Videos slow to load and choppy when accessing from network drive (WDMyCloud). Switched to kernel 4.15 as you did and all is well! Thanks for the headsup!
Thank you for the report. I help out at MX Linux, primarily with testing, and would like to see if I can replicate the problem you had with the supplied kernel. Would you be able to tell me what web browser you were using to access UA-cam, and how you enabled video playback overnight?
I was using the Chrome browser, and was watching a live stream, France 24, that runs continuously. I have since been able to replicate it by enabling autoplay on UA-cam.
@@xramtech7581 Thank you for the reply. I tested this with a fresh install of MX-18, just adding Chrome, and keeping the 4.19 kernel. The test machine had 2GB RAM. I left it running France 24 for 12 hours. At the start, it was using 48% of RAM; after 12 hours, RAM usage had only risen to 53%, and it remained responsive. Perhaps you have Chrome add-ons that leak memory? Or your machine has less that the minimum recommended 2GB RAM?
@@chrispop99 Thanks. i have 4 GB (3.74 GiB) RAM. I have AdBlock Plus installed in Chrome, and will try without it, but it does not leak with kernel 4.15. I'll keep on testing, and let you know what I experience.
Today, 12-29-18, I did a fresh install from the MX 18 ISO on an external drive, and had the same memory leak. No add-ons to Chrome, but it wasn't leaking to Chrome, it was leaking to the unknown.
@@xramtech7581 Do you have the same issue with Firefox? Could you try to revert back to the kernel 4.19 and uninstall haveged replacing it with rng-tools? If it doesn't change, uninstall rng-tools and reinstall haveged of course. Cheers
Thanks for the headsup. I got the automatic update but never upgraded the kernel. I won't update it now.
