freezes...

Which makes me think, since we were talking about the amount of RAM on the
machine:

I have a J720 with 32MB RAM, and, well, OPIE and apps do run out of memory
on a regular basis.

All it takes is a konq/e with a blank page, an opie-console and ipkg running
at the same time, usually. What happens then, I reckon, is that the kernel
decides to kill the qpe/opie main process and the UI freezes completely.

What's the best way of dealing with this, short of pulling the plug and
battery out?

I can ssh into the box and restart opie almost every time this happens, but
that is not always practical (and if I had another keyboard nearby I
wouldn't be using the Jornada at that precise moment, would I?).

I haven't been able to think of a way to get the display and input back to
the console when qpe/opie dies, which would be the lesser evil.

Anyone with any idea how this could be done, or whether there is an
alternative?

 

Cheers

 

Michael
