Full Circle Issue 7: Q&A
Written by Robert Clipsham
Since I upgraded to the Gutsy Gibbon I have only been able to access websites by using their IP addresses, and anything else Internet related won't work - why is this?
A There are several simple ways to solve this. The easiest one is just to disable ipv6, which can be done by doing 'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' in a terminal (kdesu kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist in KDE), then adding 'blacklist ipv6' to the end of the file. Restart your PC and ipv6 will be disabled. Look at the link below to find other ways to solve this.

Can Ubuntu use more than 4GB of RAM?
A If you want to use more than 4GB of RAM in Ubuntu you need to download the 64 Bit version. When on the download page you need to choose the '64bit AMD and Intel computers' option.

I'm running the server edition of Ubuntu, but need a GUI. How can I install one?
A Use 'sudo aptitude install' followed by ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop, depending on which user interface you want. You will also need to install gdm (Gnome) or kdm (KDE).

I would like to learn some basic commands in Linux. Are there any good sites for this?
A The Ubuntu help site has a good guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal, which will show all the basic commands for using a terminal in Ubuntu. There is also a more general guide at http://linuxcommand.org/ which applies to all distributions.
