This is still an issue. What do you mean by inactivity? I thought you (Kubuntu) were better suited to discuss and find out the best solution and I thought the KDE guy who actually wrote the http/Dns code opinion and suggestion to use a dns cache should be enough arguments.
If you dont want dns cache deamon then fine by me, but I think Kubuntu should provide some easy way for users to speed up their environment. Like in a GUI for KDE_NO_IPV6 or something I recently had problems with nscd, it shutdown unexpectedly, and instantly my browsing went from feeling quite fast to beeing slow as a dog. even google took 4-5 seconds to load I googled up another solution http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/02/local-dns-cache-for-faster-browsing/ Webpages of today usually contains a lot of external references, layout images, css files, scripts ordinary images etc. without a DNS cache Kioslaves sends a DNS lookup request for EACH and EVERY one of those resources, combine that with a DNS that doesnt support IPV6 and you have a recipe for a very slow environment. -- Kubuntu should include nscd DNS cache deamon by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
