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.
