This is still a problem in Ubuntu 7.10. I really think this is a major defect in Ubuntu. Back in the old days there was a nice oom-killer that simply just killed the process which lead to this situation. It's incredible frustrating to have the machine go into swap-hell and the only thing you can do is wait ~30 min or restart the computer. The problem should be reproducable on all machines, there's a test case, so why is there no interest in fixing this?
I have 2gb of memory so it's not like I have too little, so it is a problem for more or less everyone if you have a process which leaks over time (firefox, monodevelop comes to mind here). -- Thrashing hell https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27441 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
