facing slow connection after upgraded to 7.10
seems like alot of people facing slow connection in ubuntu forum...
any idea how to disable to ipv6 in firefox?

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.

f*cked. I screwed up my ubuntu.
Now i can't get my sound back.

what did you do and watcha mean by "can't get my sound back?"

I have a some problems here, I hope I would be able to get some assistance here.

1st problem, my wireless connection,
I have no problem connecting to my wireless connection if I disable its encryption, but when I uses WPA AES encryption, I failed to connect to it. The network manager applet just shows the connecting animation (where the bottom circle is green while the top circle is grey). I doesn't feel secure if I leave my wireless connection unencrypted.

I am using
3com usb 3rcusb10075 wireless device, )already installed its driver using ndiswrapper with the inf and sys file from the windows firmware that comes with the CD.) and Dlink DI-524 router.

2nd problem, also wireless
even if I disable encryption, my unbuntu is able to get connected, but with no IP address, as I had disable DHCP, the only way I can get my connection to work is to disable encryption and enable DHCP. I try to insert the infor into etc/network/interfaces but after I set my wireless usb which is given the name eth1, then the wireless option will dissappear from the network-manager applet when I restart.

3rd problem, the "beep" sound.
every time, when there are errors, my system unit will unleash a "beep" sound, but my sound card are running without a problem, as I can hear the login music, and mp3 and etc. Some example of when the "beep" sound occurs are :-
i) when I open terminal, then I press backspace on the keyboard when there is nothing to back.
ii) when I entered the wrong user/password during login, then the message to tell me the error will show up right? but when that happens and I re-enter my username and password, each key that I press will result the "beep" effect.
I just don't understand why it doesn't utilize my sound card to beep, but instead uses the motherboard to beep. Is this scenario normal? or there are some configuration that I need to play with.

Thanks for the help.

hmm....upgrading mine now..hopefully it'll be alright

waseh, looks like there are still alot of problems with 7.10... better wait

Well at the moment i'm not facing any problem.

All i did was fresh install , managed to get compiz working and oso kiba-dock.

Didn't notice any slow connections on firefox or updating(using lan but haven't tried out wireless yet), btw one thing i notice is the startup is abit faster compared with 7.04

Sounds,screen brightness, wireless,shortcut keys all are working.(Lucky me)

Btw i'm using quite a slow notebook

Intel 1.33Ghz




Now waiting for Leopard

actually, most of these r not issues with 7.10, but more to do with configurations getting messed up during the 7.04 to 7.10 upgrade process

how did u do tat?? mind to teach me?? i just installed mine...all working...thank god!!

Err teach wat? May i know

If your's is working and if u ask bout compiz installation it's in there already all u need is ad the Compiz Config Settings Manager

sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

This will add an entry to your System > Preferences menu listed as "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings".

i did tat...and it works...but i dunno how to make the effects like urs...i dunno wat button to press to make it be like tat..hehe..sorry..still new to linux...

Err bro , this theme is original. I only made the taskbar transparent, install kiba-dock and i changed the icons.

Try www.gnome-look.org

haha, my bad my bad. still newbie in ubuntu.

Btw, which server you guys use for software source, I cant find a suitable 1 le

I did mention it before in the previous post, u can try the taiwan server.

Can integrated graphics card produce the effects that you have shown above? Is it RAM intensive?

Hi guys!

Finally managed to do a clean dualboot install on my Ferrarri 4000 which comes with the DREADED Broadcom 4318 wifi chipset. It was a nightmare on Feisty, and I was expecting the same with Gutsy - however I was proven wrong. My WEP home network was detected in no time (this was after installing the restricted drivers for the Wifi Chipset). Best way to do that is just connect directly thru Cat5 to a router.

I'm gonna try getting the compiz addon.

Have some questions tho - my boot time is suspiciously longer on Gutsy compared to Feisty, and Firefox takes some time to get websites. Is that anything to do with the IPV6 thingi as mentioned above?

Thanks!
