Public bug reported: My edgy machine was swapping, a lot, because I was running a memory- hungry python script.
Working in a terminal, I accidentally hit F1 as I was trying to kill the script on a very slow-responding system. The system tried to run the gnome help application. It didn't run properly, maybe because of the lack of memory. But, the issue was made worse because bug-buddy insisted on hooking gdb into the process thus keeping both it and bug- buddy around. So, I'd like to suggest that there is no point in bug-buddy running when an application has failed due to lack of memory, and that bug-buddy should take a look to see if the system is swapping a lot before deciding if it should actually run. ** Affects: bug-buddy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- BugBuddy should not run if the system is swapping https://launchpad.net/bugs/70637 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
