[ATI 12.3] Out of kernel memory.

English Hardware
1

Hello. I’ve made upgrade from 12.2 to 12.3 and I started getting errors.
The most often are :

  • [TTM] Out of kernel memory (this is killing plasma and kwin)
  • VFS: file-max limit 203126 reached

I’ve deleted fglrx and changed KMS to “no”.
Mój laptop is asus f5sl-ap023.

I attached logs of dmesg and xsession-errors :

(I’m sorry they are not on pastebin but they were too big)

I’m hoping somebody will help me because I can’t deal with it on my own.

You need to use SuSE Paste for such text file and give us a link here in your next message: SUSE Paste

When I look this up it says it cause by a graphic problem. You could try a newer kernel perhaps, but I did not see you say what kind of video system your computer is using. For a kernel upgrade, see this blog: S.A.K.C. - SUSE Automated Kernel Compiler - Version 2.80 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thank You,

Today another kernel error.
Log 1 : SUSE Paste
Then a lots of :
[TTM] Out of kernel memory
and then :
Log 2 : SUSE Paste

My kwin died and plasma too. Finally I was logged out to some text message.

I can only say that either the “upgrade” did not go well (Look at the procedure: SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE Wiki), the upgrade media was corrupted or you have a hardware problem or incompatibility. Tell us how you did the upgrade and specify all of your computer hardware such as video. How much memory do you have? Upgrades done improperly can cause such issues for instance and often the only fix is a clean install of openSUSE.

Thank You,

Please don’t forget the other procedure:

I’ve got 2Gb DDR2.
I’ve done the update by:
zypper patch (with 12.2 repos)
turn off 12.2 repos
add 12.3 repos
zypper dup
zypper patch

So there is no chance for rescue and only way can be format and reinstall clean suse?

jdmcdaniel3 mentioned at least another possibility involving the hardware.

I don’'t think I have hardware problem or incompatibility. On 11.4 and 12.2 this haven’t happened.
Media… I only tried to upgrade fglrx legacy.
I turned on system and it doesn’t want to start, so I logged in safe mode and realized I have got fglrx legacy from 12.2. I tried to change fglrx legacy to 12.3 but it doesn’t helped at all. Then guys from #suse told me that suse 12.3 doesn’t support fglrx legacy. I’ve uninstalled it and laptop usually stopped on 1 boot, I turned it off it with button, turned on and in second boot it started pretty fast.
Then somebody told me to change NO_KMS_IN_INITRD to “no” and I’ve done so.

My observation is that it happened (maybe even 100% of crashed) when I’ve used Krusader. I can’t even using Clementine because during copying some stuff my sound for 5 second and then 5 seconds of silence. To compare when I use rsync + clementine it doesn’t happen. We will see.

Also I tried to create new account with clean KDE profile. On the first I’ve received strange kwin error. My noticed appeared twice (under notice plasma icon and in left corner). I couldn’t mount my external hdd in truecrypt (after upgrade TC asks me twice about root password on this new profile he do it only one and I can’t access the hdd) and I think I can possibly find more funny things if I could stay there for more.

Thanks for any suggestions !
I think I will reinstall 12.2 If I could not find solution to my problem.
