Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Unable To View Webpages Without Refreshing
Jan 24, 2010
So I have a laptop that I installed 9.10 on recently and for a bit everything was going fine. I have done a few updates over the course of the past week and for a couple days now I have got a huge problem. I am unable to view web pages without having to refresh them over and over until it finally loads. I thought this issue was only with Firefox and I researched the issue and ended up disabling ipv6 in FF. To no avail.
Synaptic Package Manager also will not connect to the internet. It will receive the list of updates but as soon as I click install it sticks on Downloading File 1 of XX. Since it wasn't limited to Firefox and there is debate on whether ipv6 slows down connectivity, I have disabled it system wide. Also to no avail. I have confirmed this to be so with wired and wireless connections to my router.

I should have poked around a little harder but I remember that I was experimenting with an ssh proxy when a the hotel. Apparently when I setup the proxy settings in Chrome I must have clicked the "set system wide" button and set every browser to browse through the proxy. I even had to enter a password to change that setting. I thought I changed it back after experimenting but apparently I did not. Today I just started my Ubuntu 9.04 laptop to find that I can not browse web pages. I tried multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Epiphany. Each one gives me the same error message:
Epiphany:
"www.google.com" dropped the connection.
The server dropped the connection before any data could be read. The server may be busy or you may have a network connection problem. Try again later.
Firefox:
Connection Interrupted.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
Chrome:
This webpage is not available.
The webpage at [URL] might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
So now most of you are ready to ask me to check my connection using ifconfig etc. But here is the rub: I can download updates, install software using apt-get, ssh, scp, download files with wget, ping web sites and browse the net using the text browser Links (so pretty much everything else works.) I cant figure out what has happened. The last time I used my laptop was this past weekend in a hotel using their wireless and then connecting using a captive portal. And everything worked fine.
My only theory is the hotels captive portal might have messed up something but what that is is beyond me. I tried using both wired and wireless connections and still the same thing. Re booting does nothing. So in order to surf the web I have to use my virtual box Windows XP image. So here I am typing this message in Firefox on windows XP in a virtual machine on my Ubuntu laptop that for some reason will not let me view websites.

I have installed F10 x86_64 on my laptop with the intent of having a few VM guests under qemu/kvm to run test machines for my code while at a week long class. At home, hard wired to the LAN, my DomU's connect the internet just fine. Perhaps not exactly the way i want, but it worked. Now I am at the class and I've had to connect via wireless network. My DomUs CAN resolve URLs to IPs, but I cannot connect to the web to view any basic web pages.
Attached are screeshots showing my

I've just installed Ubuntu with advanced partitions. I'm not able to view my secondary disc space. I've used the command sudo fdisk -l
and this is what I got

I am currently tinkering with my SMB configuration in my home server. My purpose is to enable users in the network to view, browse and edit files I decided to share. However, I would like them to do just plain old connect and open the folders without the server asking them for a username and password.

I own an HP Mini with Ubuntu Netbook Remix, and a Western Digital 500 GB Portable External Hard Drive. I recently started to not be able to view the files on my external, with the message:
Unable to mount the volume 'Elements'.
Details Failed to open $AttrDef: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If you have SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first you must activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for the details. I don't think I have any SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware, and I definitely don't run Windows.

I am trying to configure LAMP stack on RHEL 5.0
These are the versions I am using.
- Apache 1.3.42 from http://apache.oregonstate.edu/httpd/..._1.3.42.tar.gz
- PHP 5.2.13 http://www.php.net/downloads.php
- MYSQL 5.0.90 http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/mysql-5.0.90.tar.gz/
I have configured and installed as per directions successfully, but I am unable to view PHP or HTML webpages. Seems like I am missing some small thing.
These are the details of my LAMP Stack. I have attached my httpd.conf hereby.
Code:
[root@server bin]# hostname
server.red.com
[root@server bin]# grep -v ^# /etc/hosts
192.168.1.10 server.red.com
[Code]...
When, I am trying to view file in Mozilla or IE, it is prompting me to "save to disk" or "open with" options.

I have Zotac MAG (read my personnal review here) with Ubuntu 10.04 freshly updated installed with vnc provided with Synaptic and XBMC. This box replaces an equivalent Win7 box.
Couldn't be happier up until some few days ago. VNC stops refreshing the screen.
Albeit it had never refreshed the screen while XBMC was running, I could quit it with keyboard shortcuts and my desktop would show and applications would "animate".
Since a few days ago, the only thing I get is the first screen, wether it's XBMC or the desktop and that's it. I need to quit and restart my vcn client to get another screen refresh.
I have tried, from my desktop, ultravnc, realvnc and tightvnc on the client side... Using many different connection options. Always with the same results.
I have looked around on this forum as well as on Google, but I am not sure where the problem comes from, thus, what to search for.

I recently upgraded from xubuntu 9.04 to 11.04, and it seems xterm is either incorrectly configured for the new desktop or not working right. After a bit of typing, xterm stops refreshing, and only the first few chars or words are shown until I manually refresh xterm (then, whatever I'd written shows up correctly).
Steps to reproduce
1. Open xterm, basic command prompt shows up
2. Type "hello, this is a test", xterm only shows "hello, th"
3. Press 'ctrl-l' or click outside the xterm window, xterm updates with full "hello, this is a test"
Already tried dpkg-reconfigure with no success.
Attached is the output from "appres XTerm" and "infocmp"

Reading local pdf files with okular.
However, when I visited this site [IMG=http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4708/snapshot1u.png][/IMG](consisting of a pdf file), I am unable to view the site.
Only, upon installing acroread, the site/file is then visible.
Note that BEFORE installing acroread, the site can be viewed with konqueror. [IMG=http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1353/snapshot2hh.png][/IMG]
How can Firefox be configured to view the site without installing acroread?

Somehow I got libjpeg out of my system, and can't get it back working. I have installed jpeg-8b package, applications installed by it work, but not "system-wide" support for jpeg. Eg. I can use "cjpeg", but Eye of Gnome (image viewer) gives me "Unrecognized image file format" error.
Could you please point me to some right solution? Where does Debian look for this library?

I have this weird issue: from time to time (I really cant be more specific, never managed to see a pattern when the problem occurs) the content of open windows is not refreshed until the window is restored and then maximized again. In most cases it is the browser (firefox beta 9), but it is not application specific, because it happens with different applications. I am using the ubuntu 10.10 (kernel 2.6.35-24-generic-pae), compiz(0.8.6) with Nvidia drivers (260.19.06) and X (xorg-server 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.1).

I am having problems with my external hard drive, every time I reboot I have to get on my knees and unplug it from my computer and plug it back in for it to load. There is no power switch on it so i am looking for a way, from the terminal, to reload it.
Using "lsusb" in the terminal I can see:
I heard something about being able to restart a port by the id but can not find anywhere that says how to do this.
Also i was wondering if there is something for Ubuntu like the Perl man pages that just lists all of the commands that a person would use. That would be much preferred to having to look around the Internet every time i need a line of code. And being based on debian would it make sence to look for how to do things in debian if i cant find how to do it in Ubuntu? or will just "in Linux" work?

I'm unable to open and view folders graphically. I click Places -> Home Folder (or any of the other folders, including Computer), and the cursor turns to the spinning "wait" dial, but the folder won't appear. A tab appears in the bottom panel, with the title "opening ZenBeam" (or "opening Desktop" or "Starting Computer", depending on which folder I tried to open) for a few seconds, but then goes away. Left- or Right-clicking on these tabs doesn't give me any options.
This used to work normally, but stopped suddenly a few days ago, following a reboot. I'm guessing it's become corrupted, but I don't know what "it" is. I can navigate in a command line window normally.I have rebooted, and I have run System -> Administration -> Software Update, but that didn't fix the problem.I was going to add the information in System -> About This Computer, but that seems to be having the same problem.What can I do to fix this? What application is failing to run?

I have a physical machine of CentOs-5.4 on which I had installed Xen Virtualization. I have created VMs on that machine using virt-install. After installing all the VMs i used command virt-manager to see all the installed VMs. But after I have restarted my physical machine I am unable to find installed VMs by virt-manager command. It only shows name of the machine and id a qemu and can't see any installed VMs.

I was trying to get my brand new xubuntu install on a Dell Latitutude get going with a kvm switch. I shut down the machine -> connected the kvm cable -> powered it back on and the keyboard/mouse work fine in the login screen, HOWEVER, I just can't get past the login screen, it keeps refreshing the screen even if my authentication is correct.
I unplugged the usb kvm cable, restarted but the problem does not go away.
I can't login to recovery mode (press esc during GRUB load), it doesn't offer any recovery options, goes straight to the login screen.

I own several websites and have always developed on my local Apache server.
I am in the middle of releasing a new product on one of my sites and have been making rapid changes to the site based on feedback from customers, etc. as my product has gone live...
My local server is NOT refreshing pages. I make a change, click "refresh" in my browser and nothing happens.
I have tried clearing my browser cache and it makes no difference. Eventually (several minutes later) my changes happen.
Problem is, I need to be making these changes rapidly, and I really prefer to check my work on localhost before uploading it to a live server where I'm getting a lot of visitors right now.
This is a very recent problem as I have never had this occur before. Running 10.04.

I find it gets stuck at refreshing folder and I have to close it and re-open to get it going again. It did not use to b a problem in the past, we seem to be regressing in its usability since the early versions of ubuntu. I hope someone there knows what the problem is, otherwise have to start experimenting with other email clients, what a pain.
