Out of memory problem

2003-09-09 Thread Kurt Taylor 
I've started to have a problem of my computer running out of memory.  It's on 
a work computer and it happens during the middle of the night so I'm not here 
actively doing anything.  The machine has 256MB of RAM and 517MB of swap 
space.
In the morning, several of the programs I left running the night before have 
been killed, and the syslog has several entries like

Sep  8 23:57:28 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 28828 
(apache).
Sep  8 23:57:37 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 29430 
(apache).
Sep  8 23:57:48 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 727 
(kdeinit).
Sep  9 00:07:46 ktaylor-pc vmunix: Out of Memory: Killed process 29438 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:05:39 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 29437 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:08:44 ktaylor-pc vmunix: Out of Memory: Killed process 29440 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:08:38 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 29439 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:08:49 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 29441 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:08:53 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 29459 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:09:00 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 29462 
(apache).
Sep  9 00:09:07 ktaylor-pc kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 1640 
(kdeinit).

The most recent time, there were a total of 67 messages, mostly apache 
processes were killed.  Shortly before processes start getting killed, I see 
the following lines from ps -aux

USER   PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY  STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root   368 41.1 67.8 519176 174292 ? D13:47 218:35

kurt  1640  0.0  0.0 23464  144 ?S13:48   0:31 kdeinit:

kurt  2010  5.1 21.6 161480 55676 pts/0  D13:48  27:21 rdesktop -g 
1124x800 [IP address deleted]

It appears as if X-windows and rdesktop are consuming all the memory.  The 
last process killed is konsole (PID=1640) which was used to start the 
rdesktop session, so it is killed along with konsole.  The output of ps 
-aux after the processes have been killed shows

USER   PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY  STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root   368 20.2  7.5 32692 19428 ?   SSep08 235:54 
/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt7 -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-0B9JDi


This leads me to believe that the problem resides with rdesktop, but I don't 
know for sure.  The problem has occured about 5 times now, and each time 
rdesktop is one of the processes that gets killed.  Any ideas of anything 
else I should check.

 Yes, looks like rdesktop and X are who should have been killed instead
 of apache/kdeinit; which could mean that the OOM killer chose the wrong
 process to kill. What kernel are you running, just curiosity?


 Diego Calleja.

Currently I'm running 2.6.0-test4.  The problem has also occured under 
2.6.0-test3 and 2.4.21

Re: off-topic: quick LaTeX question

You might try a LaTeX package called subfigure.  It can be downloaded from the 
CTAN
website at ftp://ftp.duke.edu/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/catalogue.html.  I 
don't know
how well it works as I just came across it a few days ago and haven't had a 
chance to
work with it yet, but it looks like it wil do what you want it to.

 I'm writing a LaTeX document that contains two very similar tables
 which I would like to have side-by-side to accent their similarity:

 --- ---
 | table 1 | | table 2 |
 | | | |
 --- ---
 caption 1   caption 2

 LaTeX wants to put them one above the other.  How do I get what I
 want?

I resently install slink for the first time.  I can't
figure out how to get it to recognize my 
mouse when running xf86config.  I have a microsoft
serial mouse.  Does anyone 
know how to configure a serial mouse?

Thanks,
