The new high-altitude levels add some interesting elements to the mix with ancient statues, shaky rope bridges and swinging relics. The update should be available for your iPhone or iPad.

I was playing minecraft for 8 hours until my pc froze. I couldn't click anything or do anything. The it finally responded but the all the programs closed and my pc started to shut down. Usually it takes 5 minutes to shut down but this time it shut down really quick. I'm not sure if I presses the shutdown button but I don't think I did.

I've been having this issue for around two weeks now and cannot solve it. I have followed all of the steps outlined on every site and discussion, but it's simply not working. My system is completely up to date, running the latest chrome, and I have uninstalled all previous Silverlight software. I tried disabling my firewalls and malware protection and installing Silverlight but that didn't help either. It fails both from downloading right from the web, and also when I try and update it via Windows Update. Right from the web the error just says "Installation failed", and from Windows Update I get the error "Code 643 Windows Update encountered an …

Alright, so I had an error pop up that I couldn't close so I went on the internet and was told I have to go into safe mode and do a cleanup. So I did that and went back to regular windows only to find I can't connect to any wifis because it can't find any even though there are, and I can't use sound meaning there is no sound when I click in the sound icon it brings up a thing looking for solutions. I also use start8 but that's not working either. These are the only problems I noticed but can someone help? By the way I use windows 8 and an hp pavilion g7. I also cleaned my registry using cleaner. That's all. Continue reading...

The laptop connection is always very good. Why is this? Someone also said the PC may have a virus on it. Any help? Continue reading...

by Guest foggy- 0 replies

Hello forum. I have a issue to stop/restrict specific controltype packet in the openldap. I use a product with integrated openldap server or remote ldap server. Usually I use it with integrated openldap and remoto openldap server or the ActiveDirectory server, but also support other ldap server. In this time, I have to connect remote ldap server, but it's old product, so this ldap server dosen't support specific controltype packet is the OID:1.2.840.113556.1.4.319.

how is ssh resolving hostnames?
by Guest tjareson- 0 replies
- 536 views
Hi, I have a strange issue on the console here: If I want to open a ssh connection to a server by using the hostname of this server, ssh tells me after a few seconds "could not resolve hostname ...: no address associated with hostname". If I ping the hostname it gets properly resolved and ping works. nslookup of the hostname shows me that my own router works as DNS and the right IP is shown. How is ssh doing the dns look-up so that it is saying that the hostname cannot be resolved? Is there any difference compared to ping? Cheers Tjareson Continue reading...

stunnel & inetd
by Guest adrhc- 0 replies
- 740 views
Hi, I'm trying to setup a inetd & stunnel configuration which would allow me to securely access the following sites: h t t p : / / 192.168.1.31:9091/transmission over ssl port 91 h t t p : / / 192.168.1.31:32400/web/index.html over ssl port 324 The configuration below works fine when only one (plex or transmission) item in inetd.conf is active. Anyway I also learn that they do not create the stunnel.pid and stunnel.log files in the allocated folder (stunnel-transmission respective plex-transmission) which seems to me strange. When both items are active than both secured urls (192.168.1.31:91/transmission and 192.168.1.31:324/web/index.html) will work but will …
