> Please tell me which log (s) you require. journalctl -u systemd-oomd.service -b
would be a good start. If you rebooted since uninstalling systemd-oomd, please gather the logs from the most recent boot where the issue occurred. E.g., if it was the previous boot, you could use `-b -1` to specify that. Or, if it was two boots ago, you could do `-b -2`. See `man journalctl` for details. > Memory usage (before systemd-oomd removed) I don't have and I don't really want to reinstall systemd-oomd just to show the memory usage increasing Without this, there's not a clear way for me to investigate your issue. I (and many others) run systemd-oomd without this issue. > https://askubuntu.com/questions/1404888/how-do-i-disable-the-systemd- oom-process-killer-in-ubuntu-22-04 This does not say anything about systemd-oomd *causing* increased memory usage. This is about systemd-oomd *killing* processes with high memory usage, as it is designed to do. We had issues with it being too aggressive in the past, which is what that and other reports are about. -- 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/2097016 Title: systemd-oomd package causes iconstant increase in memory usage Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The memory usage was constantly increasing (starting at approx 6GB and rising to at least 15GB and eventually the OS hung, my guess it being that it ran out of RAM even though I was doing nothing except refreshing Firefox tabs. I'm running Noble (upgraded from 2022 LTS) on a 16GB Ryzen box, I found a AskUbuntu report which stated that the problem is the system-oomd package, Initially someone suggested stopping the oomd service but that eventually failed top work and the current solution is to remove the system-oomd package. I've done that and the memory glitch has gone away so the RAM usage is staying constant at 7GB. IMO this is a serious errorand will put off Ubuntu newbies.
