Fresh install is really in bad shape; which repos to enable?

English Network/Internet
#1

FF is slower than IE, I can’t got a repo connection for updates, even gettin’ rid of beagle was problematic (if it is deleted…), and I can’t keep a public radio stream.

I shut it down, and loaded Ubuntu cause FF just locked up on me.

Which repos should be enabled? Which should I disable? Anything else I can clean out?

It ain’t gonna’ work the way it is now…

Have you fixed the IPV6 problem?

#3

Yast → Network Devices → Network Settings → Global → IPv6 = No → reboot. Might help, won’t hurt.

Luck

IPv6 is un-abled; I went back in and checked after re-boot.

I haven’t done enough browsing yet to notice any decrease in page load times.

How about repositories? Right now I got this:

URL: Index of /distribution/11.1/repo/non-oss
URL: Index of /distribution/11.1/repo/oss
URL: Index of /update/11.1
URL: Index of /debug/distribution/11.1/repo/oss
URL: Index of /source/distribution/11.1/repo/oss

All are enabled, the last 2 are also ‘autorefresh’.

How do I log on to check updates? I don’t see a ‘check for updates’ in Synaptic GUI…

Thanks…

You don’t need the debug or the source – can remove them. The others should autorefresh. You should add Packman autorefresh and if you have special driver needs like Nvidia add those. I added Videolan.

#6

If you run the command: top, in a console window, you can study the running processes and the resource consumption.

#7

Page load is MUCH faster now.

I don’t know if it was the v6 protocol, or beagle, or both…

Good JOB!

Copy on debug and source repos/disable.
