<p>Now and again I’ve been experiencing poor performance in GNOME. Looking for a solutionI have found this tip <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=388765"> here </a>. It really works at leat for me.</p> <p>Edit your /etc/hosts file:</p> <pre class="astro-code catppuccin-frappe" style="background-color:#303446;color:#c6d0f5; overflow-x: auto;" tabindex="0" data-language="sh"><code><span class="line"><span style="color:#8CAAEE;font-style:italic">$</span><span style="color:#A6D189"> sudo</span><span style="color:#A6D189"> gedit</span><span style="color:#A6D189"> /etc/hosts</span></span></code></pre> <p>You should see something like that:</p> <pre class="astro-code catppuccin-frappe" style="background-color:#303446;color:#c6d0f5; overflow-x: auto;" tabindex="0" data-language="text"><code><span class="line"><span>127.0.0.1 localhost</span></span> <span class="line"><span></span></span> <span class="line"><span>127.0.1.1 basetta-laptop</span></span></code></pre> <p>Now write on the first line your hostname (my hostname is basetta-laptop).</p> <pre class="astro-code catppuccin-frappe" style="background-color:#303446;color:#c6d0f5; overflow-x: auto;" tabindex="0" data-language="text"><code><span class="line"><span>127.0.0.1 localhost basetta-laptop</span></span> <span class="line"><span></span></span> <span class="line"><span>127.0.1.1 basetta-laptop</span></span></code></pre> <p>Now Save.</p> <p><strong>Explanation why</strong></p> <blockquote> </blockquote> <p>This is a fix for the new system that was started back in edgy where the host name was split off to 127.0.1.1, the problem is that some applications still look for the host name @ 127.0.0.1, so to keep those applications happy and running smoothly you simple need to add the host name where those applications expect it to be.</p>
