What is up with mandriva.com?

[viking60]

I really have a hard time accessing the Mandriva site. Can anyone else confirm?

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /var/www/web/forum/branches/phpbb2/login.php on line 390

I'm coming up with nothing but it sitting there on a blank page spinning its wheels (in Seamonkey).

In firefox it's coming up now, though. However, it's running slower than me on pot.

Y'know, I don't get this. You run this forum perfectly fine off what, ONE server, purely free. You get no income AFAIK from this site. It's never gone down. It's had a couple errors, but never gone down, and never slowed down. They have how many people working for them, and they can't make that thing run any faster than a turtle for how long now?

[viking60]

Strange. It should not be that hard.

[dedanna1029]

That's what I'm saying. It shouldn't be that hard for them to run that damn forum with decent speed, and a decent interface. You do it single-handedly. So, what's their problem? They're still not loading in Seamonkey for me, btw.

Edit: Finally got a return in Seamonkey when trying to access the mandriva forum:



That crap never, and I mean never, happens here.

mandriva.com is down too btw.

[viking60]

It looks like they have been hacked or something. Still a turtle on Pot here.
Edit: got it in Opera now!

[dedanna1029]

Who knows. Whatever it is, they could've been on top of it before it happened.

Here's an interesting thing for you:

Bugzilla's down there, everything is. No wait. Bugzilla finally just came in. Also very slow. https://qa.mandriva.com/

I'm almost thinking someone took them over (not a hacker, either). Either that, or they're moving to different servers.

Also, I can no longer access them from Firefox.

[viking60]

It is back up again now.

[dedanna1029]

Yep, with no explanation that I can find about what happened. Rude, IMHO.

I had everyone on the planet on I.M. asking me last night what was up with it. I told 'em point-blank, "look, I'm not Mandriva's anything any more, until/if something like this happens, and even then I get it second-hand, and from what I'm seeing myself, which is no more than what you are." They need to explain themselves, even if they were hacked. Whatever it is. I have never seen anyone not explain a long down time like that.

[viking60]

And the Mandriva site is down again - It happens a lot these days.

[dedanna1029]

Yeah, it's down all right. :\ What gets me, is https://qa.mandriva.com/ doesn't normally seem to go down with the rest when it does go down, but even it's down right now.

Sorry, split and merged your comment with this thread, since the subject is already here anyway.
