I haven’t updated my Arch (Plasma) for some time.
When I updated it yesterday, suddenly all the exe icons started to show up ( I’m dualbooting with Win ), which is not the case before.
As far I looked up, I can’t find anything on internet.
I don’t know if it’s whether WINE or Dolphin or some other package.
So, what’s changed ?
Maybe the Windows partition is getting automounted. If so, there’s nothing to fear. And if you installed Ventoy yourself, there’s even less to fear.
However, if you suspect something untoward is going on, run a virus scan. Use Defender on Windows, and ClamAV on Linux.
ClamAV is unintuitive, so I wrote a helper script called Mussel. Read it, copy-paste it, put it in your PATH.
Mussel script
Windows partition does get automounted. But, it’s because I wanted it to.
But, even before windows and another ntfs drives are automounted, there was no icons.
It’s (icons showing) only after the update.
Also, I have no reason to suspect of any malware. Why do suspect that though?
I simply thought I might be some changes in dolphin or arch or plasma or Wayland.
Thank you for the script though. Looking for something like this for a long time.
