Virtualbox OSE also goes haywire with ram useage; I let it use up over 2gb before killing the process (no point in letting it get to the point of thrashing my hard drive for hours on end IMO). The strace for vbox looks the same as for vlc and k9copy.
I've now run every program in the main menu from Accessories through the end of Other, plus Sound & Video, and not counting Games. There are 40 or so more programs to test, most of them games, before I've testing every program installed with a menu entry. I'll try and do the rest within the next day or so. -- 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
