Re: [ubuntu-uk] Karmic networking broken
2009/10/26 John Levin technola...@gmail.com: Hi, I'm trying out karmic, and the networking seems to be broken on both my Lenovo N500 laptop and VMWare Fusion virtual machine atop of OS X Snow Leopard. It claims to be connected, and I can log into my router, but cannot get anything through firefox, thunderbird, synaptic etc. The hardware test claims to be able to touch the net. Can anyone help with diagnosing these problems? TIA John Reboot, press ESC to bring up the GRUB menu, press e to edit the kernel line, add ipv6.disable=1 (no quotes) to the end of the line that ends quiet splash. Press Ctrl-X to boot. Congrats, you've just disabled IPV6 globally - is that any better? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Do I have to disable ipv6 somewhere else as well? TIA John -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Hi, I'm trying out karmic, and the networking seems to be broken on both my Lenovo N500 laptop and VMWare Fusion virtual machine atop of OS X Snow Leopard. It claims to be connected, and I can log into my router, but cannot get anything through firefox, thunderbird, synaptic etc. The hardware test claims to be able to touch the net. Can anyone help with diagnosing these problems? TIA John I also had similar problems. Disabled IPv6 in Firefox. It's very bad that this bug is present so close to release. I hope that this is sorted before Thursday. Personally I have found Karmic to be pretty much unusable on both machines I tested it on. :-( Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
