[Bug 851051] Re: system hangs or "clogs" due to possible "out of memory killer" malfunction

 

hi. thanks for the reminder. i must say i haven't seen it for quite a time and forgot about it, but my use of ubuntu was minimal (still due to fundamental problems with the system). i will try to check if the problem persists over next few weeks, if possible.
(regarding certain other problems, perhaps you can have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1186512). brg

Title:
  system hangs or "clogs" due to possible "out of memory killer"
  malfunction

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  observed many times and not oneiric-specific, but ubuntu-specific since some time ago. typical occurence: system unresponsive after being left running (idle) overnight. also: system getting more and more slow and choppy throughout use. user "drussell" on #ubuntu-bugs says: "baskak: ahh that's bad.... // baskak: the out of memory killer is firing, and killing stuff off to try and save the system // baskak: the most I can suggest for now is raising a bug explaining what's going on, and attaching that log file"
  the log file will be attached below. 
  regarding testing against latest upstream mainline kernel, it seems bit to complicated to me...
