UPDATE: Disabling IPv6 in Ubuntu works! My surfing and downloading is back to normal now.

mind to explain how u disable ipv6?

Well I should clarify that this solved my problem with Firefox loading pages VERY slowly. So i went on the forums and got this:

Open firefox. Type in about:config at the address bar and type in network.dns.disableIPv6 at the Filter field. Double-click on the appeared Preference Name so that the value will be changed to True. This will not effectively disable ipv6. It's just that this would save you a few seconds when accessing a web page as firefox assumes that the webserver is inside a ipv4 network. Hence, it would only query for a domain<->ipv4 translation.

hmm..thx for ur feedback....still looking for 1 good download manager...sigh

I have been looking around for a good download manager for years... still havent found one... tried wget, aris, kget... even tried orbit with wine

You'll get much better sound. No more noises.

if you experience sound being played "slow motion".
go to terminal type: alsamixer
change the clock to 48000.
that will fix the problem

disabled the IPv6 in firefox .. now browsing back to normal liauu ... thanks

another thing i noticed about this 7.10 is everything is much more laggy compared to 7.04 .. anyone else experiencing this as well ???
i put the resource monitor up on taskbar ... even browsing seems to suck up quite significant CPU power .. hhmmmmmmmmm

Been keeping an eye on that, it seems yes, a little bit slow when starting up...but once up I can't tell the difference from Feisty, even with Compiz on.

Guys

any chance to install Ubuntu on my Raid5 (nvidia)?

Anybody tried the Kubuntu version? i have problem mounting HDD with it. It won't mount HDD other than itself and thumbdrive. at first I thought it was because my other HDD was in NTFS, but it has built in NTFS-3g (latest build). Then I found out it won't even mount other linux (ext2 and ext3) partitions also. I wanted to use Amarok on this but my MP3s are in the other linux partition. My HDD can be accessed fine on Ubuntu and even teh Kubuntu partition can be read on Ubuntu.

Installed Ubuntu 7.10 64bit on my notebook, i'm noobie in linux but seems this is really cool OS. Need to learn more about linux coz its really big different between MS DOS interms of command line.

i'm a Kubuntu user, if you have problems mounting, try this



change the hdb1 according to your partition numbering

best os ever
never has problem
internet is not affected
love it

Can you post the contents of /etc/fstab here?

Any one face connection problem for their pidgin? I cant connect pidgin, btw it is a fresh install of gutsy

tried to install, but stuck when it ask to choose which partition to use.
ive got 2 partitions in my lappy,

another one, got windowsxp in it.. sayang seyh nak buang.
got so many options there
ext2, ext 3, swap, ntfs, dontuse etc(forgot oredi)
tried al of them , still failed,
but when i try to use the backp up partition, bleyh plak,

reinstall your xp, and make 2 partion, for xp and ubuntu. install the xp, then install ubuntu in another partition. and get yourself a big ass external harddisk
