Virus warning with 4.4.15 klipper update

[jleadbetter]

I'm getting a virus warning in Chrome and Windows Defender when downloading the 4.4.15 release. To say this is worrisome is an understatement.

We've checked the files and they're safe. These warnings can pop up with certain types of files or newer downloads. Feel free to double-check with other antivirus software if you're still unsure.

Just a heads up, the update package includes components intended for use with QIDI Link, which might be flagged by antivirus software as high risk or potentially malicious. However, these components are safe and will not harm your computer. They are designed to run on the printer only after the update is installed.

Hello, Okay maybe, but I really have big trouble to trust someone who say me, don't wory it's a fake positive, just let it run, it's safe ...

Hello, I am also getting this virus warning in addition to the one in the screenshot above. Please fix.

It's hard to remove the warning, so for those who are still concerned about the security alert, here is a temporary workaround:

1. Log into the printer's system using an SSH tool such as MobaXterm. username: root passwd: makerbase
2. Download this zip file, then use the SSH tool to upload the extracted files to the system. auto_update.zip
3. Change working directory to where the files are using cd command, for example:

   cd /home/mks

   and run the provided command.

   bash auto_update.sh

4. After a while, you should see the screen begin to flash as the update proceeds. Wait for the update to complete.

The zip file utilizes an automatic update component introduced in version 4.4.15. After updating to this version, you can use the automatic update feature on the screen to update, bypassing the need to download the update package.

The update process requires an internet connection. For users without network access in their printing environment, it is still recommended to add the downloaded update package to the whitelist of your security software.

I have version 4.4.16 firmware installed (factory). When I run autoupdate I get "Failed to obtain online version information." Error. Printer is connected to wifi and has access to internet. I can not download the latest firmware because it is immediately flagged as having a virus.

[CChen616]

If you can access the printer through Qidi Link but cannot update online, it is likely because the printer's system time is not synchronized, causing SSL certificate verification with the remote server to fail.

You can try using an SSH tool (I recommend Mobaxterm) to enter the printer system and run the following commands:

# username: mks
# password: makerbase
sudo apt-get remove --purge chrony
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd
sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd
sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
# set timezone
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata 

to synchronize the time.

Alternatively, you can add the update package to your antivirus software's whitelist.

Hello @CChen616,

The second command failed

mks@mkspi:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge chrony

I then tried without sudo, the commands seemed to work but time/date is still wrong

@greg9504 try using

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata 

to set the timezone and run sudo timedatectl set-ntp true agian

If it shows NTP service: active

mks@mkspi:/root$ sudo timedatectl set-ntp true
mks@mkspi:/root$ timedatectl

Thanks, but I just finished installing 4.4.19 via USB (everything is OK after installation). I had to turn off virus protection for the folder I downloaded it to.
