@Ivan, we are going to fix snapd for the excessive memory usage.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1830502] Re: apparmor uses excessive memory leading to oom kill
The biggest problem is that it isn't easily disabled because it is hardcoded in the script instead of being in /etc/apparmor/parser.conf. Instead of hardcoding, it would had been better to just update that conffile and let dpkg update it if the user didn't change it (which is highly likely) or on new installs. In /lib/apparmor/functions we have this: # LP: #1383858 - expr tree simplification is too slow for some # policy on 32bit ARM, so disable it for now cache_extra_args= if [ -d "$PROFILES_CACHE_VAR" ] && [ "$pdir" = "$PROFILES_VAR" ]; then cache_extra_args="-O no-expr-simplify" fi So now for machines with 2Gib of RAM and Snaps, Ubuntu 18.04 has become unusable. I know the minimum requirements are 4Gib but it did actually work fine with 2Gib before so it is a bit sad to loose that capability. My suggestion is to just revert that change and do it in parser.conf instead, so at least we have the option to easily modify it to retain some 2Gib support. Thanks a lot for considering this!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830502 Title: apparmor uses excessive memory leading to oom kill Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When attempting to load the profile from comment #7, apparmor uses excessive amounts of memory leading to being killed by the OOM killer and thus the apparmor.service failing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1830502] Re: apparmor uses excessive memory leading to oom kill
** Summary changed: - apparmor fails to start with no parser errors + apparmor uses excessive memory leading to oom kill ** Description changed: + When attempting to load the profile from comment #7, apparmor uses + excessive amounts of memory leading to being killed by the OOM killer + and thus the apparmor.service failing. + + Original bug description: + On Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Desktop, after running out of space on my disk, my system was unable to finish booting and I had to go into recovery mode and remove a number of files before the system would boot. After doing so I discovered that now the apparmor.service systemd unit always fails to start.

I can see that apparmor profiles are active after doing this (using aa- status), but it's still troubling that apparmor runs into an issue without actually saying what the error is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830502 Title: apparmor uses excessive memory leading to oom kill Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When attempting to load the profile from comment #7, apparmor uses excessive amounts of memory leading to being killed by the OOM killer and thus the apparmor.service failing.
