All internet programs ver slow?

[natman]

Hi,
All of my internet stuff ( thunderbird, kopete, ..) are all very slow since i installed Karmic. I can fix the problem in firefox by turning ipv6 off but how do i fix it for the rest of my kubuntu?

I have "patched" my problem, sorry i should have searched the boards better before posting -sorry again. My problem has something to do with my router/ISP not liking ipv6 so patch was this
Re: How to disable ipv6 in karmic?
Edit /etc/default/grub
add ipv6.disable=1 between "" at the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
run command update-grub

I think all i have done it disable an option in the kernel at boot up, is what i have done dangerous in any way?

No.

I actually need to do this as well globally.

But I can't figure out how to actually get into it to do it... Damn I hate being a newbie sometimes.

Been there, done that!

Every time we try something new we become newbies!

In the 40 years I programmed I was a newbie more times than I could count. I used Linux for eleven years before I switched to Kubuntu... Except for the trivial number of console commands I knew, It was like starting all over again. "What's sudo?", I thought. Apt-get? Where is xorg.conf?
How can the video configure without xorg.conf?

Switching from KDE3 to KDE4 was a big leap. Very little of what I knew about how to manage KDE3.5 applied to KDE4.x.

All in all, switching to Kubuntu, sudo, apt-get and KDE 4.3.3 has given me the best desktop I have ever run since I bought an Apple ][+ in the summer of 1978. That includes the VISTA Home Premium that I blew off this notebook when I installed Kubuntu in February. Fast, beautiful and sleek.... I think I'm in love! 8) 8) 8)
