Bug Description

12.04 lts Server

When mathematica starts it trigers the nxagent proccess to rapidly expand its memory usage until it is killed by the os because its out of memory, this kills the session

i attached some log files is they are of any use, i have no idea where to start on this issue and would really apreciate some help
I can only suspect its a nx problem since mathematica works fine over xrdp

I have just encountered exactly this problem on a completely different system running opensuse 12.3, so I wondered whether you had managed to find out any more information?

Hello Bob,

sorry for the late response, unfortunately all i could do is narrow down
the circumstances, this only seems to occur when the splash screen of
Mathematica pops up over NX, you can choose to not show it at start up
and Mathematica runs fine but once you close the application the splash
screen shows up again and it crashes NX.
The workaround i opted for was to use Ubuntu 10.04, i.e. something
pre-Unity since no one here has addressed this issue here and i haven't
got any response from Mathematica Support on this matter either.

Greetings
Victor
