View 2 Replies View RelatedIve heard so much about linux and while it is great to be back online it is frustrating when certain sites and applications dont work with linux. Why cant linux produce a simple o/s like windows where i can download a file and open it simply without having to type and search.
I dont want to give up on ubuntu but unless i can get freecorder working or the sound recorder to actually record by itself or with audacity and tvu player and andromedanet.com to work hen i will have to, but my question remains- why cant linux be so user friendly to pcnumbnuts like me and others and perform simply and then you would have a real alternative to windows, but until then windows wins all time bye all.
What I want to do now is make nicmatthew.co.cc point to /var/www/nicmatthew/html and make rielworld.co.cc point to /var/www/jimriel/html. I have created the apache vHosts nicmatthew.co.cc and rielworld.co.cc containing this:
Code:
<VirtualHost 67.23.224.90:80>
ServerName nicmatthew.co.cc
ServerAlias nicmatthew.co.cc
ServerAdmin nmatthew@nicmatthew.co.cc
[Code]...
So now I would like to know how to make rielworld.co.cc and nicmatthew.co.cc point to the correct places. Do I somehow set up nameservers? Do I make an A record?
In the past week or so I've noticed some weird network behaviour. I find accessing some sites such as Amazon, Paypal, and Bigstockphoto really slow. Sometimes the page will not load at all. Other sites are fine. The problem sites are not a problem for others on my LAN at home. When I try to open the problem sites, I can see in Firestarter blocked connections coming from 2.1(8/9).xxx.xxx on various ports such as 36007. This only happens for the problem sites. I attached a typical output from firestarter.
This happens with Firfeox or Chrome. Using Ubuntu 10.10
I can ping certain websites, such as Adobe.com, but I cannot access them via http (i.e. through firefox or yum). Some websites work through http, like Google, while others don't. The ones that don't are always the same.
What really hurts here is I cannot yum to all repos i'd like to. Since the same sites cannot be accessed through firefox, I imagine there is some underlying problem with my system's HTTP setup.
My windows machine on the same network works fine. I have had this problem since I installed Fedora 10 about 4 months ago. I'd rather not reinstall as nothing really seems broken (aside from this http issue), my system is completely up to date.
If I use a public proxy website I can get to the sites I can't connect to directly. I've followed a FAQ from mozilla for Firefox that hasn't helped, but I don't think its a Firefox issue since yum suffers as well. I also followed the fedora FAQ and I have been using OpenDNS servers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI dual boot XP and FC14 and have 2 routers. I can connect and ping one of these routers when I'm in FC and I have an IP address I just can't load any websites. When I connect to the other router (my main router) it works fine. When I boot into XP and connect to the problem router I can load pages fine. It's only when I'm on FC14 and connect to the problem router that I can't load pages even though I have an IP and can ping around.

There are some sites which allow you to listen the mp3 song like [url]
I have found the most simple way to get mp3 file
(1)Sometimes you get address ending with .mp3 so just copy the whole URI and use in terminal wget "PasteWhatYouCopied"
(2)But in the link I have mentioned there is no mp3 link in address bar.
Here I found out in totem-plugin-viewer(that is the thing that plays your file in browser).Just Click the button next to sound and select copy
In example taken above it is [url]
And use just like before wget "PasteWhatYouCopied" -O output.wma
Also notice that you have the song as output.wma in current folder of terminal.
(3)If there is a video on webpage then either wait for it to get completely downloaded & get it from /tmp.Remember don't close the page till video gets downloaded completely & you copied it from /tmp then only close that tab.
(4)There is a firefox addon 'unplug' which can help for flv because after sending file to download via unplug you can close that tab.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I was wondering if there are some good general Linux blogs or Ubuntu blogs or sites that you guys use. My definition of good is:
-Fresh content(It seems like when ever I find something I want to try, the info is from like 2006)
-Good site design(Again something not from 2006)
Something like a Lifehacker that focuses on Linux or Ubuntu would be cool.
I have been wondering about building cheap, but usable computers to sell linux on around my city. However, my knowledge of computer parts is fairly limitied. I do know what I want to look for when it comes to certain parts, but not something such as mobo, unit case, or power unit.
If there really isn't a site, if anyone wanted to, post the kinds of cases, power units, and mobo's there are, and if possible links to their specs, and I'll start working on this myself. The only things that are a must, pci-e slot, and 2.5ghz and/or greater cpu.

Are there any tricks/sites/methods to use the linux man command in a more convenient way? I love commands in terminal but for some strange reason I preferred to type man in firefox then in the terminal. The output is so long and I have to scroll forever to find what I need. Also the lack of example is a headache.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to mirror a particular website (all the pages under that particular domain) any pages (but not whole sites) that the website links to.
How to do this
wget -r --level=inf (or some other variant) will mirror the site.
wget -r -H --level=1 will get all the links (from all domains) to the first level.
Anyone have any ideas on how I could combine these, to get the entire of the main site and one level deep into external sites. I've been banging my head against the manual all afternoon.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to 10.04, Firefox sits showing "looking up" as it takes as much as 1 to 5 minutes to find a site and all the different things to load the site. A few sites just pop up as they should, but many take a long time to ever come up...and it is not the site. Sometimes the same site will load quickly and the next time will take for ever to find.
I have a very fast connection, everything worked fast in the old version and in windows. I have went through all the about:config things to speed up Firefox.
Im having trouble using my wireless usb dongle. I've installed the software and connected to the web, but i can only access a number of websites.
I can access ....., and watch vids and perform searches on google, bing, yahoo and the like. However when i try and access a site that i have searched for it takes me to the internet providers homescreen and tells me to activate my account or top up my account.
I know i have enough GB left as i recently activated my account and i'm able to use the wireless stick on another computer without any problems on all websites. So this leads me to believe that there is maybe a problem with my browser or security settings, but im not sure what to do.
