I'm not sure there's much we can do about a live system without swap running out of RAM. You could, however, change the COMPRESS setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to "gzip" instead of "lzma".
Come to think of it, the default *is* gzip, so I'm somewhat curious why you're getting lzma there at all. ** Summary changed: - package initramfs-tools 0.99ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 + lzma compression attempts fail with low memory -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1019138 Title: lzma compression attempts fail with low memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1019138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
