  • Bug#1070674: gnome-settings-daemon: No oom-kill notifications

    The systemd OOM notification functionality of gnome-settings-daemon is broken on Debian. On Fedora, a notification is shown when a process is OOM-killed. On
    Debian, it only works after applying the attached patch, which calls the Subscribe() method of org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager. It's not clear to me why it works without the patch on Fedora.

    I also created an issue and MR upstream, but upstream is waiting on a confirmation that the systemd behavior (not sending the PropertiesChanged signal unless Subscribe() was called) is expected.

    Upstream issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings- daemon/-/issues/790

    Are you still affected by this issue? I saw OOM notifications in both
    Debian Testing and Ubuntu 25.04 yesterday.

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    Jeremy Bícha (2025-04-19):
    Are you still affected by this issue? I saw OOM notifications in both
    Debian Testing and Ubuntu 25.04 yesterday.

    The fix was merged upstream in the version that's in Trixie, so I'm
    not surprised this now works!

    I think you can close this bug :)

    I already have on my To-Do list to test this on Trixie,
    so if there's still any issue I'll open a new bug.

    Cheers,
