Still experiencing this on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. The culprit is Chrome - I need to run two different versions at the same time for testing, and with ~20 tabs open in each, after 1-2 days of usage, Ubuntu freezes (unresponsive mouse cursor, the only thing that works is the power button).
I would say it's a little embarrassing that this bug has remained unfixed since 2007, but I'm also an open source contributor (though unfortunately not on kernels), so I won't complain. However, would it be possible to do something like what Windows does, and warn the user to close one or more applications when the amount of free memory is dangerously low? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159356 Title: System freeze on high memory usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/159356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
