- bigpeopleareold 4y agoAh yeah, that :D But that's a full terminate process/filesystem sync/shutdown + restart ... You got me to look it up: Alt-SysRq-F just for the kernel oom_killer ... On ThinkPads, that's: Press Fn-Alt-S, then release Fn-S, then press the desired letter. Result from dmesg: "[154256.637037] sysrq: This sysrq operation is disabled." Bleh. Didn't work when you needed it :) Of course these can be enabled, but earlyoom is soo much easier than remembering the OOM dance or the REISUB dance (particularly if it is just an OOM :D)
