I like to read the Trailerlife forum. Some days it loads quick but most days it times out it is so slow. It only has the problem with openSuse. I am running Kubuntu on a old computer and the site is very fast as it is on windows xp, yet when I go back to openSuse it is very slow at best. Any ideas?

Hiya,
If after disabling ipv6 it’s still slow you could try this (see link below)
which worked for the TPL’s botched up proxy configuration:

> Any ideas?
my idea are the same as they were in April and July of this year when
you asked about the same site…
however, since you say it works fine with Kubuntu you must therefore
believe there is a bug in openSUSE’s implementation–so, you ought to
file a bug report on it so it can be fixed for all of us…
http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports
until it is fixed (i’m pretty sure you have waited FAR too long to get
the fix into 11.2) you will just read in Kubuntu or XP…

Platinum,
You seem to be a negative person who likes to put down people who are not very experienced in Lunix. It would be people like you who would cause some people to give up on Linux.
I am 65 years old and far from a computer expert and I am still trying to work out the problem. If you can not help someone why not keep to yourself. After all we all can not be experts in everthing as you seem to be. Most of us also do not seem to enjoy putting down people such as you. Get a life.
> You seem to be
then, what i am and what i seem to be to you are two very different
things…
sorry you didn’t like my style…

Kevin’s fix made it ZOOM to life here!!
i don’t understand it (see cites below), but perhaps the openSUSE
hackers could consider that kludge as part of the default
install…(i’ve put it in my saved bag of tricks)
once i got the site working took a look and found that their “Forum
Technical Support” is aware of the problem and know how to fix it on
the Linux user’s end (a different way than what Kevin posted, which i
does work here…i didn’t try the trailerlife solution):

i guess the poster with the problem here could have asked there and
had a quick answer…

Interesting – it times out or takes minutes to load the front page for me in both Ubuntu 9.04 and openSUSE 11.1
The Toronto Public Lib fix by yu210148 works in Ububtu, but I didn’t try it in openSUSE.
I am sorry if I sound dumb but it is a long time since I have used a terminal and try as I might it will not work when I type in the Toronto work around. Help please.
I have got it to open fast by using the Toronto workaround but I still can not get it to open /etc/sysctl.conf. It keeps coming back permission denied.
Run a superuser file editor. Open a console/terminal window and run this command:
- Gnome use: gnomesu gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
- KDE use: kdesu kwrite /etc/sysctl.conf
Do the edit and do file → save → exit
Hi
You need to be super-suer (root);
sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf
or
gnomesu gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
or
kdesu kate /etc/sysctl.conf

@malcom – kate? you old reactionary 
My excuse… I haven’t used KDE as a full time DE since 10.0, I shudder

I can get into the edit site but when I type in net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0 it comes back command not found. I must be doing something wrong but what?
open a terminal window and run one of the two commands:
If you use KDE run this:
kdesu kwrite /etc/sysctl.conf
if you use Gnome run this:
gnomesu gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
Does that open a file with contents similar to this:
# Disable response to broadcasts.
# You don't want yourself becoming a Smurf amplifier.
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1
# enable route verification on all interfaces
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# enable ipV6 forwarding
#net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
# increase the number of possible inotify(7) watches
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536
# avoid deleting secondary IPs on deleting the primary IP
net.ipv4.conf.default.promote_secondaries = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries = 1
add this line to the end as a new, separate line:
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
save and exit
reboot
Thankyou,
I may not be a computer wiz but with help I am willing to try things. It now works great. openSUSE is my primary os and this fix makes it even better. Again thanks a lot.
glad for you
