It’s the little things that can make a big difference…
Case in point, I was noticing that damn my secondary desktop with the fresh Breezy install seemed really slow when I was grabbing updates … like there was something wrong with nameserver resolution.
After three or four incidents, waiting forever for my machine to grab updates, I wondered if it might be possible that I’d mistyped my nameservers when I’d configured networking… sure enough, that was the problem. It hadn’t surfaced when the machine was grabbing network information via DHCP, but after I set the IP address to static and put all the information in by hand, I managed to change the last octet of the first nameserver from 68 to 168. (I wonder sometimes if I’m number-dyslexic or something…)
All better now…
