Out of Memory with LR 1.1 - yes, just point me to the FAQ or something

Yes, I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, but I've yet to see an actual description of the problem and possible solutions that actually work.
I run LR1.1 on Windows XP with 2gb ram.
1.1 is still slow, it's a super pig when you have >10k images. I just can't take the out of memory issues any longer. Starting and restarting LR every 10 minutes is really boring.
anyone, anyone....? Come on, blaming it on XP is lame, UNLESS you can describe to me exactly why this is happening.
Or, is this one of those bugs that the LR team punted b/c it really is an OS issue, yet they could do a fix, but fixing it would be too expensive?

Hooray!
After struggling with issues similar to yours on a fast computer running Windows XP Professional, I found the solution!!
According to someone's post, Lightroom 1.1 has virtual memory problems. This is solved very simply by turning off (deselecting the checkbox) to automatically write changes to XMP in the catalog settings. Then after you have developed or made changes to an image, simply select the image and under photo menu, press "save metadata to file" (Control/Command S). Apparently Lightroom is trying to read/write the metadata on every image when this "automatically write changes to XMP" is selected. This is why CPU resources are going up so high and why your images will not load quickly in the develop module.
Try this, I think this is the answer to many problems not associated with faulty database conversions.
Good Luck with this tip.

I have been using my iPad with sim for weeks now, just 24 hrs ago the message I am having is no SIM card installed, I tried it with some other SIM card same same still pop up. What can I do pls

ok, I did, and it said again congrats your iPhone is unlocked, but, when it said there was a new carrier update, I cancelled it, but, it asked me again, I cancelled again, I guess I'm scared it will lock it again if I allow the carrier update.
Oh, there it goes again, this time on the phone, arg. I hit update, I hope it doesn't freak out.
I'm glad I didn't destroy the SIM like I almost did. But, it will come out again, longer battery life with the cell portion turned off.

Out of memory with no swap causes disk activity

Can someone explain what exactly is being read/written from/to disk in this situation?
I have 2 GB of RAM and no swap partitions. Occasionally I'll forget how inefficient gwenview is at displaying very large images and accidentally double-click one. The entire system freezes; even alt+sysrq keystrokes are ineffective (and yes I do have them enabled).
For about 5 minutes, the system is locked up and the hard drive light is flickering. That scares me a bit, because with no swap, what could it possibly be doing for 5 straight minutes? I used to think it was synching before doing the OOM-killing, but there's no way a sync could take that long. Judging from the sound of the hard drive, it's hda (the drive / and all the other system partitions are on).
A few times after recovering from this I've run extensive data verification and never found any evidence of corruption, but I'd like to know for sure that the kernel isn't randomly deciding to use some filesystem as swap space.
In the mean time, I'm playing with disabling overcommit -- setting vm.overcommit_memory = 2 in /etc/sysctl.conf. That enforces a hard memory commit limit of swap size + overcommit_ratio * ram size (so I've read) -- and I've also read that the default overcommit_ratio is only 50%. What the bloody hell? It's almost like someone thinks swap is more important than RAM -- hell-llo, I have 2 GB of RAM so that I can get *away* from swap!
Anyway, I've set the ratio to 97% and so far things seem happy -- if I deliberately run out of memory, the process that did it always gets killed instantly and the system doesn't freeze up on OOM anymore."
Another thing -- in all my out of memory situations so far, VMWare has been running. I suppose it's possible that VMWare is the one doing the swappage; I'll have to investigate that further.
~Felix.

I think I've finally figured this out. It's a kernel bug -- I'm guessing that under normal circumstances, the "cached" column in the free command "doesn't count" towards how much memory the system thinks it's using. After all, it's just cached copies of stuff that should be elsewhere, and if you run out of memory, you can safely dump that, right? Unfortunately, /dev/shm is counted under cached rather than used memory (as I discovered in an earlier post).
So if I've got 500 MB of stuff in /dev/shm * (which is where I mount my /tmp), there's now 500MB of stuff in the "cached" column that really does count -- system reaches all RAM full, decides it needs to dump cache, and suddenly finds that the 500MB it thought it could use isn't usable. For some reason it takes about 5 minutes of hard drive thrashing (probably because it's already chucked all of the system libraries, etc. out of cached and needs to re-read them from disk every time) before something finally figures out that it really is out of memory and that that 500MB isn't letting go and invokes OOM-killer.
*: VMWare does this; it creates a 512MB file (the amount of RAM in my virtual machine) then hides it by keeping the file open and deleting it, so the inode's still there, but you can't see it and it makes the df command really perplexing... but that's another story.
I haven't had a chance to try this with a newer kernel (maybe they've fixed it now?); I'm still running 2.6.23-ARCH here. (pacman -Syu upgrades are a major production for me because I have lots of RAID arrays and things, and an nvidia graphics card, and I use gnucash which sometimes needs manual recompiling, and so on...)

Out of memory with lots of memory

this is the log output:
05/08/27 19:18:05 Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()=856 M
05/08/27 19:18:05 Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()=1012 M
05/08/27 19:18:05 In use=156 M
05/08/27 19:18:05 Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()=1012 M
05/08/27 19:18:09 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
as u see there are enough memory and still out of memory error comes.
I run standalone server with 1.5GB ram. heap size is set to 1024 and also Xss and MaxPermSize are set to appropriate sizes.
what could be the error source ?

That must be puzzling. I do not have the answer, but a little more data from you would be helpful.
If you are using Windows, can you go to task manager to verify how much memory your java process is using? On unix, the command "top". Set your MaxPerSize to 256M just for sure. If the process hangs when the OutOfMemoryError happens, do a full stack dump by "ctrl+break" on Windows or "ctrl+^" on unix/linux to see what is happening. If a stackTrace of the thread that causes the OutOfMemoryError can be obtained, that will be the most helpful.

Out Of Memory with tons of free mem

I need help diagnosing a problem I'm having with a server application.
The problem:
I'm getting general flakeyness and sometimes "OutOfMemory: cannot create new native thread" after the application has been running several hours (with 150 or so logins and 300 or so signs rendered).
The environment:
We run Tomcat 3.2.4, Xalan2, JAXP1.1, mysql w/ mm.sql JDBC driver v1.2.0.13, JDK 1.3.1_03
on a SunFire v880 w/ 4 processors, 8Gig RAM running Solaris 8. JVM args set to -server -Xms3g -Xmx3g -XX:NewSize=1024m -XX:MaxNewSize=1024m -XX:SurvivorRatio=16 -XX:+DisableExplicitGC
What I've tried:
I've run under OptimizeIt and found only small amounts of mem being consumed ongoing. Something the GC ought to be able to handle. I've played with the GC parameters in an effort to get this problem under control. I monitor the freemem and can see it go up and down through out the day. The lowest freemem has come down is to 900Meg, then bounces back up to 2.7Gig or so. I suspected fragmentation, but from what I read, hotspot shouldn't allow that to happen.
That exception is thrown from native code in "jvm.cpp" in the JVM_StartThread() method. Comments say it could happen when memory is low (duh).
Our App:
We render in store signs for a major US department store. Our app provides simplified sign composition. We render the signs for printing (generating postscript for the printers). Sometimes we deal with buffers as large as 112Meg. We use XML for sign templates and jobs. We spit out XML from servlets, using XSLT to transform to HTML for the browser. Our sign templates use some XSLT to add common things into the templates as they are loaded. We support image upload to a repository that the sign creators can use in the signs. So, we deal with lots if image data and XML throughout the app. We hit the database throughout the workflow.
HELP!

Hi,
I had the same problem under Linux, but found a solution:
There are 2 different factors for this problem.
There is the "Xss" option of Java and the "stack size"
as reported/set by ulimit:
ulimit -acore file size (blocks) 0
data seg size (kbytes) unlimited
file size (blocks) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) unlimited
open files 1024
pipe size (512 bytes) 8
stack size (kbytes) 8192
cpu time (seconds) unlimited
max user processes 16896
virtual memory (kbytes) unlimited
When using java 1.3.1, the "Xss" option is ignored, so
only the "stack size" of ulimit counts. Setting the
stack size using ulimit is done using the -s option:
ulimit -s 8129This sets the stack size per Java thread to 8MB.
The default stack size in Redhat Enterprise Server 3.1
is 10MB. When a Java thread is started, this 10MB is not taken
immediately, but the Linux kernel does guarantee this thread 10MB
if it needs it. Suppose you hava 2GB memory in your machine, then
after starting 200 Java threads, the light goes out even though
"top" reports 1.5GB of free memory. The memory is free, but the
kernel has already promised all of it to the 200 executing Java
threads.
Under java 1.4.2, the Xss option is not ignored. It has the same
effect as the "stack size" set by ulimit; specifying a large amount
of memory for Xss will limit the amount of threads you can start.
Using java 1.4.2 it seems these settings both have to be tuned.

Out of Memory with 64MB?

I've made a decent sized application (771k jar) and run it just
fine using the jre 1.1.6 on my machine with 128MB of memory.
When I run it on any 64MB machine (everything else is the same),
it gets realllllly slow and has trouble loading the last 1/3 of
classes and then the database connection times out. It looks
like it's running out of memory, but what can I do to fix this?
Surely it shouldn't be running out with 64MB (it's not that big
an application and I don't have a ton of data in memory or
anything).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin Williams

I have the same problem with this version on Mac OS 10.9.1 with 16GB RAM, 2TB hard drive, 1,7TB available. I have to restart InDesign after a while, it happens even with single page INDD files without any image. I have informed some form the InDesign team but I have not enough hard facts to submit a bug report, it is not happening all the time but when it starts it is anoying.
Which other programs are running at the very same time? Backgound? I want to know it to find why it is happening here and why it is happening with you so that I can gather some hard facts to submit a bug report.

Out of Memory with InDesign CC

I have a new computer (ASUS-Windows 8 (I hate it), Intel Core i7-4700HQ [email protected], 16 GB DDRS, 64-bit OS, x64-based processor, 1024 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive, 256 GB Solid-State Drive). While working in InDesign CC on a 24 page newsletter, I get an "out of memory" popup that forces me to leave InDesign. I have done this newsletter for the past ten years, so the parameters have never changed. I've had no problems until using CC. I have a creative cloud membership (I love it). This also happened on my old computer. I'd done this same project on my old computer for three years using CS4 and CS6. When I downloaded CC, I got the "out of memory" popup. This prompted me to buy a new computer (which I figured it was time anyway). But now I have the same problem. I bought the best computer I could afford and I don't think I'm lacking in any area.
Any thoughts?

There's something about that newsletter that is corrupt. Have you been using the same file for the last ten years? Or the same art, logos, etc.? You may want to trash it and rebuild from scratch, or at least export INX/IDML and reopen & resave.
My clients mostly ignored my advice to not open old INDDs in CC and resave, but instead to export INX or IDML and open that in CC. So I've seen quite a few buggy documents over the last two months.
I'm pretty sure that 100% of the "out of memory" errors I've encountered using InDesign since CS1 have boiled down to bugs or corrupt documents or memory leaks, not actual problems with the size of my publications and the amount of memory installed.

Out of memory with 16gb ram?

I am running CS4 on an 3.0 8 Core Mac Pro with 16gb of ram and a raid 0 scratch drive made from 6x15k drives. I had my memory usage set to 92% with 10.5.6. I recenetly upgraded to Snow Leoaprd and was working on a 3mb file, with no other applications runining, besides firefox. I was trying to use the quick selection tool and when I tried taking away from the selection I got the "out of memory (ram)" error. So I dropped the ram usage for ps it down to 85% and that seemed to work. Is this normal for Snow Leoaprd? In the past, people had recommended that if you had over 10gb of ram to set your ram usage to 100%, but I see that must no longer be the case?
Thanks,
Steve

Now I just tried opening up one page of a 9pg pdf file in CS4, and I got the "not enough memory" error again? I have 10.5.6 on another drive, so I went back to that operatinig system and tried opeing the same file in CS4 with the memory usage set at 92% and it opened up fine.

"Out of memory" - with silly proportions

Hello everyone,
Even though I´m not the most frequent user of Encore, I do DVD-productions in my studies from time to time. So I was surprised to get an error on my new computer configuration, and cannot help to think that it might be something wrong that I do not know of.
I run a Wintel with;
* Windows 7, 64-bit Ultimate (updated, genuine build - as in no beta/RC)
* 8Gb RAM
* HDD´s with at least 20Gb left on system drive and 60Gb left on drive with projects
* CS4, Master edition (updated, student licence)
trying to render a project with;
* ONE menu, 6 chapters
* A 3second transition-effect
* A pre-rendered (Premiere) "DVD-MPEG2" file that is a total of 1,1Gb in size
and no matter how I do it (making new timelines, re-render the main file, burn directly vs ISO-file vs folder) - I get a "Out of memory"-fail at the end of the creation.
So how can it go wrong? Is it that Encore CS4 is not "compatible" with Win7 64-bit or what? Since Win7 and getting 8Gb of RAM is the only thing that is "new" since I last rendered a DVD.
Thank you for your quick replies, I need to get this sorted for a presentation today... preferably.
Best regards

Running out of memory with Tomcat !!!!!

Hello gurus and good folk:
How can I ensure that the a JSP page that sets a ResultSet doesn't run out of memory? I have set the X flag to j2Se to be 1024mb and still runs out of memory! The size of the data being queried is only 30 MB. One would think the JDBC driver will be optimized for large ResultSet. Any pointers will be very helpful.
Many thanks
Murthy

Hi
As far as i believe, 30 mb data is pretty big for an online app. If you have too many rows in ur resultset, you could(or should) consider implementing paging and fetch x records at a time. Or you could just have a max limit for the records to be fetched(typically useful for 'search and list' type of apps) using Statement.setMaxRows(). This should ensure that Out of memory errors do not happen.
If your data chunk per row is large, consider displaying only a summary in the result and fetching the 'BIG' data column only when required(e.g. fetch the column value for a particular row only when that row is clicked).
Hope this helps !

General error and out of memory with Final Cut Pro 6

I just upgraded to a Mac mini i7. What setting should I use to avoid these errors?

So you were successful in getting FCS 2 apps installed in Mountain Lion?
Are these messages you're getting now or ones that you have gotten in the past using FCP?
Out of memory warnings often caused by still images that are not RGB or trying to use unsupported media.

When playing a home video DVD using DVD Player I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

When playing a home video DVD (created on my Panasonic DVD/Hard Disc recorder) using the Mac DVD Player, I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. I assume that any file created by this action would be stored somewhere in a common format but cannot find any such file. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi Sinious,
Interesting to know about 10.8 and Flash. I'll hold off upgrading until they work together. Currently using 10.6.8 at home and same on the Universtity's computers.
Haven't verified on Windows but shall do later in the week if I can get access to a Windows machine.
Both the Flash player and the Projector come up not full screen, and if I leave it that way then things work OK as long as I don't make the video full screen (using the full screen button on the skin).
However if I make the swf or projector full-screen (by using CMD-F or the menu option) then when I click on the menu item to take me to the page with the video on it, instead of a page with a smallish video and back button I get a black screen with no obvious controls. If I then press Escape I get my normal screen back and I am in the page that should have the video but there is not video and the back button does not work. So something wierd is going on here.
If I make a file without any videos with a similar navigation structure everyting works ok except that when I go full screen I lose the finger cursor when I roll over my buttons (which is also wierd).

Am I out of luck with my new phone I just bought?

None of my usb plugs work(open up Itunes). I have vista 32 bit and my nano works just fine. I tried all three of my usb ports on my pc an no luck. Help?

The most common fix for this issue under Windows XP and Vista is to remove and re-install iTunes. The process is as follows:
Quit iTunes if it is open
From the Start menu select the Control panel
In Windows XP, choose Add or Remove Programs. In Windows Vista, choose Uninstall a program.
Select iTunes from the list of applications then click Remove (XP) or Uninstall (Vista). Also remove any other items with the word “iTunes” in their names. Also remove any iPod-related entries.
Restart your PC.
Delete the iTunes program itself, if it still exists after the steps you’ve already taken (by default it’s located in the “Program Files” folder)
Again restart your PC.
Download the latest version of iTunes for Windows and install it.
Bad USB 2.0 cables can also be to blame in some cases of failed transfer. Try switching out the cable for another, or switching USB ports. You may also want to try disconnecting other USB devices from the same bus as the iPhone, isolating it.

Recently decomissioned old SCCM 2007 server and replaced with 2012 R2- How do I point everything to the new SCCM server?

I've tried many things that I've found in articles. Gone as far as ADSI edit. Not sure what else I can do. The old server was setup by someone else and never really worked correctly. I'd basically like to start fresh with this new install.
Thanks
James A+, Network+, MCP

Follow my R2 install guide to get your site up.
http://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/sccm-2012-r2-step-by-step-installation-guide/
You won't need to extend the schema if this has already been done for the 2k7 site. The System Management container could already exist. If so add in permissions for the new site server. If not create and follow the guide. Once done set up your boundaries
and discovery methods accordingly. Once you start to populate the console with clients then installing the client will remove the old 2k7 client (if it was installed) as part of the 2012 client install.
