this isn't any kind of software issue. it's not about how to get adobe flash properly working, or what kind of graphics adapter i have. i just can't connect to youtube.
i tried different browsers, cleared my hosts file and restarted, but still nothing.
even if i try to ping www.youtube.com i get 'unknown host'
i can connect to any other website.
AND, i can connect to youtube on the same machine, as long as i reboot into windows.
i though it'd be something i bricked, so i tried booting from a debian live cd, and a ubuntu live cd, and i still can't get youtube.
so, it's not the hosts file, it's not some arcane setting that was modified, it's not a software issue. i tried to check whether it was down, but downornot.com/youtube gives me a 'over quota' error.
so, is youtube down for anyone else? or am i just unlucky?
