In tuxpaint i can use the app but when i go to quit the app freezes and will not let me save or quit. If i run tuxpaint --nosound it runs without problem.(sound is working on the machine through alsa mixer) When i run tuxmath and tuxtype the screen starts flashing to a black screen then back to the app. Not sure where to start with this. Hope someone can help. 

Hey Jim.  This is probably a compatibility problem with a
combination of SDL, ALSA and PulseAudio.

See:  http://tuxpaint.org/docs/known_issues/

Basically, you can either (1) remove PulseAudio (what I've done
on my Ubuntu 9.04 system, and it behaves a LOT better), or
(2) install the PulseAudio backend for SDL (versus ALSA, which
then talks to PulseAudio).  On Debian, for example, this package
does it:  libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

For more, see:

If this doesn't turn out to be the issue at hand, or the
suggestions don't fix it, please let us know!  Good luck!
