I am an idiot...

[Xenofex.XVII]

I once left "Worms wold party" running on my old comp,
and when i was back the screen was black. It turned out that the comp overheated.

One of my newest idiotic questions was:

Recently installed K(de)ubuntu.

I have a similar problem.
After playing with settings I managed to connect to my LAN, No internet.
Now after more playing with settings the eth0 interface got disabled. I try to Enable it but,
it remains disabled.

My settings that worked on WinXP:

Code: Select all

Does anyone know how can I enable the network, and internet?
The problem might be becouse of installing packages via ADEPT, and becouse of editing files

• /etc/hosts
• /etc/network/interfaces
• /etc/resolv.conf

Tried command

Code: Select all

#ifconfig

in terminal cosole, but it did nothing. No error, no info.

Centuries ago, on a 80286, spent 1/2 an hour checking connections and wires 'cause the pc wouldn't start.
(The monitor was off)

[Kalah]

It took you half an hour to check connections and cables?

[Lady Farquad]

You dont have the slightest idea on how obssesive I can be (and how many times I re re checked them)

[Kalah]

I'll bet you even wondered if the cables were intact...

Really?Your cooler must have burned out.I think I have 7 or 8 coolers in my comp.And its been on for some 3 to 4 months now,with longest break being half a day.Still works perfectly(though I do have to clean the coolers regulary).

#ifconfig

/sbin/ip
and for help /sbin/ip --help

or by using this obsolete command

/sbin/ifconfig

the way to get the help is generally same in whole linuxes, another way is "info ip" or "man ip", where, in trouble where the command is located, you may try "locate ifconfig"

Feel free to share any similar experiences.

I was using my connection happily, then it stop working. Internet Destroyer stopped working, closed all my windows and restarted my computer. After restarting it, I couldn't edit any field on the web, even to access my webmail or things like writing an URL on the navigation bar.

Well, I couldn't find out why until this very day , so I'm using Firefox! ..................... ..........................

That wasn't my fault.

nothing can destroy like a microsoft product can destroy!!!

Yes but sometimes the "source of error" sits in front of the keyboard

@Panda Tar : That was not aimed at you ! Regarding Microsoft products we are all just victims !

[asandir]

indeed that is true, many times it is the (l)user who causes the problems

[asandir]

and stupidity probably sits above hydrogen ....

[ThunderTitan]

and stupidity probably sits above hydrogen ....

The way i heard it was "but i'm not sure about the Hydrogen."

[asandir]

that's the one

Quote properly:
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Albert Einstein

[DaemianLucifer]

And there is increasing number of theories that the universe has borders,so...Oh,and a nice version of this could be "All things die.Only stupidity is eternal"

[Panda Tar]

We are mostly the ones who cause the problem. In fact, if we didn't use those products, we wouldn't find out bugs and problems.

The right thing to do is to left those things to rot in a trash can nearby.

[asandir]

ummm, what??

[Lady Farquad]

"Products cause stupidity?

Note: Following Einstein's own theories, is not hard for mathmaticians to conclude that the universe is "curved", ergo has borders (of some kind).
