Copy paste crash Slitaz

Good morning.

I tryed copy paste on a page with firefox on Slitaz live cd.

I did something wrong.

I dont know.

The mouse changed.

It is shown  +   and then like a page of text

the mouse can walk

but no reaction.

I booted again live CD

How can I find control back of mouse and what mistake did I do.

Second problem:

Sometimes mouse is frozen.

I have to boot again live CD.

Is there help.

Thank You.

Re: Copy paste crash Slitaz

You ran out of RAM. That's why it's freezing or crashing. SliTaz 4's LiveCD takes up about 160MB of RAM - more so if you install big packages like Firefox. Add to the memory hungry nature of Firefox and that it's cacheing everything to your RAM, what ends up happening is that you just run out of RAM and the system crashes or freezes.

The best cure? Install SliTaz to the hard drive. That way it'll stop using RAM for storing everything.

Good morning. The Computer owns only 2 gb. Is that to small for any Linux?

Well, depending on what you install and run during LiveCD mode, even 2GB might not be enough. Firefox is probably the biggest culpret. It reserves a big chunk of RAM, and then takes more when it dumps it's cache as you browse. Add to that it's applications, java and flash, and you have an application that eats RAM for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This one of the few reasons to install SliTaz rather than just use the LiveCD.

Thank You for help. Now again, I can see + and a piece of paper and Slitaz cannot react. How can I go back to reach keyboard or mouse?

Thank You.
