Call for testing: OOM adjustment changes
-
@status_active If you want to continue helping: You can switch to the development channel via the Updates menu in the System Settings app. You will have to rerun the commands in the first post again after that.
-
Ok, reflashing now.Developer Mode should be active?
-
@status_active Just in case the startup fails again, we might need something to get information from.
-
Oook, now it's working. March 8th update were installed too
-
@status_active Awesome!
-
@fredldotme Now, should I open as much apps as I can and take a look at them on the Terminal using TOP?
-
@status_active Opening as many apps as possible is a good start. What shouldn't happen is that the topmost application gets killed before the others.
-
@fredldotme Topmost application meaning the current active or foreground app?
-
@kugiigi I would say the most memory consuming app
-
With this change switching between apps is much snappier. I couldn't find any regressions.
-
I agree.No issues at all when switching between apps
-
Can this be installed on rc channel?
-
@mihael you can try but it's untested. As of now rc should roughly match what devel pprovides
-
Is this something that in the end (after tests) will land in the image?
-
@mihael hopefully
-
And how would you describe the benefits of this chage?
-
@mihael See the first post.
-
@fredldotme Right now, on my Pro5, I have many apps setup in UT Tweak Tool not to be supressed by the system. Yet, I only use Call, Browser and Gallery opened (stay on) all the time. I also use 2GB of swap. Still, from time to time, Unity8 reboots - and I guess this is because ram is limited (3GB).
Do you think this mod will improve the behaviour described above? - like would it still reboot because of a ram limitation or no more reboots?
Thank you for all your work and time!

@mihael no, this probably won't change much.
