Tested with ubuntu-10.04.4 on a desktop machine with 4GB of RAM and 10GB of swap. The problem remains, but needed higher demand to simulate and the input is less choppy, making it easier to use the UI. This leads me to the conlcusion that the problem happens when the whole virtual memory is full, i.e. both RAM and Swap memory.
I would expect a behaviour that keeps reserved some of the RAM for sustaining the basic OS operations. However, I will try to increase the Swap and see if the problem is not so severe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162073 Title: System freeze on high memory usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1162073/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
