RE: KDE freeze on sarge
Hmmm,
Well, it was just taking a REALLLLLY long time to do thing, no actual
lockup as such. I did have no loopback, which incidentally caused
problems with my digital tv card streaming, but I still had the problem
after I configured the loopback. Having said that I am new at all this
so I guess it's possible that loopback was still not working correctly.
I'll have to thoroughly test the RAM I guess.
Interestingly, I still have problems with playback of mpg video files in
xine. It's VERY slow, like slow motion. I have the latest ATI driver
installed and everything else seems ok. Are there things I can try to
improve this performance?
Thanks again.

Freezes forever, or just takes a realllllllllllllllllllllly long time to
do
anything? I did a Sarge installation that somehow left me with no
working lo
interface, and KDE was an unusable dog until I fixed that. It didn't
freeze
though, and the system was otherwise usable. It just took for fscking
EVER
to do anything.
I agree with the other people. If you're getting a real freeze, it's
almost
certainly your hardware. 256 MB of RAM is sufficient to run several
instances of KDE on a terminal server box, so that's not likely your
problem.
