I have a ton of these old messages if you'd like me to forward them to you off-list. Let me know.
The long and the short of it is, the xserver runs out of RAM, usually from storing uncompressed images in memory. If you're non-k12ltsp, you can delay (but not eradicate) the problem by specifying USE_NBD_SWAP=y and SWAPFILE_SIZE=128m in lts.conf I use K12LTSPv6, so I also have a /etc/sysconfig/ltspswapd that configures the service, while /etc/init.d/ltspswapd starts/stops the swap managing. The contents of /etc/sysconfig/ltspswapd are: LTSPSWAPD_FILEPATH=/var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles/ # LTSPSWAPD_PORTNUM=9210 LTSPSWAPD_SWAPSIZE=128m -Michael Rob Owens wrote: > In the past there's been discussion about these old Dells with the i810 > on the K12LTSP mailing list.
