@wxl People on #kubuntu-dev decided to skip zram for now since they wanted for issue to be recognized as "release critical " for that change. You can see more details at the end of https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2024/04/18/%23kubuntu-devel.html -- You received this bug notification because you are

What's curious is that at least by commit message, there seems to be no mention of zram at all in the Kubuntu seeds: https://git.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/kubuntu/log/?qt=grep=zram -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

@wxl I am not sure if the Kernel change is the sole reason, but I first encountered the issue when Kernel switched from 6.6 to 6.8. Maybe it was just a tipping point when memory consumption became too high for 2GB systems and later for 2.5GB. Also I am not sure when zram-config was removed from

Steve, since zram-config solves the issue, my thinking is we could make it a default for livecd-rootfs. Anyways, like I said, it's not a Calamares issue, so pointing it at kubuntu-meta so they can choose to add it to their seed if they like. FWIW Lubuntu has seeded it for years. ** Also

2024-04-19 Thread Steve Langasek
Walter, you assigned this to livecd-rootfs, but that's a dead end. The memory consumption of the livecd is largely a property of the software it runs. Ubuntu and Kubuntu might both fail now on a system with 3GiB of RAM, but any fix to get under that threshold is likely to be flavor- specific and

If this happens in Ubuntu, it’s not Calamares. Are you suggesting that the new kernel may have some part to play? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2062428 Title: Kubuntu 24.04 daily

@guiverc Thank you for pointing deficiencies in my reporting. I've added additional context. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to provide apport reporting since (1) Most of the times the system hard locks. (2) Since I've seen it fail dozens of times, in order to save time I either increase
