So is this the Linux version of Blu screen?

[-] AProfessional@lemmy.world 34 points 5 months ago
[-] WadeTheWizard@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

That would be an excellent band name.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

Or a terrible name for a military commander.

[-] puppy@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

Colonel Panic. Different spelling though.

That name would be a major ~~pain~~ Payne

[-] froh42@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

He's in General Error's unit.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

That's one of the two reasons it would be a terrible name for a military commander.

Having the word 'panic' in there isn't going to inspire the troops very well.

My band is currently searching for a name. I will add this one to the list.

[-] TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

Make sure to add The Wrong Guts to your list.

Kernel Panic at the /dev/disk/0

[-] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 5 months ago

No, the equivalent would be a kernel panic that the other user had linked. This is a situation where the RAM is fully used and a program's request for memory cannot be fulfilled. This is still a very bad situation because pretty much everything will grind to a halt. The Linux kernel thus makes a decision to kill a process (or multiple) until enough RAM is available again. Usually it kills the process with the most used RAM, but there's methods to influence the decision.

[-] Ooops@kbin.social 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Nope, this is "Your system ran out of memory and now this program isn't reacting anymore (it's trying to allocate memory but there is no free memory left). Please stop the program or try to get rid of some of its subprocesses to free up memory."

[-] cygon@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Not yet. It can lead to that point, but this is just the kernel handling an "out of memory" situation. The kernel in the screenshot is configured to run its OOM reaper / OOM killer.

The OOM reaper checks all running processes and looks for the one that causes the least disruption when killed. It does that by calculating a score which is based on the amount of memory a process uses, how recently it was launched and so on. Ideally, a Linux desktop user would simply see their video game, browser or media player close.

This smart TV is in real trouble, though, it probably already killed its OSD, still didn't even have enough memory to spawn a login shell and is now making short work of strange VLC instances that probably got left behind by a poorly written app store app :)
