Sep 11, 2010

Type about:config in Firefox address bar to open the advanced preferences Type network.http.max in the filter field and hit enter Right-click on network.http.max-connections and change the value to 48
At work, we use two very powerful servers to host a series of VMs to do some heavy-lifting analytical work. Part of my job has been to evaluate a variety of different virtualization environments, including changing the host OS (or dom0 kernel for Xen), changing the platform (KVM, Xen, ESXI, etc.), and changing the guest OS types.
I noticed a number of behaviors that Ubuntu exhibited that set it apart (almost always in a positive way) from the other OSes. Most astounding though was that when an Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 server VM was booted from an Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 server host (that is, same version of Host OS and Guest OS) in KVM, the guest boots in roughly 2 seconds. At least, the guest boots faster than the VNC connection can initialize.
I'm certainly not complaining, but I can't for the life of me figure out how this could be possible. I understand that the Upstart init daemon is very good about startup times.
I am interested in running Linux on my Mac Pro (8-core, 24 GB RAM).
What are the main caveats one should expect? Can all hardware be used natively after booting, say Linux or FreebSD? Does Solaris run on this type of machine?
My use case is mostly Mail, instant messaging, web browsing and network simulation (hence this machine) and I value interactivity under full system load the most. How is interactivity under full load in Linux? My experiences with Debian "lenny" showed delays when task switching of up to 1.5 seconds. May I should look at FreeBSD?
did a fresh install of 11.3, running default firefox 3.6.6 with the adobe flash plugin, standard kernel mode setting (kms) video and am getting audio and video play back too fast in sites such as videos. tried setting edit, preferences, applications, flash to "use flash player (default)", does nothing. tried using the nvidia driver, tried updating firefox to 3.6.8, no avail - same thing play back audio and video too fast.
why the file manager, nautilus is it called? can't cope with folders with extremely large numbers of files in it, is there a fix? if not could be a future project for future distributions, i have some folders with 20, 000+ files in it, for rendering fractal animations, i am trying to free up some room, the trash can can't empty it from trash because there are so many files, and when i try to open the folder, it crashes and restarts completely
When I'm trying to login to the ftp server with appropriate username and password its taking almost 10-15 seconds to authenticate making the login process slow, even when I'm uploading files its again hanging for 10-15 seconds before completing the job successfully. Its not like its happening every time, but 7 times out of 10. Any idea how can make the authentication fast?
Does someone know of a tool that can be used to that will produce this result:When navigating to specific URL M-F 8 am to 5 pm any computer will receive an error message or be re-routed to a static site that something such as, "This site is only available during these hours."When navigating to that same URL during the other hours it will work as intended.The function needs to work with no intervention needed to the browsing computer or network.
I have an odd problem loading certain webpages (not all) from the New York Times in Firefox.
If I try to load this for instance:http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/1...-shoes-or-not/ the page will not load and I see the text "Waiting for graphics8.nytimes.com..." in the status bar.
I did a complete reinstallation of Firefox and it worked fine (yesterday). Today the problem is back again.
I tried the page on a friend's computer also running Firefox in Ubuntu and it worked fine.
I tried it in Windows Firefox and it worked fine.
I have the same add-ons/extensions in Windows as I have in Ubuntu and, in any case, I have removed them all once and tried the page with the same non-result. I also noted that the same thing happens if I try to load the page in Google Chrome in Ubuntu.
I'm running 11.2 on a Dell Latitude D630. Everything has been great other than issues with Suspend and hibernate not working correctly. However after about a month of use browsing the web has really slowed down bad. It doesn't seem to matter if it's in Firefox or Chrome either. I am using a wireless connection that is getting the signal at 85-95%. Even though I still tried using a direct cat-5 connection to the router and it was still slow as well. I have the fastest broadband connection my cable offers and my windows boxes on the same network are still flying.
[URL]... I have the some nautilous as is in the image first (1) and i want to make the nautilous as is the most times (i mean as is in the secont image(2).how i can do this? i have install debian 506 in virtual box.(olso tell how to install vbox addition).
My recent issue is that when i start firefox 3.6.7 OS 9.10 is that the terminal will pop up and have this error: (firefox-bin:2690): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times. I can only have firefox running when the terminal is running.If I close the terminal firefox will close as well
Is there any way to make a website for free? I know that you can make websites like [URL]..., but I mean one like [URL]... or .net. Is there any way to make one like that for free?
Seismicmike here. My first post. I'll try to be as clear and concise as possible. For the sake of this post, I'm going to use 1.2.3.4 as a place holder for my public IP. On my web server, I would like to be able to access the /var/ftp directory through a web browser. I have successfully done so with Google Chrome, but I cannot access the directory in Firefox or IE. Both FF and IE ask me for authentication but then time out attempting to load the directory.
I suspect that there may be something up with switching to passive mode and/or that this issue may be more with my configuration of Firefox and not with the server (seeing as how Chrome works). Another possibility may be related to SSL. When I connect with FileZilla, I have to use the FTP over Explicit SSL/TLS option in order to connect. In any case I still would like to fix it. I would also like to avoid having to install FireFTP if at all possible.
Steps to reproduce (not that you can without my actual IP =J):
* Open Chrome * Go to ftp://1.2.3.4 * Enter username * Enter password
I like to download the source. I never had like the 1 click install. It no fun. It take out all the fun to install. I know that nVidia is way better for linux. But having a integrated nvidia 6100. Kinda make my keyboard crash at times. I ask my friend parent. And they said they give me there for FREE. So here I am with a Radeon X700 PRO (RV410) (PCIE). I have a x32 bit computer ^.^ and 11.2. But I'm having trouble finding good info on install the driver. So I can used it to play games and such. So I'm asking is, to hit me up with everything I'm going to need to install this right.
I'm relatively new to ubuntu. I want to run ubuntu alongside my windows partition. I have shrunk the volume that leaves me 50 gb of free space for ubuntu. Will the system automatically set the system and mount volume sizes? If not can I have some tips on manually using the 50 gb to set it up.
since ubuntu's decided that firefox needs to have their strange and weird theme for the buttons... what's the easiest way to remove this new way that it decides that the button configuration for when you want to close it and other things? I cannot seem to find this file, and i've already tried to delete my .mozilla file and i've installed swiftfox and it's using it. So where in the world did the Ubuntu UI people put this thing at?
My wireless seems to be fast for a good 30secs then bang takes good while to load the next page almost as if it's disconnecting and then reconnecting/scanning reconnecting. Why cant it stay connected. I have WAP PSK security here is my network setting please let me know if I should change any of them:(side not is there a way to fix this problem occuring so frequently it says on the wiki that it should only occur once in a whilce https:[url].....
I just installed 10.10 (2.6.35-24-generic) and my wired network connection is cutting out. I'm dual booting with Windows 7, and it works fine over there. I'm confident it's not a hardware issue. It works initially, but after a few minutes (this varies) the connection will drop out. If I'm on Firefox, I'll get "Loading" until the connection times out. If I'm using RDP to a local computer, I'll lose the connection. When it happens, if I ping a local computer, I'll get:
[Code]....
So I'm getting a bunch of packet loss. Some of the time, once the packets do start going through again, Firefox will finish loading the page. Other times, I have to click on network manager and click on "Auto eth0" which will give me the "connection established" message, and kick the network card back into gear. Sometimes I have to do this several times. It never shows as disconnected, but this somehow gets it going again.
How can i download free pen drive virus scanner? I need good one? Most of computer gets attacked by viruses through flash drives or usb drives or pendrives. If we can scan and delete it before using it we can make our computer safe.
When I try to install Ubuntu, it freezes at the screen where it asks you to make sure if your PC has 4.4GB of free storage, etc. I tried installing from a CD, a USB stick... same results. What can be the cause of the problem ?
i am following the installation process and its very unclear whether or not a dual boot will occur and how i can make a partition of the free space available from my windows partition etc....i dont want to go through the process and find myself losing all my data and my windows partition i also cant seem to select a partition less than 86% of the total capacity of hdd so im def sure they're not taking my dual boot desires into consideration.
Installing 11.2 from KDE LiveCD on an IBM ThinkCenter with 3.2Gb CPU and 1Gb RAM. Ubuntu 9.04 on first two partitions. I go through the configuration, click to 'install': Install display bars remain blank. After 2-3 minutes, black screen with scroll of attempted installation pieces and the error message: "Respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 min." Freeze.
Other posts mention problem with init. But this is happening with the install so not able to address that. No apparent md5chksum for LiveCDs. No mention of this problem in installation help guide. Does anyone know how to deal with this? If you need more info, I will provide. Though it seems this is not an unusual problem when booting an installed system, there's no mention of it happening during installation.
During playing around sources, synaptic playing I messed up the default list. I know I should have been more careful. Anyways could someone tell me what the default the default sources.list that has free and non free etc for squueze please? I have been trying to get the default list but I cannot find it anywhere. There are alot of lists out there but nothing tagged like the "default" list.
I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.
I have the firefox 4 beta, and after reading the new ui is only on windows, i was disappointed, but then came across this article and it shows firefox like this how can I make firefox look like this? Ive followed the directions on the page, but that didnt work :/
Am I asking too much for a FREE OS? Everybody spend their precious time to help others, that's very helpful.But it seems like there is no support from UBUNTU team,how could we even get through the barrier of not using Microsoft's OSes? No free lunch of course, but it seems to me some issues have never really been solved.I read lot's of people have problem with their WIFI, not just for my OLD USB wifi adapter. I don't have problem with WIFI in XP/Server.
I posted here and there, and seems like no answer, and I do not get any reply from UBUNTU support team,forgive me if I run out of google's keywords.I just need a simple answer, is my WIFI going to work in UBUNTU with a layman effort? I like linux and UBUNTU had put great effort in providing me such a great OS, but if a basic internet connection will need to spent sooo much time to setup, and it still doesn't work. IS IT WORTH to switch to UBUNTU at all
