[Bug 943516] Re: Linux freeze when compiling

2013-12-14 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
blue balls, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com

One way to avoid the freeze is to limit the number of parallel compilations taking place by using: make -j N In my case since I have a dual core CPU, N is equal to 2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

It looks like the system you are using to perform the compile is running out of memory. The kernel is performing oom kills to free memory. Are you able to add additional memory to the build system? 2G may not be enough for parallel builds. You may also want to run a memtest on the system. --

Joseph, I did ran memtest several times on my system with no problems found. I understand that the kernel kills processes to free memory but is it normal behavior that it should freeze completely the system ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which

After rebooting, I did a make -j again and after a few seconds the system freezed again ! So it seems that this is not a one time event. I'll try to find out more. I appreciate any pointers about how to proceed. Is it possible to activate some form of kernel logging to find out where

To Joseph: thanks I'll take a look. No, the system doesn't respond to any Ctrl+Alt+Fn nor to Ctrl+Alt+Del. Also it doesn't respond to pressing the power button quickly for 1-2 seconds - if I keep it pressed for about 5 seconds, the power is cut off. -- You received this bug notification

I reproduced the bug again, this time with another computer connected through ssh as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash On one terminal I had a cat /proc/kmsg and on another tail -f /var/log/syslog. When the first computer crashed, it still responded to

Here is last lines displayed by the command tail -f /var/log/syslog As I said before it's not the full output, just the last few hundred lines. I hope this is easy to solve as on my computer it happens every time I do the make -j on the Linux kernel sources. I run Linux 10.04 with all
