I waited 13 hours, with no visible change from this morning: screen blank, no response to mouse or stylus movement (though both devices' LEDs light up when moved), hard drive light steady and audibly chugging away. I was mistaken about there being no keyboard response: there was, only with about a 30 second delay before the LEDs responded. [ctrl-alt- backspace] and [ctrl-alt-F#] did not seem to do anything: I did not observe any change in drive activity and after 5 minutes there was no change to the display.
I pushed the power button for 5 seconds, the machine powered off. I waited a few minutes before turning it back on again. The system booted normally and appears functional, so long as I stay away from vlc, k9copy, and open office. I haven't tried very hard to see what other programs might trigger the runaway memory. Please, what do I need to do to get to the bottom of this? thank you. -- process consumes all ram, reading X keyboard settings over and over again https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
