Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vlc
Hi, I was watching a .avi file: Video AVI (video/x-msvideo) 698,9 MB (732827648 byte) 640 x 272 XVID MPEG-4 25 frames per second MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3 (MP3) Stereo 48000 Hz 112 kbps At some point (near 37 minute) PC starts swapping and became unusable. Pinging from another PC works so I logged with ssh after waiting some minutes for the login. dmesg gives: 47257.575381] Out of memory: kill process 22982 (vlc) score 73603 or a child [47257.575389] Killed process 22982 (vlc) I came back to the PC and metacity seems gone (application windows without title bar, no keyboard input in the already open terminal). I run it from ssh (metacity --display=:0.0) and now I am here to make this report. I was logged in X with two users. Both with encryptfs and there was rsync running for a big backup.
