Here are the results of the "free" command. Somehow I missed your email requesting the results of the "free" command. My email shows 3 threads under the primary thread so I may have accidentally read your request incompletely thinking it was a resend. I apologize! Thanks for your tolerance.Ted Hilts wrote:Here is my swap:ted@Ubuntu:~$ swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda4 partition 854272 405932 -1 ted@Ubuntu:~$ Getting close to 1 GByte -- that ought to be enough when nothing is happenning -- that is I emptied the 4 desktops and all that was left were the icons put in place during installation.No, that isn't anywhere NEAR enough for a modern system. The "icons" are irrelevant - they're not running programs. It's the programs that are _running_ that matter.One big point everyone is missing is that it worked and now it doesn't.No, that's definitely not something I missed. That's exactly why I say you have a configuration problem, not a distribution problem. And in my eyes, the configuration problem is precisely that you don't have anywhere near enough swap.On power up it worked but complained it did not work but it did.And you haven't answered my questions about that.So far, no one has yet come up with a solution to this problem I haveSo far, at least two people have told you exactly what your problem is. So, one last try before I give up on you. What does "free" show? derek@bella:~$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1025972 934844 91128 0 52 311512 -/+ buffers/cache: 623280 402692 Swap: 3004112 30280 2973832 If the number in the "used" column for Mem is less than the number in the "free" column for Swap, you need a bigger swap partition [and before someone says how untrue that is, I know, it's just an approximation].
