| andrzejr | Hi, recently I am having many out-of-memory freezes on xubuntu. It is not a new issue but it got significantly worse over the years, perhaps because of my usage patterns, perhaps because of some changes in the system. | 08:56 |
|---|---|---|
| andrzejr | There is a discussion about it on OSNews: https://www.osnews.com/story/130117/kde-usability-and-productivity-are-we-there-yet/ (nothing to do with KDE) | 08:57 |
| andrzejr | I was wondering if Xubuntu could assign certain user processes (xfwm4, xfce4-panel, xfce4-taskmanager, xfce4-terminal, Xorg(?), shell, ps, kill) to a different class of processes with slightly more available memory to prevent thrashing. | 09:00 |
| andrzejr | A bit like this: https://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/local/it/projects/ubuntu-cgroups-and-trying-to-stop-users-making-a-system-unusable but this solution predates systemd, which also uses cgroup. | 09:00 |
| brainwash | andrzejr: I don't quite see why this should be limited to xubuntu | 09:26 |
| andrzejr | brainwash, it isn't. | 09:30 |
| andrzejr | But cgroup settings could be distribution specific. At least in theory, I don't know how this looks like in systemd. | 09:32 |
| brainwash | sounds like some research is needed :) | 09:33 |
| brainwash | so, it is unlikely that xubuntu will offer some custom solution, but adapt whatever is out there (upstream) | 09:35 |
| bluesabre | andrzejr: we could potentially do something like that, if you want to dig further for how we can implement it. Small team, and all that. :-) | 11:18 |
