Package: azureus Version: 2.5.0.0+0-1 Severity: important
~$ azureus Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine. It seems to allocate a insanely huge heap, by setting JAVA='java -Xmx1024M' in /usr/bin/azureus. Setting this to a lower value, such as 256M, fixes the problem. Such ridiculous heaps may work -- until the kernel runs out of memory -- under the default brain-damaged Linux mass-slaugher memory allocation scheme, where the kernel starts randomly sniping unrelated programs, when it can't find the free memory it has committed to having. Such ridiculous heaps are, however, not available (without a ridiculously big swap) under the saner vm/overcommit_memory=2 setting that ensures that the kernel will always have the memory it has promised, and thus not start mass-slaughtering other programs when some piece of bloatware starts demanding more memory. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages azureus depends on: pn java-gcj-compat | java-vi <none> (no description available) ii libcommons-cli-java 1.0-8 API for working with the command l ii liblog4j1.2-java 1.2.13-1 Logging library for java ii libseda-java 3.0-3 the Staged Event-Driven Architectu ii libswt-gtk-3.2-java 3.2.1-5 Standard Widget Toolkit for GTK Ja ii sun-j2re1.5 [java2-runtim 1.5.0+update02 Java(TM) 2 RE, Standard Edition, S azureus recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
