It looks like your download speed is capping out at around 750 Kb/s.

When you do an identical download using the LiveCD is your download speed also capped out at 750Kb/s ??

Nice graph! How did you do that?


Yes, I think you are going to do a new installation of 10.04. Whatever you did with Firestarter and port forwarding and Masquerading, over the past 4 years, has caused some problem and I don't know how we would ever figure out which tweak was the bad tweak at this point.

He installed the network plasmoid on his desktop and set it to show only the eth0 port. When only a single setting is used the graph of activity looks like that.

Cool! I might try that just to see what it looks like on my end.

Here's what it looks like on my notebook:

Re: How stable is Alpha 3?

you can see the problem in the left area when the network hangs for a while. I notice that when the network hangs i cant go and to router ip. I think i am one step before new installation and this is the last time after this years for alpha upgrade.

Have the Daily Build Downloading now @ work. Once I get in I'll burn it and try it on my laptop. If all seems even better, then Woo Hoo I will install. My laptop did SOOOOOO much better under Lucid Alpha 3. I hope it doesn't change.

Re: How stable is Alpha 3?

Ok maybe i have found a solution for my problem. The problem finally seems to be from ipv6 and this bug

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lu...bc/+bug/417757

i have disable the ipv6 with this command

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6

and i have edit the /etc/rc.local file and write there the command.
This seems to be work for me and the net connections is ok now. Questions..

Is there a better way or command to disable ipv6?
Do i have to report to launchpad this bug?

This one is among the plasmoids by default >systemservices > System - network

As for alpha3 I haven't had any major trouble since the xorg (was it?) trouble in late alpha1, any other trouble more then minor has been self inflicted for educational purpose Hardly any desktop crashes anymore either ( I keep the karmic install as a safety line tho, not as bold as GG )

Re: How stable is Alpha 3?

So it is not network plasmoid

This one is among the plasmoids by default >systemservices > System - network

Thank you for that.

Re: How stable is Alpha 3?

Same experience here.
Almost all issues or troubles were created by my tinkering, though there are a few Lucid made things that need fixing.
I am using LL as working OS with an up-to-date backup of Karmic and data on a separate drive that can be accessed from both operating systems - just in case.

Re: How stable is Alpha 3?

Flawless... I mean, seriously the best Kubuntu yet. Running mine on on an older ibm thinkpad t43. 1.6 GHz Celeron with 2 GB ram. Januty was "ok" Karmic as a bit faster.

Lucid: I feel like I got a new PC. Even with desktop effects enabled (minus a few animations), it still is snappy and crisp. Boot time? Poof... up and running in well under a minute.

Occasionally an app will crash. Occasionally.

And GTK apps look like they belong on the desktop. That always bugged me. I like banshee for ipod support, but never liked how it looked. Now one would never know it is a "non native" app.
