It opened after 10 or 15 minutes gap when refreshed. Changing the dns in netgear wifi modem to google dns, verisign dns, open dns or auto obtain dns did not solve the problem. Atlast found out that Wifi Network MTU size Automatic as default was causing this request time out. Now after putting a MTU size value manually for wifi network lower than the MTU size value configured in wifi modem, all the above webpages opens. Presently using Ubuntu 16.10 Kindly make auto MTU size setting for wifi network to first probe mtu size of wifi modem and set a slightly lower value thant that as MTU. Reporting this to make Ubuntu user friendly even for newbies. I am using Ubuntu for more than 6 years. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: uppili 3239 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=1a2523c8-4df7-4ab7-85df-e2625f8fdad7 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-18 (1075 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MachineType: Gateway NE56R Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.8.0-27-generic root=UUID=d4d1be7d-bc6a-473d-a3c1-a159453959cf ro splash plymouth:debug=1 quiet vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-27.29-generic 4.8.1 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.8.0-27-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.8.0-27-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.161 Tags: yakkety Uname: Linux 4.8.0-27-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm audio cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev pulse pulse-access sambashare sudo video _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 10/09/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Gateway dmi.bios.version: V1.13 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: EG50_HC_HR dmi.board.vendor: Gateway dmi.board.version: Type2 - Board Version dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Gateway dmi.chassis.version: V1.13 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnGateway:bvrV1.13:bd10/09/2012:svnGateway:pnNE56R:pvrV1.13:rvnGateway:rnEG50_HC_HR:rvrType2-BoardVersion:cvnGateway:ct10:cvrV1.13: dmi.product.name: NE56R dmi.product.version: V1.13 dmi.sys.vendor: Gateway To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1643581/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
