Public bug reported:
After a few days of uptime, my laptop (with 4 GB RAM, running Ubuntu
15.10, 64 bit) is getting unresponsive, starts swapping, and eventually
OOM-killer starts killing processes.
The workaround I use to "fix it" is as follows (it helps for the next 2
days or so):
$ unity --replace &
Here is "free" output before running "unity --replace &":
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3472600 3383216 89384 88428 38324 545220
-/+ buffers/cache: 2799672 672928
Swap: 3610620 3264476 346144
"free" output after "unity --replace &" was run:
$ free
