Can anyone give an update on this issue? Last I heard it was discussed last September. I can provide any information anyone needs regarding my setups. In fact, here it is: 1) Ubuntu Gutsy (both i386 and AMD64) on the LTSP servers (3 total servers so far) - Desktop and Server installs (all running latest Gnome, OpenOffice, Firefox, all updates applied regularly) 2) HP Proliant ML370 G5 servers. All have 8GB RAM, all but one are 2x dualcore Xeon 1.6GHz, one is dual-quadcore Xeon 3.0GHz. 3) All i386 clients - 2 labs full of Compaq iPaq Legacy-free PC C500/810e clients, and 1 full of Neoware e100 thin-clients 4) My 'lspci -vv' can be found here (regarding the more common server): http://pastebot.ltsp.org/419 I can't do an lspci -vv on clients as I am not onsite and can only access the servers remotely. 5) The most common switches we use are 3COM 10/100 (with 1000 modules in some). 6) Common lts.conf is as follows, but not entirely uniform yet: [default] X_COLOR_DEPTH = 24 SOUND = true SOUND_DAEMON = pulse THE ISSUE: I've experienced this at all 3 sites so far (there are more to deploy) - open OpenOffice Writer, select Tools -> Gallery, drag/drop and move around a bunch of high-quality clipart images onto the new document. Watch it slow to a crawl and eventually die. Also, open Firefox and visit any site with incredibly intensive graphics (like Jim's site a long time ago - not sure if it's still up). Watch xrestop's output progress to the total amount of memory on the client, and eventually crash it. I know about XRAMPERC, but according to my earlier post, here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lts...@li.../msg32447.html None of my iPaq thin clients will boot when that is in place, with whatever value you put in. So if I can help out with anything else, please ask (Not sure exactly how this list replies to you but I'll try and keep an eye on the massive amounts coming in daily). Thanks for any help!!! Sincerely, Jordan Erickson |

This problem seems to be one which can only be fixed individually in each application (openoffice, firefox, etc.) or in the X server code. Neither is particularly easy to do. A bug was opened against firefox, and they seem to have a fix in firefox v3, but there's no obvious sign of that getting to firefox v2. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395260 An alternative solution proposed by someone in the X community was a SHIM file which seems to clear out the pixmaps. I'm not sure how the application would react to this but I guess firefox or openoffice crashing might be better than the thin client crashing. Jim K has posted the code here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2007-December/003060.html I haven't had time to try this out myself, but if you have time and inclination, please do and let us know how it goes. If firefox v3 fixes it, I guess that fix will extend to thunderbird which has also had this problem. Konqueror and Opera apparently don't show the issue. OpenOffice seems to be the next application that needs fixing. Gavin |

Ahh, thank you Gavin. I was trying to figure out the issue tracker for OOo...seems very complex (as in, you need to know sql to even perform a search/query in the db for an open bug). Thanks again. I have a bit of information regarding the X_RAMPERC that might help in my particular situation - I will test hopefully today or tomorrow and report back.

OK - after a few hours of testing in a (thankfully) empty lab this afternoon, I have the following to report (My network is Ubuntu 7.10 i386 server & clients): 1) After an 'apt-get install ltsp-server' and 'ltsp-build-client', my /opt/ltsp/arch/usr/lib/ltsp/screen.d/ldm was there, including the X_RAMPERC code! I was surprised, I didn't know it had been ported to LTSP5. However, the 'ulimit ' line in the file read with a -m switch. According to Scott's earlier post, "If your shell is dash (posix shell) on Ubuntu, then it's -m. If it's bash, then it's -v" The script itself calls for #!/bin/bash - and I was having issues with the lts.conf X_RAMPERC option working with OpenOffice crashing the X session (although it seemed as though Firefox would crash (expectedly) after loading that school art webpage Jim so humbly offered as a troubleshooting aid. It was strange, but I had to put in the X_RAMPERC = 80 switch (again, note the _ in it - some earlier posts omit it, which I saw before realizing, and felt dumb) for OpenOffice to crash (expectedly) and not lock up when I inserted some high-volume clipart from the 'openclipart-*' packages (look in "People", the first two will knock X11 out in about 4 drags/drops from the gallery). What sucks (for me, anyway) *still* is the fact that when X_RAMPERC is enabled, my Compaq iPaq workstations (with the intel 810 module) won't boot to ldm (no matter what you put the value at). I get the same thing as I posted before... --- The error, after 21 lines of what looks similar to this: [21] 0 0 0x800003c0 - 0x800803df (0x20) IS[B](OprU) I get the following error: "Fatal server error: xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0x4400000,0x400000) (Cannot allocate memory)" --- Any help would be appreciated on my issue here - most of my labs are affected because they are (mostly) all the iPaqs that are throwing the error (different hardware, most likely with more RAM, don't have this issue). Come to think of it, I should look in the BIOS to see how much video memory is allocated. Maybe that'll help. But any insight would be great.

Yes - in fact, X_COLOR_DEPTH=24 was in there from the beginning, as the iPaqs won't boot without it (intel driver is borked, IIRC) Sincerely, Jordan Oliver Grawert wrote: > hi, > On Fr, 2008-01-18 at 19:44 -0800, Jordan Erickson wrote: >> enabled, my Compaq iPaq workstations (with the intel 810 module) won't >> boot to ldm (no matter what you put the value at).

The bug report got a fairly quick reply from Caolan (pron. kwee-len) MacNamara who is an OOo developer. He has reproduced and seems interested to try and see what's going on. It sounds like there may be a bug in OOo that is causing it to duplicate pixmaps unnecessarily. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=85321 Gavin |

Sorry, time has not allowed me. I'm in the middle of writing a thesis :-) Hopefully I'll give it a bash soon. My assumption though is that it may well destabilise the application it acts on. Gavin |

Thank you all!! This is going to be awesome for all sorts of LTSP users, if it is in fact *the* bug we've all had been dealing with. (Next part Ubuntu/LTSP specific) Just out of curiosity, what can we do to persuade devels to backport to Gutsy? My particular stance is that, at least from Feisty to Gutsy, I upgraded our labs as soon as it came out because of existing bugs I needed to have fixed in Feisty - but obviously there were new bugs that cropped up. I hate to be so much on the 'bleeding edge', but staying with Dapper is very difficult given the amount of progress we've seen in LTSP alone. Thank you all again for everything.

I'm sure you know about this, but try to enable the memory cache in Firefox - even if it sounds absurd. You can also install Opera which don't use the X server memory for caching. (see http://www.mille-xterm.org/en/Terminal_Memory_Usage ) Firefox3 try to correct this (?). Xavier |

I ran into the problem mostly when printing large graphics, hopefully this might fix that as well. Hopefully if nothing else the Hardy release might include FF3 and with this patch maybe a more stable OpenOffice. This is great.

I'm unclear still about the effect of the OpenOffice bugfix, but it's useful to note that Federico's patch is in the new release of Firefox -- which almost certainly means it'll be in thunderbird 3 too. http://blog.pavlov.net/2008/03/11/firefox-3-memory-usage/ Gavin |

The patch is a single line addition and it's easy to see how to apply it. I'm trying to rebuild the openoffice packages for gutsy now so we can test if this makes a difference and I guess I can probably pass people a package if you want to test. Building openoffice is really not a quick process. Gavin |
