General Support / Re: higher than normal memory usage
January 25, 2013, 12:07:58 AM
Hi Todd,

Welcome to VSIDO and the Community!

Do you also still have wicd handling your network? That is 45 MiB wasted there...

I have disabled wicd and use /etc/network/interfaces instead for my network I also use the Liquorix kernel with Xfce 4.10 which is slightly heavier than OB.  I have 2 Conky's 2 Tint2 panels that load on startup and with all that I am 111Mib in use when I login

Check in Boot Up Manager to see if there is anything loading that should not be.  Also check in Task Manager to see what is using memory

dizzie has also managed to get his OB setting down to 85 MiB on bootup, I am sure he will chime in here and give some pointers

Tonight I am changing the VSIDO Default theme to DarkModern which means everyone logging in new will be using DarkModern instead of Back n Black

Anyone can still switch to the original Back N Black by going to their Profile and under Look and Layout choose it as their default

DarkModern is written in to use more css3 and has several options that were not available in Back n Black

Regards,

VastOne

Welcome Xtreme to our little slice of the Linux Community!   ;D

Can you elaborate more on what happened with the Liquorix kernel?  Was there any errors, did the installer even start etc..

I apologize for the inconvenience...

^ Correct, and since you outlined the issue so well for others to learn from I thought I would outline the answer for the same reason...  ;D

I see these at least 2-3 times a week and it happens during the times that debian is doing repository updates on their servers

The one you see where it wants to remove everything, is apt not seeing/contacting ANY sid repos. Since Experimental is the second priority option in sources, apt is trying to update all sources to the Experimental packages which we obviously do not want

I usually wait an hour and then retry and all is good

None seen by lwfitz or I as reported here.. http://vsido.org/index.php/topic,100.0.html

Same here lwfitz, I also noticed less memory on startup and in use...

The rest of my testing includes opening 10 tabs in Iceweasel and opening and closing several applications.  The memory usage is a lot lower than the last few kernels, so it has tightened up as expected
