I disabled ipv6 in firefox, and lspci indicates ipv6 is turned off in karmic. The problem still persists in the case that I'm using a linksys router as the DNS relay. If the router is removed from the DNS list, everything speeds up.
Before anyone tells me to get a new router, this problem didn't occur in Jaunty, just Karmic, and I've done everything possible to confirm that IPV6 is disabled on my machine. So it's one of two things: 1) Karmic uses a different library than Jaunty to do DNS lookups, and that library has introduced some kind of bug (I'm guessing it's a sequence of queries, not just one since it takes a few minutes of very slow surfing before the router gives up entirely) 2) Karmic is lying about ipv6 being disabled and is insisting on using it anyway. I attempted to report this as a separate bug because I completely eliminated IPV6 from being the culprit, but here we are. -- [karmic regression] all network apps / browsers suffer from multi-second delays by default due to IPv6 DNS lookups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
