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. -----Original Message----- From: Silvan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 9 July 2004 8:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: KDE freeze on sarge On Wednesday 07 July 2004 11:41 pm, Aaron Robertson-Hodder wrote: > For some reason KDE seems to freeze intermittently on my new sarge > installation.

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. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
