Hey I am just setting up a pilot thin client lab for my kids school and I hit a couple of snags. The first on is sound on the thin client- the sound works on logging in and I can get other system sounds to work but so far totem, xmms,real player, beep media player and VLC media player dont work - no complaints from any of these - just silence. if I mouse over an mp3 file on the desktop it will stat playing and it also appears that rythmbox works as well. I have tested all the options in sound preferences and the only one that works is ESD - all the others fail silently.
The other problem I am having is unreliable booting of the thin client. it can take up to three power cycles to fully boot the client- it either hangs just after the progress bar starts moving on the edubuntu boot screen or it boots successfully. How do I debug this sort of thing are there any kernel messages on the thin client? if so where are they. Any help on these issues would be great as I really want to put the best foot forward for edubuntu when presenting this to the school.
