Solved: Slow network issue in Ubuntu 11.04

I have just upgraded my ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and since then i am facing slow network issue with that, even i am not able to open www.google.com.

I have solved this issue after lots of R&D :).. here is the solution.

Step1: goto console.
Step2: now type sudo iwconfig  it will give below output.

Please note Power management is on.. we just have to switch it off and it will be solved.



nav@nav-pc:~$ sudo iwconfig
[sudo] password for nav: 
lo        no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"Airtel"  
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 00:1B:57:F4:5E:11   
          Bit Rate=36 Mb/s   Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on
          Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-31 dBm  
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:18  Invalid misc:58   Missed beacon:0

Step3: To switch off the power management simply execute this command:

sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

Just verify it once by running command in setp2 you will notice Power management:off in output.

Thats it.. you are ready to go... just open any site in browser and it will be opened smoothly as it was with 10.10 ..

enjoy and must leave comment if you like it... :)

Anna Hazare has been sent to seven days in judicial custody and will be lodged New Delhi‘s in Tihar Jail. Hazare’s supporters Manish Sisodia, Navin Jaisingh, Darshak, Dada Phatare, Suresh Phatare, Kiran Bedi and Khejariwal  have also been sent to judicial custody.

Anna has been sent to Tihar Jail as he refused to sign the bond for not contuning his protest and stop his strike. Earlier he was detained from his house under intention of defy the prohibitory orders in the morning. Now he has been sent to custody for 7 days.

Hazare was arrested under Section 107/51 and appeared before a magistrate to get bail. Hazare and his supporters were taken into custody before he was to proceed to the venue of his fast in JP Park where prohibitory orders are in place.

In reponse to this move of Police now people are demanding their arrest and hundreds of peoples have come out to Delhi Roads and are shouting Slogans of Anna Hazare.
On the other hand when Anna was being sent to the jail he demanded to the peoples of not creating voilence.

Reports are coming that similar Protest moves are happing around the country including Gujart, Orissa etc. Educational institutions are also particiapting in this protest.

Earlier Chidambaram said “If someone says, he would defy prohibitory orders, it is unacceptable in a democracy. Hazare will be produced before a magistrate. Team Anna is free to go to court to challenge the restrictions imposed by police. There is no way to take away Parliament’s right to make law. Our intention is that Parliament should resume its business tomorrow.”

Jaago india jaago.... lets fight for our right......... Vande matram..

Mukesh Ambani could face probe over the construction of his 27-storey luxury home

Country's richest man Mukesh Ambani faces a possible central probe into the construction of his 27-storey luxury home -- one of the most expensive private residences in the world.

The Maharashtra state government is considering whether central investigators should look into alleged irregularities over the sale of the land on which the home was built, media reported on Tuesday.

The Reliance Industries chairman, who according to Forbes magazine is the world's ninth richest man with a $27-billion fortune, moved into the 570-foot (174-metre) tower last year.

" Antilia", on upmarket Altamount Road in south Mumbai, reportedly has six floors of parking, swimming pools, a ballroom, a cinema and three helipads.

Maharashtra Minority Affairs and Wakf minister, Mohammed Arif Naseem Khan, told the state assembly on Monday that the 4,532 square metre (48,782 square foot) plot had originally been reserved for the education of Muslim children.

Wakf in Islamic law is property or land reserved for religious or charitable purposes.

The plot was sold to Ambani by the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Orphanage Trust for Rs 215 million ($4.77 million) in 2002, the minister said.

The deal was approved by the Mumbai Charity Commissioner but the minister said permission was not obtained from the Maharashtra State Wakf Board, which oversees the maintenance and administration of Wakf property and land.

The dispute over the sale -- a widespread problem across the country and particularly in big cities like Mumbai where land is scarce -- has been rumbling since 2004 when the Wakf board asked Ambani why the land should not be returned to the charity.

The opposition leader in the state assembly, Eknath Khadse, of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Monday claimed that the plot was actually worth five billion rupees.

A Reliance Industries spokesman told media that the matter was between the Wakf board and the orphanage and had nothing to do with the company.

Recover deleted files - Pandora Recovery free tool

Pandora Recovery is a free tool that provides an effective way to recover permanently deleted files. Pandora Recovery recovers files removed from Recycle Bin, files deleted using Shift + Delete.

Pandora Recovery very specifically recovers deleted files on drives formatted with the NTFS file system, not the older FAT or FAT32 file systems. If you're running Windows 2000, XP, or Vista, your hard disks almost certainly use NTFS. USB drives and camera memory cards rely on FAT-type file systems, so PR can't help you with those. If you need to rescue deleted photos, you'll want software specifically designed for photo recovery. PR also lacks some advanced features found in the more expensive file recovery tool. But, afterall - it's free :) 

How does it work?

When you delete a file on FAT32 or NTFS file system, its content is not erased from disk but only reference to file data in File Allocation Table or Master File Table is marked as deleted. It means that you might be able to recover deleted files, or make it visible for file system again.

Pandora Recovery allows you to find and recover recoverable deleted files from NTFS and FAT-formatted volumes, regardless of their type - you can recover pictures, songs, movies or documents. Pandora Recovery will scan your hard drive and build an index of existing and deleted files and directories (folders) on any logical drive of your computer with supported file format. Once the scanning is complete you have full control over which files to recover and what destination to recover them to. You can BROWSE the hierarchy of existing and deleted files, or you can use SEARCH functionality to find a deleted file if you remember at least one of the following:
- full or partial file name,
- file size,
- file creation date, or
- file last accessed date

On top of that, Pandora Recovery allows you to preview deleted files of certain type (images and text files) without performing recovery. This feature becomes really important if you are forced to recover deleted files to the same drive. Currently you can preview files having several image file types (BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG, ICO,TIF, TGA, PCX, WBMP, WMF, JP2, J2K, JBG, JPC, PGX, PNM, RAS, CUR) and several text file types (TXT, LOG, INI, BAT, RTF, XML, CSS). Quick Viewer allows you preview file contents as text if it cannot find appropriate viewer for it. To use quick viewer you can select deleted file and or click the Quick Viewer icon or right click on deleted file and select 'Quick View'. Quick View will then display a preview of deleted file. 

Installation Instructions:

To install Pandora Recovery please do the following:

1. Download the Pandora Recovery installer from here.
2. Run the installer on the computer you wish to use to recover the deleted data with. After clicking the link above, simply click RUN or OPEN when the dialog window pops up.

 

3 . Proceed with the installation.
4 . Once installation is complete run the software and follow the wizard to start recovering deleted data.
