Ubuntu users struggle with out of memory service |
 |
Some people running the new 22.04 version of Ubuntu have reported a problem with the way the distribution now handles low memory situations. In the past, Ubuntu (like most Linux distributions) would allow processes to consume as much memory as they wanted. This would sometimes result in applications gobbling up memory and then swap space, resulting in more disk access and poor performance. Ubuntu now employs the systemd out of memory (OOM) service which will kill processes when memory gets close to full. Some people are feeling the side effects of this change, specifically finding applications (and their related processes) are suddenly terminating without warning. "Ubuntu 22.04 comes with the systemd-oomd service enabled by default, which has been 'helpfully' killing my IDE and/or terminals whenever I try to compile an application using an abundance of threads/memory. What is the right way to either turn this off, or configure the service to not shoot random processes in the face while I'm using them?" The new behaviour can be turned off using the command "sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-oomd".
