It indeed triggers OOM killer which kills firefox and thunderbird first, then sends my X session down. Usually I have to press sysrq-e to get rid of the livelock. As this kills irreversibly a whole running system, setting severity as critical. <no need to read this> I remember Lennart saying systemd codebase swallowed only small utilities which are and will be bug-free. Maybe they should reconsider touching working software with their dirty hands given they did not break it for the first time now. Or maybe somebody should finally fork that piece of sh^Boftware and make it robust, stand-alone and working. </no need to read this> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
