Created attachment 108567 [details] bug226533.tar.bz2 Having only 128MB of swap is rather unusal nowadays, you should increase it. We know that the memory consumption of the ZYPP library is higher than it would be optimal, especially if you have multiple installation sources, and are continously optimizing it. However, there is nothing we could do about it as maintainance of 10.2. |
yast cant install rpms because it has very poor memory handling. rpm -UVh foo.rpm fails with -ENOMEM. before yast runs: date:~ # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 248 102 146 0 1 45 -/+ buffers/cache: 55 193 Swap: 127 50 77 date:~ # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 248 128 119 0 1 64 -/+ buffers/cache: 62 185 Swap: 127 50 77 date:~ # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 248 245 2 0 0 54 -/+ buffers/cache: 190 58 Swap: 127 57 70 after yast attempts to install the selected packages.
