if the dash would not be in lifecycle management at all and you would have gotten your system in such a state, the kernel would just have randomly killed bits of your session instead of the dash.
it is wanted that in such cases the dash gets killed before i.e. ofono gets killed so that your session still stays functional. imho the behavior is just fine, in case the sysem functions normal it should be the last of your UI apps that gets killed. in case where not even that would free up enough memory you have a whole lot of bigger probs ... the bug here lies within the apps that consume all your ram where they should not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1379296 Title: unity8-dash should be excluded from app lifecycle management Status in “qtmir” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “qtmir” package in Ubuntu RTM: New Bug description: STEPS: 1.

Cycle back to the scopes Scopes then restarts having a lot of apps open my unity8-dash gets contantly killed along the apps if a certain OOM threshold is reached ... this appears like a system crash of the UI (even though it is desired killing) from a user perspective ... checking the oom_score_adj values of all running apps i see that the dash has the same high value as all other open foreground apps: ... 11 7960 oxide-renderer 11 7963 oxide-renderer 11 7988 oxide-renderer 300 6170 oxide-renderer 802 12514 unity8-dash 802 6088 webbrowser-app 802 6873 webapp-containe 802 7425 webapp-containe 802 7910 webapp-containe (the full log can be found at http://paste.ubuntu.com/8526308/ ) given that the dash is one part of our core UI it should be excluded from app lifecycle management (keeping the same oom_score of 10 as unity8 does) so that only actual apps get killed on high memory pressure.
