What started off as weeks of smiling everytime I heard a 7-10s soundbyte of Karma Factory's "Where Is My Mind" has now devolved into hearing dashes and dots (Morse Code) and my all-time favorite, a South Park S13: Dead Celebrities soundbyte of Ike's Dad saying, "Ike, we are sick of you talking about ghosts!"

It's getting old now.

I feel like these sounds should be grepable in some log somewhere, but I'm a neophyte to this. I've done a clean (secure wipe >> reinstall) already, the sounds returned not even a day later.

Distro is Debian Bookworm. So how do I find these soundbytes? And how do I overcome this persistence? UFW is blocking inbound connection attempts everyday, but the attacker already established a foothold.

Thank you in advance. LOLseas

Update: post-reinstallation and monitoring incoming connections, I'm happy to say the sounds have not returned. This has given me the motivation to install a Netgate 1100 with pfSense ahead of the PC. Thank you all!
