Hi Gurus
You that know almost everything about Debian and Linux and have much more experience then me.
I have a root process named "uas" i cant find what it is or what it's for.
uas.. it is a child process of kthreadd.Sorry for the image is in swedish, but I'm guessing you guys know your linux so you know what it should say in english on those rows
If not, just say the word and i make an translation for you.
. I have an uptime of 25days and 12hours, so i started my computer on the 21st of February, so the "uas" process started 4½ days later.. i have not installed anything or run any updates.. so i have no clues of what it is, and my logs do not say anything about the 26th at that time.
The only thing i did find that matches that time is
I tested to boot up a live debian 12 but that one do not have that process, and looking on the properties as the picture shows it gives no clues as normal processes does... it more behave like windows malware, as it want to hide and it is impossible to kill the process "uas".. or even just to temporary stop it is impossible.. i can change the priority though from original very high to low. but that's the limit of what is possible to do.
I did try to search the web. but i only found drones on googeling Process uas.
and searching the Debian.org site gave me nothing and there is no package names named uas.
So what is your guessing guru guys?![Cool 8)]()
