Description Ionut Chisanovici 2014-07-24 09:47:49 UTC

Hi,

There is a problem for autobuilder on OpenSuse 13.1 while building world image.
Bitbake is crushing during a task (it doesn't matter which one) with error:
ERROR: Fakeroot process (28226) exited unexpectedly (-9), shutting down...

I looked in dmesg and saw the following error:
[ 3854.585762] Out of memory: Kill process 2921 (python) score 45 or sacrifice child
[ 3854.585765] Killed process 28226 (python) total-vm:291460kB, anon-rss:38856kB, file-rss:512kB

Once again, this is happening only on OpenSuse 13.1

Autobuilder commit used is: b6f4f74a7475e7180a8e8d1d51b6a4dfb563706d

Cheers,
Ionut C

Ross will chase this down with IonutC

Hello,

For the same OS and same world image the second main error why it crashes is this:

NOTE: recipe sudo-1.8.10p3-r0: task do_install: Started

I wrote a small script to monitor memory usage to see if we can work out what is eating all the memory.

Comment 4 Costin 2014-08-29 11:14:18 UTC

Hello,


I just finished a distro testing session and for this time with commits:

poky     52b788c6df9201764130ab744bf67b770b24b896
meta-qt3     3016129d90b7ac8517a5227d819f10ad417b5b45

no issues encountered. So for now on comment#3 I have nothing to add. I will wait for a new weekly testing and will add results then (if bug is reproducing), otherwise I will mark this bug as resolved.

Best regards,

Costin

Comment #4 shows this is in review.

Comment 6 Ross Burton 2014-11-13 17:17:42 UTC

Nobody has been able to reproduce this for a while, so closing.
