Thread: Ubuntu freezes - out of memory?


this problem started appearing while ago. i'm on 4 gb ram, though enough, suspect not. last time happened had firerfox, rtorrent , rhythmbox running while watching 720p video on vlc. after while see memory meter reaching 94 %, movie sound started lag , mouse well. became worse , worse , in end had hard reset. happens lot, if use ardour , other jack applications.

haven't experienced before, , don't know why seems eat memory (i can't point out specific app causing this).

suspect lag because swap isn't working, it's on 0% , memory meter never reaches 100 % before freezes... how can tell? i've got 5 gb swap partition dedicated that.

i'm running dreamstudio (ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.2.0-23 lowlatency).

look @ /etc/fstab , swap partition entry should have these settings :

html code:
uuid=  .......                      none   swap  sw                 0  0
