[photoworks]

I have installed mandrake 10.1 community (fresh install) and now i have some issues with it

 

- flashplayer6 is not recognized in Konqueror and i cannot install flashplayer 7

- Mozilla 1.2.7 is very slow displaying websites such as netscape.net or some forum websites (with konqueror or browsers on windows, work fine)

I cant help ya with the flashplayer other then adding that i managed to install it correctly. I am using Mozilla-firefox as browser btw.

 

With regard to your slow response this might have to do with IPv6 enabled. Ivan McCann has posted how to disable it. This is how he tackled it:

 

Ok, I had this problem. I have fixed it (at least for now) by turning off IPV6 support.

To verify you have IPV6 on, run ifconfig and look for `ipv6` on your main network interface.

To turn it off, su to root and edit /etc/modprobe.conf

Add this line at the bottom of the file:

 

alias net-pf-10 off

 

Save, sync and reboot nicely. Yeah, I know its a windows kinda thing to do, but:

 

service network restart

 

does not appear to do the trick. You are welcome to try. <IMG SRC="images/splatt_forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">

 

Once rebooted, my browsing sped up immensely. I watched my workstations network output and it appeared that my system was doing multiple IPV6 requests before using IPV4.  Removing IPV6 has improved my life. <IMG SRC="images/splatt_forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">  Its not a good long term solution, however. I will be watching for a proper fix.

 

Hope this helps.
