[Kernel-packages] [Bug 159356] Re: System freeze on high memory usage

2018-06-29 Thread Taddeo Manzi
"Won't fix"? This bug does not permit me to zip big files.
"Sorry mom, you can't zip those files, GNU/Linux thinks your pc hasn't enough 
power to do it, best coming back to windows, where ram filling up doesn't kill 
your system."

Title:
  System freeze on high memory usage

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Arch Linux:
  New
Status in Fedora:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I run a batch matlab job server here at my lab, running Dapper 6.06 (for the 
LTS). One of the users has submitted a very memory-consuming job, which 
successfully crashes the server. Upon closer inspection, the crash happens like 
this:
  1. I run matlab with the given file (as an ordinary, unpriveleged user)
  2. RAM usage quickly fills up
  3. Once the RAM meter hits 100%, the system freezes: All SSH connections 
freeze up, and while switching VTs directly on the machine works, no new 
processes run - so one can't log in, or do anything if he is logged in. 
(Sometimes typing doesn't work at all)

  Note that the swap - while 7 gigs of it are available - is never used.
  (The machine has 7 gigs of RAM as well)

  I've tried the same on my Gutsy 32-bit box, and there was no system
  freezeup - matlab simply notified that the system was out of memory.
  However, it did this once memory was 100% in use - and still, swap
  didn't get used at all! (Though it is mounted correctly and shows up
  in "top" and "free").

  So first thing's first - I'd like to eliminate the crash issue. I
  suppose I could switch the server to 32-bit, but I think that would be
  a performance loss, considering that it does a lot of heavy
  computation. There is no reason, however, that this should happen on a
  64-bit machine anyway. Why does it?

  WORKAROUND: Enabling DMA in the BIOS

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1656618] Re: Any key pressed opens shutdown dialog (Asus X205TA)

2017-01-18 Thread Taddeo Manzi
Wait, as harryharryharry, I can confirm that mainline kernel 
4.9.0-040900.201612111631 works without problems. So the problem is only 
present in 4.8 ubuntu line and 4.10, so maybe the problem is caused by some 
backported code from mainstream, maybe security patch.
So, could be this change reported in
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-hwe-edge/linux-hwe-edge_4.8.0-34.36~16.04.1/changelog

 - HID: i2c-hid: fix OOB write in i2c_hid_set_or_send_report()

  Any key pressed opens shutdown dialog (Asus X205TA)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a fresh install of 16.10 on my Asus X205TA, any key pressed on
  the built-in keyboard brings up the shutdown dialog. The system works
  fine with a USB keyboard.

  The installed kernel was 4.8.0-34-generic. Booting with
  4.8.0-22-generic, the keyboard works fine.

Bug still present in upstream kernel.
"On a sidenode, touchpad and built-in keyboard do not work with 4.10-rc3. on 
boot dmesg shows the i2c_hid module "failed to reset device". When the laptop 
is finished booting, pressing one key on the built-in keyboard instantly powers 
off the laptop."
