Atheros AR5005GS Wireless Network Adapter (802.11b/g) in this machine is supported by the MadWiFi driver.

 

last night for some time linux-noob.com was inaccessible, and here's why, the nameservers that point the ip to linux-noob.com was being DDOS'd...

Latest Update: Our webserver just got way overloaded and was pretty hard to access over the last couple hours. I've rebooted the machine and it's doing fine. I'll monitor the machine and we're going to ensure that it's stable. We will also ensure a failover webserver is properly configured in the future at a different location. There was no DNS outage during this problem as the web server does nothing besides serve webpages and do some email for us.

I've read your updates here

where you say there was no DNS outage,

 

well I was experiencing it, so that's why I'm emailing you, on IRC I asked a few friends from different parts of the world to ping linux-noob.com (they couldnt) and then to ping the everydns name servers (they couldnt)

 

you can see snippets of that conversation below

 

so, this email is to wish you good luck in fixing this issue and also to inform you that DNS was inaccesible for me and others last night.

Dec 01 22:41:35 <FluKex> not according to whois

Dec 01 22:41:36 <FluKex> ns1.everydns.net

Dec 01 22:41:36 <FluKex> ns2.everydns.net

Dec 01 22:41:36 <FluKex> ns3.everydns.net

Dec 01 22:41:36 <FluKex> ns4.everydns.net

Dec 01 22:41:41 <-- hayig2000 has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

Dec 01 22:41:43 <FluKex> thats what your domain points to in the whois db

Dec 01 22:41:48 <FluKex> so those servers control your dns

Dec 01 22:41:53 <web_any> that's for linux-noob.com

Dec 01 22:42:09 <znx> FluKex: yeah i cant even get them to repsond .. they are dead

Dec 01 22:42:21 <znx> Nameserver ns1.everydns.net not responding

Dec 01 22:42:29 <supababe> panic

Dec 01 22:42:30 * znx nods

Dec 01 22:42:36 <web_any> ok

Dec 01 22:42:40 <FluKex> cant even get to everydns.net

Dec 01 22:42:42 <web_any> they have the issue so

if you've ever setup vsftpd and noticed that when you login it defaults the user to their home directory

 

eg: user anyweb will ftp in to

 

/home/anyweb/

 

then how can you let that user access another folder outside of their home ?

 

using bind !

 

here's a quick example

 

Hi folks,

 

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64

Apache2

Domain: satimis.homelinux.com

(registered with dynsdn.com)

 

Apache is running on this server which is for test purpose.

 

On browser

[/url]http://satimis.homelinux.com

https://satimis.homelinux.com

satimis.homelinux.com

http://satimis.homelinux.com:443

https://satimis.homelinux.com:443

satimis.homelinux.com:443

http://satimis.homelinux.com:8080

https://satimis.homelinux.com:8080

satimis.homelinux.com:8080

 

all of them failed to visit the homepage on /var/www/. They only hung there until time out.

 

Both ports 443 and 8080 are open and not stealth. I have them checked on;

hi guys,

 

first of all thanks to Ritter for pointing this out to me,

 

secondly thanks to znx and grep for testing it, and thirdly thanks to google for providing the service !

 

quick FAQ

 

1. what is this ?

 

it's a gmail account with a difference, instead of yourname@gmail.com you'll get yourname@linux-noob.com

 

2. how do I sign up ?

 

contact anyweb@linux-noob.com directly (for now) with the following info

 

desired username=

firstname=

lastname=

 

3. how do I access it ?

 

Once you have been provided with the temporary password to login, please go to

 

[/url][url=http://email.linux-noob.com]http://email.linux-noob.com and login !

 

please note: this is still in TESTING phase at the moment but I hope to have it rolled out properly soon.

 

 

4. known issues ?

 

currently until i redirect mail provider, you can only SEND mail using your new username@linux-noob.com email address,

 

replies to that address will not reach your inbox,

 

I will fix that soon.

 

feel free to test this by emailing ME with your new email account and the subject 'testing email@linux-noob.com'

 

cheers

ok i have a 100 gig drive which i install and am running windows xp pro to which is the master a drive i keep all my back ups the slave drive and i have a 20gig i want to install suse is there a program that lets me choose the operating system from separate unpartitioned drives

Almost every boot of my FC6 system, I see these errors:

 

does suse 64 bit run slow on a non 64 bit machine cuz my friend got it and said it was slow but i think he used a crappy computer and not the one he uses

everytime i try to run apache, i get the following message.

 

[root@localhost ~]# httpd

 

httpd: Syntax error on line 170 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_access.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

i am new to linux and have no clue. running fc6.

any idea what the problem is and how to solve this? i need to fix this asap cos i need apache for college work.

when i comment the line with the problem, the next line gives the same error.

I've got suse 10.1 64 bit running on my laptop just fine. But I want to enable xgl for all those 3d effects. However there seems to be no support for my video card, ati x200. Anyone else have this problem?

 

thanks
