I've compiled a vanilla 2.6.21.5 kernel using the config from edgy 2.6.17. It was compiled in edgy because it failed in gutsy because of this bug - I think.
I installed the new kernel and tried to do a aptitude install openoffice and other packages (just to not overload the system). I got the following output: Unpacking replacement python-uno ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/python-uno_2.2.1-2ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): fork failed: Cannot allocate memory dpkg: error while cleaning up: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory dpkg: error while cleaning up: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory Can this be related to this bug? If dpkg is allocating huge amounts of memory, the system will start to swap and become unresponsive. Since a kernel compile will bring the system down, there is potentially other memory leaks. -- High load and extremely unresponsive system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
