I have the same problem in Ubuntu 12.10 with gnome. I am not running apache, it is a pure desktop system.
Even though I cannot start applications from the menus, I can start the self same appliations from the command line. I have seen a comment elsewhere that the problem may be related to the weather indicator applet. In eaither case , it may be a memory leak. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592789 Title: apache2 "Cannot allocate memory" after too many reloads To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libapache2-mod-python/+bug/592789/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
