Comment 0 for bug 1163651

this machine is a Dell inspiron 1520 , with 2 GB of RAM , and 200 GB of HDD .. running ubuntu 13.04 up to date, left the machine for 30 minutes and screen lock is set to ON!

unlocked the screen then fired up totem to watch a movie , after a couple minutes the following message showed up :

"Sorry, the program "gnome-shell" closed unexpectedly Your computer does not have enough free memory to automatically analyse the problem and send a report to the developers."

then, the X-system was forced to logout to the login manager .. logged back in, and the same popup message appeared again , so my suspicion was that it might be an abnormal CPU usage as it's showing a the following screen shot /
