Clients Freezing in 7.04 when Tuxpaint, Tuxmath or Gcompris are running.

[kevin smith]

I have now been able to verify that tuxpaint, opened from gCompris on either
of the 2 kids machines freeze the clients.  I am able to  restart x with
<ctrl><alt><Backspace>.  If I start Tuxpaint with a terminal comand, I get
the tuxpaint splash screen, but then the client freezes (from gCompris, the
splash screen never apears.)  Tuxmath runs painfully slow from either of the
kids terminals.  I tried it from one of the adult machines (running on a new
IO corporation proedge thin client) and performance was much better.

Sound does not seem to be working on either terminal.  I know that sound was
working previously.  I aslo got a Gnome Settings Daemon error when booting
the clients.  When I restarted x, they logged in with no error.

I haven't run the test you suggested yet, but I will in the next few hours.

The 2 kids stations are identical Gateway E-4400 machines with ATI Rage 128
cards (64 mb AGP) and 128 megs of RAM

I tried rebooting the server to se if any of the sluggishness would improve.
 It got to the msg Activating swapfile swap and got stuck.  I found this
thread <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551976>, so did
<CTRL><ALT><DEL> and was able to boot the server.  Perhaps I should start a
new thread with this problem?  I suspect that this was somehow caused be me
trying to install Gutsy along side Fiesty on this machine.  The installation
failed, and it seems that I must have hosed my swap partition?

Wow.... it looks like I have screwed things up royally, I hope you all can
help me.

Thanks so much,

Kevin
