Thank you for your report. There were some improvements that landed to fix bug #1966381 but you already have that version. The log shows you are indeed hitting the ram/swap limits from your machine so it might be the expected behaviour to avoid getting the machine locking up for minutes
what's the output of $ free -h before you hit the issue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969248 Title: Systemd-oomd frequently kills applications on 8GB RAM machine Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a machine with 8GB of RAM, systemd-oomd will frequently kill applications. This has been most apparent for me when using Firefox with quite a lot of tabs open. This could probably be avoided by being more disciplined with the number of tabs in use but shouldn't need to be an active consideration for the user. I think this is less of a bug with systemd-oomd as it is effectively doing its job when memory is low, but rather I think this is more a case of the default amount of swap (1GB) not being sufficient if only 8GB of RAM is present.
