Gowator Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I use Webmin to control a headless server and a while ago had problems, basicaly the icons taking forever to display.... I was a bit worried about beiung compromised but I reinstalled and everything has been fine for a while.... Then today again I get the same problem... Has anyone else experienced this... am I the only one and even better does anyone know why? [moved from Networking by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Webmin uses plain html (plus java) for its display, so I cannot see why it happens- unless the Ubuntu package is pants... Does it work sans ssl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a new mystery... why did resolv.conf suddenly get altered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I can only think if an update overwrote the file. I've known DHCP to overwrite the resolv.conf as well. But that's normal I think :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 If you do not hard-lock the resolv.conf file, ubuntus dh-client script will overwrite the settings if the package gets updated. Happened to me, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 But if you hard lock it, and your ISP's dns changes......... ;) but that doesnt normally happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have more than one PC its just this one is a dedicated server... its damned annoying and it wasn't until I tried an apt-get update I wondered what the heck was going on.. then realised what it must be.
