Computer extremelly slow

[Victor Mendonça]

Hey Andy,

I tried that and it did not make much difference, computer is still very slow! 

I checked all my logs and I couldn't find anything. Even checked apt and aptitude logs for apps that were installed when I started having the problem and found that nothing was installed at that time.

Any other ideas anyone?

Hi Victor,

It's a bug in DNS and IPV4/6

There are a couple of temporary fixes for that, I use the openDNS fix only
uses 1 file and easy to undo later if you want.

Edit the file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

You’ll see a line commented out (If not add your own)
that says:

“prepend domain-name-servers YOUR_DNS_IP_HERE;”

I uncommented it and added openDNS servers and changes changed it to:

prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220,"YOUR_LOCAL_DNS";

YOUR_LOCAL_DNS = your LAN DNS server IP.

Restart network or PC.

I recommend that everybody does that, speeds all network access in Ubuntu.

Andy
