[Bug 794938] Re: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login
well, the system has only 512M so if you actually leak memory it wouldnt take long to fill it :) but i would expect to see some trace of OOM or so in dmesg for that. i will surely try 0.4.0 and report back -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794938 Title: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/794938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 794938] Re: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login
ok, just tried 0.4.0, it doesnt die on fork anymore, but sadly doesnt start on boot now ... sudo start lightdm gives me a working login manager and login works though. the issue might have been a toolchain glitch or some such, feel free to colse this bug. i try to find out why it doesnt start now and will file another bug if necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794938 Title: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/794938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 794938] Re: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login
Well, I'm certainly scratching my head on this one. The log shows a completely normal startup. The greeter correctly forks, but when it comes to fork the session it fails. I'll ask you to see if it reproduces on 0.4.0, but I can't see any reason why it should behave differently. Taking the error code from fork() literally. Is there any chance this device has run out of memory? I was looking in the log in case LightDM leaked memory massively before the fork call, but I can't see any evidence of that. If someone else is getting the same problem, please post here your setup to shed some light on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794938 Title: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/794938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 794938] Re: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login
there is no particular reason why a fork would fail on arm, with gdm the desktop works just fine. also i dont think it is arm specific, when i brought it up on #ubuntu-desktop i got feedback from some others that seemed to see the same symptoms. it also seems that changing to another greeter works to get into a session. i will attach the log soon... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794938 Title: lightdm dies with Failed to fork: Cannot allocate memory on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/794938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you attach the full log?
