Summary0008936: 2024.3 Out Of Memory
Description

Out Of Memory all kernels in 2024.3
###############
x1 carbon gen11
i7-1360P
32Gb Ram
1Tb ssd
################

Open the "system monitor" on full screen.
Watch how the RAM fills up and the cache fills up.
When the memory is full, an uncontrolled reboot will occur.
This is shown on the example of the system monitor. It happens to me suddenly, during normal operation in the system, until I found any applications during operation. but apparently it does not depend on them.
I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on this laptop and never had such a problem.
If you need additional information, tell me, I'll try to post it.

  1. It would have been nice to know which kernel you are using.
  2. I cannot replicate this on my Carbon X11 Gen 11 - thus, it might be specific to your system.

I think I can shed some light on this.
Here's my method of generating an out of memory condition:

  1. Ensure the system has at least 1 more user than the default one.
  2. Log in as one of the users.
  3. Run a Task Manager and turn on the "Show all processes"setting.
    Click on "RSS" to sort by memory usage, highest first.
  4. Click the power button on the taskbar and click "Switch User".
  5. Log in as a different user.
  6. Repeat step 3.

Watch the Xorg process running in the background, it will slowly eat up more and more memory.
If you followed the above example exactly, it should be "Xorg :0 ..." eating the memory.
If you switch users, then the other Xorg process will do it instead.

You can recover lost memory by logging out the afected user, logging back in and restarting programs.
You shouldn't have to do that to prevent a system crash.

If this is related to LightDM/Xorg/XFCE, then this is not a Kali issue, as these packages are supplied within Kali by Debian upstream. If that's the case, you should be raising this issue within Debian or the respective package owners.
