CPU/Memory

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

I have 2 machines running fedora 20, one from 2007 with a dual processor
and 3 Go, and a recent one (2013) with a quad processor an 8 Go.
But it is a lot more convenient to use the old machine!!!
The recent one is always busy, 4 processors running
53.1 55.9 /usr/bin/python -Es /usr/sbin/setroublesootd -f
 and the memory becomes full quickly requiring swapping!!
8 Go for the OS and firefox! Something is wrong.

Should I kill setroublesootd?

What is wrong? I cannot see.

Thank.

The first thing is to see why you're getting AVC denials from SELinux
in the first place. setroubleshootd should only fire if it's getting
denials. Try running "sealert -b" and see if you're getting denials and
what you can do about them.

I would bet you have a mislabeled machine that is generating hundreds of
AVC's.

ausearch -m avc -ts today

If the system is mislabeled, the easiest thing to do would be

touch /.autorelabel; reboot

Hello,

Thank.

I did a relabelling, and it seems a lot better.
