In my case that was occuring compiling the kernel. The process take 6 hours and crash without finished in three occasions. See: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1569#note_1409226
To ensure it finished, I released the cache several time in the process: sudo sh -c " sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" When I do that all was ok, but sure is not nice to have a process running with an interval time to observed and cleaning the cache if it's to high. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues #1569 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1569 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972159 Title: systemd-oomd frequently kills firefox and visual studio code Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since I installed Ubuntu 22.04, firefox and visual studio code are frequently killed by systemd-oomd (every 2hours). I have 8 GB memory and never experienced this before the upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04. I thus assume that the claim that there is not enough memory is abusive. Did 64GB of memory become the minimum requirement to run Ubuntu ? The second problem is that it gives a very bad user experience which is critical for new Ubuntu users. There should be a warning prior killing apps to give the opportunity to save the app data. There should at least be an apologize and an explanation after killing the app. The current behavior gives the impression that Ubuntu 22.04 is unreliable and unsafe to use which is a problem for an LTS release that many people might want to use for critical production context. There might be a configuration problem with systemd-oomd or simply a bogus behavior. I would recommend to disable it or remove it completely until this problem is resolved. This is what I will do for myself because I have work to do.
