[19:05] <sublevel> What might cause apport to think there's not enough RAM?  "Sorry, the program tumblerd closed unexpectedly. Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyse the problem"
[19:06] <sublevel> 18.04
[19:06] <gnrp> sublevel: Trying to allocate memory which was not available?
[19:06] <sublevel> I'm currently using about 5.5gb out of 12
[19:09] <GridCube> if this is a java program it might not have had allocated enough ram?
[19:10] <sublevel> If I'm reading the internet correctly,  tumblerd is part of xfce
[19:34] <sublevel> Perhaps it did eat all my RAM before crashing, there's an old bug related to that.    I have a crash file but can't see anything in it that points to a particular existing bug on the tumbler page linked here https://bugs.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-bugs/+packagebugs
[19:54] <tomreyn> sublevel: The message you quoted is "Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyse the problem". so this message doesn't make a statement on whether or not the process failed due to insufficient memory. it just says that analyzing why it had failed (which is something that happens automatically by default on ubuntu) is not possible on your computer in this very case since the amount of RAM it would take to analyze it
[19:54] <tomreyn> is not available.
[19:55] <sublevel> I see, so there's something up with it that'd take 5gb+ to analyse
[19:56] <tomreyn> analyzing a crash can indeed take a lot of memory (and a lot more than the process itself would allocate), especially with sufficiently large and complex (dependencies) binaries.
[19:57] <sublevel> Thanks for the info
[19:58] <tomreyn> you're welcome :)
