Slackware :: IPV6 Support Slows Opera And Firefox
Dec 29, 2010
Support for ipv6 keeps being put into the kernel and now into browsers.I blacklisted ipv6 in Slackware and that solved the slow internet response until I updated to the latest Opera and Firefox browsers. Both were horribly slow again. Firefox could be reconfigured to kill ipv6 by running about:config as a url and disabling ipv6.
The new Opera 11 is different. I can't find any config to disable ipv6. Does anyone have an idea?I reverted to Opera 10.11 in order to have zippy internet access again, and not "dialup modem" speeds.

I want to know if sysklogd supports IPv6? I have downloaded latest version of sysklogd, which is 1.5 version. But, I didn't see any information about ipv6 support.

My router doesn't support IPv6. I'm wondering could IPv6 support be provided by just upgrading the firmware? I thought it was just a protocol. Also how does not having IPv6 support affect home users?

Does anyone know if there is any way to configure 50K "virtual" IPv6 addresses on loopback device in Linux?
The aim is not to add all 50K IPv6 addresses one by one on the loopback/ETH device which will probably mess up the ip table on the system. In IPv4, I am able to achieve that by specifying the IP address subnet on loopback device (e.g: "ip addr add 10.1.0.0/16 dev lo"). The same command does not seem to work the same way for IPv6. It only adds a single IPv6 address on loopback device and it automatically adds an "unreachable route" entry on the ipv6 route table for that IPv6 network prefix.
The reason I need this is because I am working on an application which tries to simulate 50K IPv6 addresses on a single Linux box. The kernel version I am currently using is RHEL 2.6.9.55.

I am currently running 11.04 on my laptop. Firefox is struggling to cope with images for some reason. Whenever there are pictures on screen in firefox the computer slows down to a glacial pace.
I tried clearing out the history and cookie files, and i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF but the problem still persists. I have tried other browsers that worked fine with images, but didn't find any that i really liked.

I have opensuse 11.2 and I have no sound from opera or firefox. I have checked Yast and it looks like all of the default sound apps are loaded. I have a newer PC with soundcard on the mobo. I also have XP on this machine and the sound works.

why fonts in Chrome and Opera/Firefox are so different, even though they're set the same (Arial and Times New Roman)?
For me, pages in Opera/Firefox are blurry and I'd prefer to make them look like those in Google Chrome.
How to do that? Especially in Opera?

I have posted the following below on the Ubuntu Forums but have not got a satisfactory answer yet. My problem is as follows:I have installed Xubuntu on my machine to test a setup I want to to for my in-laws. Everything went well until I realised I have a problem loading some pages on Firefox.
There is no error message but they are just stuck on loading and finally timing out. I have then downloaded Opera and I am showing the same problem. A bit of research showed it could be a IPV6 issue. I therefore disabled ipv6 in about:config and also /etc/modprobe.d/aliases - 'alias net-pf-10 ipv6' to alias 'net-pf-10 off ipv6'. No change - still can't get those pages loaded.

Just a reminder, Firefox 3.0 will reach End of Life status with the upcoming release of Firefox 3.0.19. This may concern you if you are still on Jaunty (like me). You may want to search the forum on how to add the repository for a current version of Firefox or Opera. Anybody who knows what Canonical will do in such a situation if a critical bug shows up after Firefox 3.0 will no longer be supported, but Jaunty still is supported?

I'm on Lucid.I don't know if this is a problem from the Windows Live space itself.But since a while ago, all the English text on Windows Live space are squeezed horizontally into little stems and thus illegible. It happens only to Firefox and Opera on Ubuntu (lucid in my case).I compared it with Firefox and Opera on Windows. They both work fine.

For a couple of weeks, I have had constant crashes of all my applications on Lucid:Thunderbird 3.1 (updated since crashing started using Ubuntuzilla)Firefox 3.6.6 (updated since crashing started using Ubuntuzilla) - also crashes in safe mode OpenOffice 3.2 Opera 9.63 Most frequently it is Firefox and Thunderbird crashing, because they're the applications I use most. (Also F-Spot has crashed, but F-Spot frequently crashed before all this, so may not be related).
Sometimes applications will run for a few hours and then crash (either suddenly close or freeze, it varies). Other times the application crashes before it even opens, and I just get the Mozilla crash reporter. If an application won't start at all, it will usually start if I restart the computer, but may crash again soon afterwards. There is no obvious pattern to when it crashes - sometimes on starting, sometimes when I click something, sometimes when I'm not even at the computer and I just come back to find it crashed.
My husband (a programmer) has run Memtest on my machine, which found no problems. He is also running lucid on the same hardware apart from the monitors, and has the same versions of OpenOffice, Thunderbird and Firefox except for extensions, but has not any problems. A warning that shows on the terminal if Firefox crashes in safe mode, is:
WARNING: pipe error: Broken pipe: file /builds/slave/linux_build/build/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 627
WARNING: pipe error (3): Connection reset by peer: file /builds/slave/linux_build/build/ipc/chromium/src/chrome/common/ipc_channel_posix.cc, line 404
This is strange because I did not, when that warning first appeared, have Chromium installed (although I did have Picasa). My husband installed Chromium on my machine after seeing the warning and Chromium is running okay so far but other applications are still crashing.

Is there possibility to disable ipv6 protocol for given interface? More info:
1. I have PC with 3 Ethernet cards. Two of them up(eth0, eth1), other is down(eth2).
2. eth0 is connected to LAN, so it configured to obtain IPv4 address via DHCP(works)
3. eth1 is connected directly to other Ethernet card in other PC and used by packet generator(tcpreplay utility) in debug purposes. ipv4 is not configured on this interface.
4. I have rebuilt kernel with build-in ipv6 support, because it required to work in LAN with some other PC's.
5. Now all my interfaces got own link-local ipv6 address(like fe80::xxxx:yyyy:zzzz:qqqq )
How to get rid ipv6 on my eth1 debugging-interface? Any unauthorised packet send thru interface wastes whole debugging session. "ifconfig eth1 del " doesn't helps. Can it be achieved using tools available in slackware 12.2 or at least slackware 13.1?

I've been messing around with Slackware 13.1 and I screwed something up. I was trying to get Wicd to start automatically at startup so I found a chmod... line of code online and copy/pasted it on my command line. Now whenever I boot the computer, when I get to the KDE desktop, the BASH window opens, Opera opens and I get a bunch of Wicd error windows. How can I fix this?

I've been using Opera 10.11 on two different computer systems, two different locations (work & home), and two different Slackware versions (13 & 13.1 current). Opera 10.11 runs very quickly on both. After upgrading to Opera 10.60, I now find that linking to new web pages takes 5 to 10 seconds, but returning to a previous page is almost instantaneous.
I've tried installing 10.60 using slackbuilds and Opera's installer - both give the same results. I've since reverted to Opera 10.11. why it is so slow to open web pages? Opera 10.60 for Win7 works great, so what happened to the Linux version?

I just finished setting up my slack machine as a home server (printers & files) and I noticed that I have an IPv6 address (from ifconfig)... I didn't know I did. I used to work in tech support and when a windows or OSx machine didn't connect properly on a LAN, disabling IPV6 was a common troubleshooting step. Is there a way to easily turn inet6 connectivity off/on in Slackware? (I want to keep the ability to get an IPv6, we will all use those in the future)

on a fresh install of slackware -current x64, the first thing that i did was download and install opera. now, whenever i start kde, and run opera, X crashes with lots of crazy errors, usually in the format of:
/usr/bin/akonadi*whatever* cannot connect to x server :0
/usr/bin/akonadi*whatever* has crashed too many times and will not be restarted.
and then i get spat back out at the CLI. opera works fine in the other Desktop Environments, and i'm posting from xfce right now, so i know its an issue with akonadi. i would like to use KDE as my default desktop, but i dont want to use it without all of its features

I have been struggling to get FC15 to act as an IPv6 router for a while now, am sure I am missing something trivial.. The idea is that I have a ppp / adsl connection (this works fine), use the wireless card on my pc with hostapd and dhcpd to provide connections to other pcs (works fine), and radvd to delegate ipv6 addresses.
The issue seem to be that as soon as I turn on ipv6 forwarding (net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding =1), the ppp connection no longer gets an IPv6 address. This means the router cannot ping any ipv6 address outside my network.
If I disable ipv6 routing, my router gets an IPv6 address on its ppp connection, and can ping things such as ipv6.google.com just fine, however (of course) no packets are forwarded from my network and radvd complains that forwarding is disabled.

I am having some hang issues with firefox and am not sure what can be the problem. Here is my specs:
Toshiba Satellite L35 Laptop
Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid / Windows Vista Home Basic dual boot
Atheros Integrated NIC
Firefox v3.6.3
Everything is working fine on the network side, being confirmed by both my wife's EEE Netbook, and my iPod(r) Touch. There is no problem with my network interfaces, or my interface card, as confirmed by the other devices' ability to connect and browse at normal speeds.
However; with my lappy running Ubuntu and Firefox, a LOT of websites hang/lag when attempting to browse websites. I have read on some of the forums about disabling ipv6 through the "about:config" option and that seemed to help a little, but not to where it should be. I have tried a lot of options, but it is still lagging.
