After months of testing, I made our edubuntu thin client system live and it froze ... twice... and I can't figure out why.
We're using Edubuntu 7.10. We're running a dell poweredge, 2.8ghz p4 (I'm sure it's a 2.something p4), 1gb ram, raid 1 array of 200GB+ with 5 clients (1ghz p3, 256MB ram). All 10/100 network equipment. When any of the clients boot and log in, it's fast...so nice and fast. But after the system has been running a few hours and students begin to use it (and I'm not there). It freezes hard. I *think* it freezes hard b/c I haven't tested pinging it when it's down. But it doens't reply to anything including ctrl-alt-bkspace, or ctrl-alt-f1. And I know the /var/log/messages file stops creating --MARK-- entries during this time. When I find it frozen, there is video, but no response to mouse or keyboard. In our tests, we only experimented with 1 client. Could 5 clients create too much demand on our server? I recently installed the ssl update and rebuilt the images...could I have done something wrong there? And one more detail: we're posting our username-password info per computer...it's conceivable that one user might be getting signed in more than once. Would that do it? Or how about using Adobe Flash 9? thx so much, -peter Bard High School Early College NY, NY -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
