comment:1 by Stefan, 13 years ago

workaround => reduced guest memory from 8 to 7 GB

comment:2 by Stefan, 13 years ago

workaround2 => grow swap space (from nearly zero to 500MB)

Is it right - if the system runs out of free mem and swap is full that the apps must die like above?

comment:3 by Frank Mehnert, 13 years ago

Yes, that is indeed true. A swap partition of at least 256 MB is suggested.
