I'd like to emphasise that the OOM problem only happens with KDE. I have several DE installed including Unity, GNOME3, Cinnamon. But none of them caused a OOM, at least I never noticed. But in KDE, most of the time when chrome is opened, it triggers OOM. dmesg tells that, sometimes kwin_x11 invoked the OOM or plasmashell.
Most of the time plasmashell is crashed and the opened tab in chrome is killed. However, chrome application will be there. I need to start plasmashell by pressing Alt-F2 bringing the run command dialog and type plasmashell there. Last night, Even firefox gave an OOM. I'm attaching a dmesg log hoping that will be helpful. ** Attachment added: "dmesg log in KDE with 4.4.0-21 kernel" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1655842/+attachment/4859987/+files/shitty-dmesg.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1655842 Title: "Out of memory" errors after upgrade to 4.4.0-59 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1655842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
