Gowator 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now a new mystery... why did resolv.conf suddenly get altered! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
