computer lockups
well im running ubuntu and at times when i have quite a few things running it just locks up and i have to hit the restart button on my box so any one know what could be wrong? ah if it matters i dont have a swap partion beacause i have 512mb ram so i hope some one out there knows
thanks |
Give it a swap file and see whether the behaviour changes ;)
Commonly in an "out of memory" situation the kernel would decide to kill a random process ... maybe on your box it shoots itself in the foot? Cheers, Tink |
ah how would i be able to do that?
|
|
after i typed dd if=/dev/zero of=test.swp bs=1024 count=512000 then i did mkswp test.swp it said mkswp: command not found
|
ah nvm it was mkswap test.swp :p but after i did all that it gave me this warning message
swapon on test.swp swapon: warning: test.swp has insecure permissions 0644, 0600 suggested is that ok? |
tried all that as root?
Cheers, Tink |
yep
