Application Is Terminated with Message "Low memory! Killing process ..."

Symptom

A local application or session is killed, and a message that reads Low memory! Killing process [...] is shown.

Example:

Environment

• IGEL OS 11.04 or higher

Problem 

The system is running out of memory. As a countermeasure, the system has terminated the application.

Solution

->Close other applications that are not needed and restart the application.

->If the terminated application is Chromium or Firefox, restart it and try using fewer open tabs.

->If the issue occurs often, consider extending the memory size of the devices.
