The solution is to use a working DNS server. A couple of ways to accomplish this: - use your ISP DNS servers directly - use OpenDNS or a similar provider - local caching resolver: put 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver (/etc/resolv.conf) and install pdns-recursor
The latter can be done per default in Ubuntu and would always work and require no setting changes. The only negative side-effect is that the caching effect of DNS might be less used, but then again, most sites use DNS loadbalancing now, thus this is a non-issue. -- [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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
