Hi green, > I have no idea, but have you tried setting overcommit_memory=2 and > overcommit_ratio= (eg.) 80 in order to disable the OOM killer? As far as I understand, the issue is not with overcommit - there is still a lot swap space left. I've just noticed I had the same issue back in 2009 and wasn't able to solve it. However, I've found another mentioning of it in the debian bug tracker ("generating locales fails on Nokia770 due to OOM killer despite free swap). The reporter mentioned setting swappiness=100 solved the problem for him, so I'll give it a try (and accept the increase in write-load to the SD card). br, Clemens _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
