If I kill Firefox the machine comes back.
if, during that, I hot key out of X/KDE to a VT running root and use 'w' or 'top' I see I have a load factor of 10 ...1 ..12. 15...20 ...25 YIKES And I see that the amount of swap being used is rising ... Rising Conclusion: FF has a memory leak. Well actually on close examination, opening just one or two tabs, I see that it isn't actually FF but rather a plugin -- its the 'plugin container' Oh, yeah. I've seen that. It would be nice if there were defined cgroups for common applications.
I can still, manually, kill firefox from a root login at a VT. But it would be nice to have firefox running, as you say, in a container that limited how much memory, or CPU it can have. I'd happily put up wuth FF alone 'freezing' so long as it didn't drag down the rest of the system. I think a few here would agree on that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
