Its a real shame for this issue to not have a solution implemented even after 8+ years of raising the issue.
Today I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 15.10 on my HP laptop, and after installation opened firefox and found that it was taking extremely long time for even the google page to come up. It has nothing to do with my internet connection as I have a good fast internet connection. I was not even able to search for a solution. I have experienced this before and many friends for whom I installed Ubuntu and derivatives like elementary used to share the similar bad experience. Is it possible to get this fix implemented with ubuntu default installation? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94940 Title: mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/94940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
