If someone could tell me what all these goutputstream files are, I'd greatly appreciate it. They've shown up randomly in ~/. and I had never seen files repeat themselves (same file name with different numbers at the end) like I have since I went Linux Mint 12. There are other files that do this as well (hoping upon hope it's not that dumb worm, which I totally do not understand). But seriously, goutputstream*? I don't get it. Wish I could remember the names of the other ones that do this, but it's been a while since I've been on the netbook, and I just can't. Here is the contents of one of them, .goutputstream-AADDIW:

... That's right, it's blank, as they all are.
Wonder if I can delete them?



Thanks.

Well just rename them with and see if it boots ok after that. And google "stupidfile" first!
And do the rkhunter -c and chkrootkit stuff too.

According to this it is lightdm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/984785
They are created on shutdown and one workaround is to log off then shut down.

Oh, yay, thanks.
