Hi, this is not a serious problem, but if anybody has a solution... I am on Linaro 12, I have installed: node (not launched by default, just installed) PHP+apache+MySQL bundle (launched at startup) VNC I run the UDOO mostly headless (no monitor) via VNC, but while if I login locally I see Gnome, when I launch a VNC session I get Unity so maybe Unity and Gnome consume memory together. So this is the problem: sometimes I get out of memory. now that I have the webserver installed, if I have one or two programs open (one terminal+ one Chromium, often just Chromium is enough) and I launch the Arduino IDE I get exceptions for memory exausted and can't compile. Should I create a swap file or some other way to have memory more flexible? Should I find a way to make VNC use Gnome instead of Unity? (this is for the next post..) Thanks, UDOO rocks!
Unity sucks up a LOT of memory, due to all the prettiness, try following the link I posted here: viewtopic.php?f=27&p=4772#p4772 Thanks, EBrown
Without Unity the system is more responsive and "feels" lighter, but still if I have a browser, a terminal, a text editor (gedit) and the Arduino IDE open at the same time, the IDE *may* sometimes complain (unable to allocate..) at compile time, and block compiling. Closing the browser and recompiling solves it, but it's a bit of a pain if you're copying examples/tutorials/help from the web. A swapfile is possible?
You probably could. It should be just shrinking the FAT32 partition and creating a SWAP partition with GParted. Thanks, EBrown
