ubuntu 10.10, apt-xapian-index 0.39ubuntu1 This happened to me this morning. i5 CPU, 4gig ram. But my computer was under heavy load already.
Completely froze for a few minutes, hard disk light on constantly. It's probably allocating too much memory somewhere cause "top" says I've used 1.3gig of swap when it finished. Usually, I have zero swap usage and 1gig of free ram. This thing could do with a ulimit somewhere. Unfortunately I couldn't duplicate it by running with the -f option, it's maybe a random thing. It usually eats up 300meg of virtual, 156meg of resident ram, probably not a good thing for <=512meg computers. If you have a small/slow computer remove this one and maybe mlocate too, another indexer that runs overnight. Note: This program is runned twice from cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index & cron.daily/apt. And it doesn't seem to complain when I run it twice at the same time. (but that wasn't my problem cause the weekly cron wasn't running today) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655831 Title: update-apt-xapian-index bogs down system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
