I am running K12LTSP 3.01. It's only about 3 days old as I switched over
during vacation (last week) from 2.1.2. Everything is working well except
Mozilla seems to be giving us trouble. If a kid tries to go to a site
that has shockwave or flash content it causes mozilla to freeze.
Sometimes the user doesn't get frozen solid...they can log out....other
times they get frozen solid and I have to go in as root to TeacherTool.py
and "kill" them and their processes. Mozilla seems to be the main
culprit. I reinstalled the flashplayer with the version from macromedia
(the apt version doesn't seem to work right) and that allows me to use
flash sites quite well....but Mozilla is still having issues. anyone else
having problems or an idea for a fix? I can't keep having to go in a kill
users.
One other thing....I had one kid last period who logged out of Gnome and
was logging in using icewm....his login froze....I went in to TeacherTool
and noticed that mozilla.bin was still running under his username.....I
killed mozilla and his login "thawed" and logged right in. So that
indicates Mozilla is the culprit.
