Sure. What happens is when I visit a page with Flash content, the browser sits at the partially loaded page and acts like it is still loading, until you power off the thin client. The mouse can be moved but Firefox is unresponsive. The page cannot be stopped, and Firefox cannot be closed. The thin clients I'm using are HP T5125s with the VIA CLE266 graphics card. The same happens with Evince. When a PDF is opened, Evince starts and shows that it is loading the PDF (in big bold letters), but after that, Evince also becomes unresponsive. I'll try with a different PC as a thin client to see if it is a graphics card/memory issue. Are there certain temporary directories that these applications need that are not created when I created the kiosk chroot environment? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
