Yep, 7.04. I never ran 6.06 so I can't attest to a decrease in stability between versions. I haven't seen a lot of posts to either the user or devel list regarding these types of freezing issues except for the last week or two. I think as users we need to do a better job of reporting the problems to the devels so they can properly try and get them resolved. Unfortunately I'm sure many people just try the software out, things don't work perfect and they just give up without any feedback. I wish I knew more about tracking such problems and what is helpful in reports. Does anyone know of any type of bug reporting procedure that would help users report helpful data? The default bug report tool seems to report to Ubuntu and not Edubuntu, and frozen machines don't work to well with the bug report system. Are there standard log files that are helpful to include? If there is such a procedure we should make it very obvious in mailing lists and on the Edubuntu website and urge users to report any such problems. I'm sure some specifics on the TuxPaint and Gcompris crashes would be very helpful. At this point I have spent almost the entire last two weeks trying to pinpoint causes to terminals freezing. I would have never thought the system would be this unstable. This must mean that many other users are having the same problems and either giving up or staying silent. I've only seen half a dozen users report similar problems with clients freezing and have to believe there are far more than that. I know that the developers can only test so much and after that rely on user feedback, so we need to be darn sure that all these problems get back to them so they know what is going on.
