Using OPEN DNS FOR FASTER WEB BROWSING....

Open DNS server, is the #1 DNS service provider around the world. OpenDNS is FREE and do not require you  to download anything. Moreover, it will not replace your existing Internet connection it will just make it better. Also, OpenDNS offers some other free services. For more information about OpenDNS please visit the official home page.

Here is what you must do. Please back up your DNS addresses before replacing them with the ones from OpenDNS, in case you want to return to them later for whatever  reason. The DNS server addresses for OpenDNS are:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

If you have a static IP address that you must manually configure in order to have Internet access, please use the following method.

Open a console and type:

CODE

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

and add the following lines, above the existing lines in that file:

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
For Dynamic IP address (DHCP)


If you are using a dynamic IP address (DHCP), that means you get your Internet  IP address, subnet mask, DNS and gateway automatically from your ISP's DHCP server, please follow the instructions below:

Open a console and type:

CODE

sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

Replace the line that says:

#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

HOW TO FIX WMID DEVICES!!! ERROR ON YOUR NETBOOK...

This tutorial will help you on how to fix Acer-wmi unable to detect available WMID devices error on UBUNTU NETBOOK and all Operating System run by UBUNTU

The error appears on most of NETBOOKS build by Acer, like as Acer Aspire One or Acer eMachines, after a system update.

This bug has been tested with the Easy Peasy 1.6 and Ubuntu NETBOOK Remix 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) operating systems. After the installation there seems to be no problems at all, and everything works perfectly . But, if the end user updates the machine, after a reboot, the above issue will appear on your screen..


The "acer-wmi: unable to detect available WMID devices" error is very annoying because it will also break your boot splash screen. So, if you are one of those who instead of looking at a nice splash screen while your NETBOOK reboots Ubuntu, get the "acer-wmi: unable to detect available WMID devices" error, follow the next steps to get it fix.


- Hit the ALT+F2 key combination;
- On the "Run Application" dialog that is going to appear, make sure you check the "Run in terminal" option;

Type this following command:

gksu echo blacklist acer-wmi | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-acer-wmi.conf

- Click the "Run" button to execute the above command.


After this, a terminal window will appear and you will be asked for your password. Input the password, hit Enter, and the terminal window should dissapear instantly, and everything should be taking care of!!!!


What will this fix do? it will blacklist acer-wmi and you will no longer see the "acer-wmi: unable to detect available WMID devices" error! From now on, your NETBOOK should reboot the operating system in a normally way, without any issues , and  you should see the nice splash screen.
