RPI3 running out of memory

sdetweil

@lavolp3 he’s been fighting this for some time now… we’ve both experienced the same problems…
but mine not recently…

I run the same modules and also another one of mine that does additional images, and my systems run on and on… without problems… Pi4 (buster) , jetson Nano(ubuntu) , Pi 3(stretch) , odroid (ubuntu).

we have increased swap space
turned on and off disable cache in electron
he has tried current 3.1.13, and 6.0.12 (as I recall)

I am running electron 3.1.13 on all

@Vizulize

What size SD card do you have?

Have you ran

sudo raspi-config

selected the expand memory the second screen?

I had that problem when first starting MM. No problems any more with 32 GB of space.

@johntech Huh? This is referring to RAM memory, not hard drive space. I was writing to explain how you can extend the swap by using filesystem space to prevent the system crashing from running out of RAM.

Sorry if there was any confusion - I actually manage a Raspberry Pi operating system, so am very familiar with the tools and techniques available.

@Vizulize Sorry noob here just learning!

@johntech no worries! “Memory” is often confused in this context. Hope you learned something 😁
