Yes.
So many networkcard? Please check using ifconfig or lspci and iwconfig.

Try use static ip rather than dhcp.
If you use dhcp, DNS will be forwarded by your router to your pc. That is why your nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf always changes.
You can use dhcp if you set DNS in your router similar to your ISP.
ex: streamyx
202.188.0.133
202.188.1.5

In order to use static ip, edit /etc/network/interfaces something like this.
ex:
Your router ip is = 192.168.1.1 (this is your gateway)
and the networkcard connected to that router is = eth0
CODE
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.1.2
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.1.0
       broadcast 192.168.1.255
       gateway 192.168.1.1

iface eth1 inet static
       address 10.1.1.1
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 10.1.1.0
       broadcast 10.1.1.255

auto eth2    # I'm not so sure is this exist in your pc, remove if doesn't exist
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0   # not so sure if this exist in your pc, remove if doesn't exist
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp  #save to leave as it is


Save and restart networking: # /etc/init.d/networking restart

And there's always the good "changing write permissions to the resolv.conf file" trick... Worked for me last time, even while using DCHP... But as problem solved already (and Static IP is also useful for port fowarding), lets just leave it at that... thumbup.gif

Hello guys smile.gif

3-week old uBuntu user here, and I still can't figure out one thing (call me a noob, I'm really one sad.gif - but I'm familiar with linux systems, just don't have enough exp hehe)

Here's my issue:

I've been trying to play .mkv (Matroska) files on my uBuntu (Edgy 32 bit). But heres the problem:

1) If using Totem-Xine, the file will play, but no subtitles, bad performance (jerking sometimes)

2) If using mplayer, it will play, got subtitles, but will crash when I drag the slider bar

3) Using VLC, also similar to mplayer.

I've tried everything from recompiling to reinstalling, but none works sad.gif Can someone point me the right way? Thank you! rclxub.gif

Well, as Totem completely refuses to play my stuff at all (some sorta confilct with AIGLX+Beryl), I'm playing all my stuff, (.MKV and .OGM included) through KDE's Kaffeine. No issues as of yet.

Which reminds me, are you running XGL or AIGLX?

anybody knows how to change my desktop look on 6.10?

like desktop modication - calendar, weather, dock, theme?
*
Dock = Kiba dock (requires Beryl).

Theme = (with Beryl) Emerald (comes with Beryl), Heliodor (allows use of GNOME Metacity themes with Beryl), Aquamarine (like Heliodor but for use with KDE themes); themes can be found here (gnome-look.org) -- (w/o Beryl) search for Metacity themes at the link above...

The other stuff = gdesklets (uses python - eats up more mem, easier to config), adesklets (far faster, uses less memory, harder to config), rainlender lite (available for linux), conky (hard to config, esp. with Beryl).

Good luck!

Loadz till "desktop" lor.
Like normal linux. But it doesn't show the main partition drive or C: D: or whatsoever.
Only detects my friends external... =.=

Can't even modify the drive...

Help please~* notworthy.gif

You're trying to access the computer's disks through the liveCD? I haven't really tried to do that before, but I don't really think it's possible (correct me if I'm wrong)...

But about not being able to modify the external, that's normal. I take your friend's external HDD is formatted with NTFS (the default Windows disk format). Ubuntu can only read NTFS formatted disk, no writing.

It CAN write to FAT32 formatted disks though... icon_rolleyes.gif

edgy's synaptic does really slow in downloading packages aren't they?..
im wonderring why, even apt-get is very slow here..
but browsing internet was fine with firefox 2.0..
im on 2mbps adsl line.. my windows and freebsd box dont have any prob with slow connection..
is there any kind of bugs with synaptic or what?.. can someone enlighten me please?..

thank you.. smile.gif

It's because you're probably using a faraway repository to update from... I'm using the Japanese ones, so they're kinda quick, there's probably Malaysian ones too if you really want them fast...

Steps below if you don't know how to do it...

type in the terminal window: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

you'll get something like this:

## Add comments (##) in front of any line to remove it from being checked.
## Use the following sources.list at your own risk.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

## MAJOR BUG FIX UPDATES produced after the final release
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

add the items I've bolded:

## Add comments (##) in front of any line to remove it from being checked.
## Use the following sources.list at your own risk.

deb http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

## MAJOR BUG FIX UPDATES produced after the final release
deb http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://jp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse


DON'T change anything else... Substitute my. for the jp. if you want to try the Malaysian servers.

Things should be faster, I hope... icon_rolleyes.gif

Good luck!

hye eiraku thnx for ur reply..
im aware that they got a server in Malaysia for their repos and im using them since the beginning downloading their iso..
yes my slow speed mentioned before was using Malaysia server..
im wonderring if your synaptic dont have any problem with slow connection at all?..
did u use any torrent client?.. if yes how about their performance?..
i was using dapper drake before and i didnt face this prob.. this edgy was clean install not through upgrading.. that why im curious about this synaptic..
*
Well, torrenting is throttled, as usual (utorrent+wine here), and I can only reach above 30kbps if I'm lucky... sweat.gif

I don't use synaptic though, as I like the command line better (using aptitude), and download speeds are generally good (as par my Dapper Drake before this - around 15-30kbps mostly) unless the Japan servers are unreachable (which happens sometimes)... But now that you've mentioned it, I do recall Malaysian servers to be a little bit slower in terms of update downloads... Dunno why... sweat.gif

And there's an update to Synaptic out, I just installed it a coupla minutes ago... Dunno, but it might help... icon_rolleyes.gif

it does happen with apt-get too... hmm.gif
i'd test using the same torrent in windows,freebsd and this Ubuntu box.. death note which currently got a lot of local peers.. both windows and bsd able to get > 100kbps.. but sadly edgy <30kbps.. sad.gif
thanx for ur heads up.. maybe reverting back to dapper drake or test out suse 10.2..

Hmm... I don't really know... I got > 90kbps for the latest Tokimeki Memorial torrent, so I can't really say... Sorry... rclxub.gif

I just started using Ubuntu not too long back (6.06), I everything about it's better than Windows AFAIK, except for one thing.

I noticed that my Internet keeps disconnecting whenever I download something that takes longer than 3-4 mins on Firefox to dl, i get disconnected with this error on plog:

Dec 19 14:04:43 localhost pppd[3622]: LCP terminated by peer
Dec 19 14:04:43 localhost pppd[3622]: Connection terminated.

I'm using a Aztech DSL600E and Streamyx for my modem/ISP.

I just started using Ubuntu 6.10 on my new computer. Everything is run smoothly except I cannot access certain website like Google and Yahoo. I'm using Aztech DSL600EU Router and Streamyx for my ISP.
Please help, what configuration I should do?

Provided you've added the two numbers alankong just mentioned to the resolv.conf file, it's probably ubuntu rewriting the DNS numbers again... I assume you guys set up the Streamyx connection using pppoeconf... It does that sometimes, the easiest way I know of (seems an ugly hack to some, but works for me) is to reset the write permissions of the resolv.conf file (located somewhere in the /etc/ dir) so that nobody (yourself and "root" included) would be able to rewrite the file... icon_rolleyes.gif

This (supposedly) keeps your dns settings, smooth sailing afterwards... smile.gif

There's also the long winded way of doing this, but I forgot how... sweat.gif
