Package: tuxmath
Hi Holger
Not sure of the versions involved. This seems to be a long standing
bug (from googling around) that has only recently been submitted as a
bug. Affects all three tux4kids programs. There is a suggestion that
it is SDL related, but I've read that Google Earth works fine (which
is bound to use SDL).

https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2161843&group_id=66938&atid=516295
Tuxpaint sourgeforge bug.
---------------
Ubuntu 8.04.2
latest tuxpaint and tux suite apps... but it happens on all of them
since at least a year...
gigabit network... its definitely not the network... as even google
earth and video streaming work fine without bringing as many computers
down.
We see the slow down on our dual xeon processor server with 16 gigs of
ram with only 10-15 users starting up the tux suite. Its the most
dramatic slow down and freeze of any software on the thin client
systems, and we're trying to figure out why.
here is a related bug post:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.ubuntu.user.edubuntu/2007-12/msg00182.html
I can test some other non tux4kids SDL stuff if you like, but I know
gcompris and childsplay work much better... Over the next couple days
I'll try running a bunch of other SDL stuff and see how it fares
compared to tux4kids stuff...
anyway here are the version numbers:
tuxpaint: 1:0.9.17-1ubuntu3
tuxmath: 1.5.8-2
tuxtyping: 1.5.15.dfsg1-3ubuntu1
If you need anything else, let me know
Kind Regards,
David Van Assche

This has been an issue since Gutsy (7.10). I recall talking with one of
the developers a long time ago, he seemed to see something pretty basic
as to at least speed things up a *bit* that had to do with SDL
refreshing or something (it's been a LONG time so forgive me if I'm
wrong).
HTH,

Has there been any progress on this.
I have the same problem.
Set up a ltps server running Ubunti 8.04.1 (With the Edubuntu add-ons) on a
dual xeon 2.5GHz server.
When I boot up just 1 thin client (IBM Netvista 300MHz w/128MB RAM) I can
run everything else acceptable Firefox / open office / etc.. but when I
launch TuxMath it grinds to a halt and uses 100% of one processor on the
server. We have a dedicated 100Mb network.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Caroline,
I'm sorry, but I'm closing this bug.
You speak of ubuntu ltsp, of ubuntu sdl and ubuntu tux*. This bug might affect
debian or might not. Please confirm it does, before filing bugs against
debian packages.
That said, I do very much appreciate your efforts to report bugs in Debian!(!)
I guess the bug might indeed be sdl related/caused, even though as you say,
some sdl programs work flawlessly. But not each programm using sdl uses all
sdl features in the same way...
Also, you should try to reproduce the bug with the latest sdl packages (and
other packages, the tuxtype and tuxmath versions are also outdated and there
have been a lot of changes recently), afaik gutsy is not the latest...
regards,
Holger
