speed up internet, disable ipv6 & use dnsmasq. any other tweaks?
I have installed dnsmasq (a dns caching service) and also disabled ipv6 on my ubuntu machine and have found that things are significantly faster. I however wonder if there is anything else i can do to make things quicker?
How to update glib2 from local rpms? [Fedora 8]
location: linuxquestions.com - date: December 1, 2009
Hi,
I'm running Fedora 8, where the currently installed version of glib2
is glib2-2.14.2-1.fc8.i386. For a piece of software that I'm
compiling, I need glib2 >= 2.15. Since an updated glib2 is not
available for Fedora 8, I downloaded glib2-2.16.3-5.fc9.src.rpm for
Fedora 9 and rebuilt it, which resulted in the following rpms:
glib2-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm
glib2-debuginfo-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm
glib2-devel-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm
glib2-static-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm
Now how do I go about installing these?
1) I tried yum in this directory:
> sudo yum localinstall glib2-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm
Setting up Local Package Process
Examining glib2-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm: glib2 - 2.16.3-5.fc8.i386
Marking glib2-2.16.3-5.fc8.i386.rpm as an update to glib2 -
2.14.2-1.fc8.i386
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package glib2.i386 0:2.16.3-5.fc8 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: glib2 = 2.14.2-1.fc8 for package: glib2-

Any way to globally disable IPv6 Jaunty?
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: April 9, 2009
Yeah, i see IPv6 is built into the kernel so blacklisting IPv6 is useless.
I don't really feel like compiling my own damn kernel every time so I can have decent download speeds (I'm getting less than half speed 80KB/s!)
Considering Ubuntu targets user friendliness, this isn't a good start to 9.04
Any way around this? Or am i having to pack my bags back to Windows

disable ipv6 DNS queries
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: February 3, 2011
i'm on a local network with ubuntu servers and clients only. recently, network connections started to take very long to respond. i found out that DNS resolution would first send an ipv6 (AAAA) query, wait for the timeout, and only then send an ipv4 (A) query to the server.
none of my DNS servers have an ipv6 address and there are no ipv6 entries for the DNS server.
i configured my machine not to use ipv6 (in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”ipv6.disable=1") but the problem still remains!
in know how to turn ipv6 queries off in firefox and ssh, but i would like to have a global way that tells all applications not to use ipv6 DNS queries. is there a way to do that? and how is this done?
(this is all for ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx LTS)
HowTo: Disable IPV6 to speed up Internet.
location: ubuntuforums.com - date: November 9, 2005
Hello all,
During today's Dapper development updates one of the packaes wanted to replace the /etc/modporbe.d/aliases file. Yes or No?
Normally I would say No to keep my confuguration but it mentioned "to keep the developers additions". So I say, Yes replace it.
I knew this was the file that would trun IPV6 back on and so I had to change it again after re-boot.
Well, I guess I forgot how to do that (format wise) but after entering several forms I thot the net had sped up some but it was still stalling and slugish at the end of a web page load, as if it had to wait for a done signal.
I thoht I would re-boot and see if there was a difference. Sure enough the network is responding a top speed now.
So here are the changes I put in with the orginal comment out.
But the re-boot is required.
alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
#alias net-pf-10 ipv6
IPV6 slows down the IPV4 environment if the router out the door does not understand
