My client has 1024MB, I configured those files as per your instructions and it seemed to of helped at first, but then it froze the screen but did not throw me out of X. So I upped the NBD_SWAP to 1024, and now it works without a problem. By the way the /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf file didn't exist at all on my system is this normal? Thanks for your help, it was bugging me a lot as I like a stable system and hate the 'reboot it' type of solution. from Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
