This is the most insane glitch i've ever seen. My friend's Ubuntu 14.04 has started endlessly continuing a creepy, staticky voice that repeats words in english, mainly numbers like "one hundred one". It happens persistently and consistently, so I could capture a sound clip if anyone wants one. Some other weird things are happening too. BIOS is booting every time we restart when it didn't before, and also every time we muted or unmuted, thunderbird would start and ask if we wanted an account wit gandi.net. We removed thunderbird but that has had no effect on the other problems. Rebooting also has no effect, the talking starts at login. No programs are listed as running in the sidebar. I'm not super familiar with Ubuntu but it seems insane something like this could happen without any program asking for permission to start or anything. Seems kind of like virus symptoms i've seen on windows but isn't Linux immune to that kind of thing?
