Some info about pdflush: http://ymei.freeshell.org/gopher/Book/Linux.Kernel.Development.2ed/ch15lev1sec4.html My guess is that the screencast being recorded is consuming a significant part of the nand flash and the kernel is busy finding where to save the data and compressing it. > virtualbox and SoaS > we are trying to test running Sugar in virtual box (macbook) and can run > sugar from image > we are trying to test SoaS beta build but issues with ubuntu kernel and > filesystem (squashfs) I think the squashfs issue you are having is due to an old kernel version. F11 and Ubuntu Jaunty should have no problems creating the stick. I think these posts are very useful, perhaps [email protected] should be cc'ed in future ones?
