* bin/apport: Limit core dump size to 75% of usable RAM (MemFree+Cached-Writeback). This should avoid trashing people's boxes hard on huge core dumps. Bump dependencies on python-problem-report. Create an expensive, but realistic check for this in test-apport. (LP: #71560) ----
75%, what is this number based on? On a machine with a little amount of free memory this might still cause the problems. 75% of 2Mb is still a disaster. I would understand something like (Free Ram- XXMb). And if it would be a negative result, don't dump. The 75% fix will work for most, but not for some... Sounds like a nasty fix to me. -- Crash information collection depletes resources, clogs up and crashes system https://launchpad.net/bugs/71560 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
