Hi All,

I am getting this displayed whenever I start bench in the terminal with bench start command .

WARNING overcommit_memory is set to 0! Background save may fail under low memory condition. To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.

I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and frappe/erpnext v7,and below is my system spec

Please help

Thanks

novice is not a problem, the problem is not willing to use google to search and help yourself, but I’ll help you anyway
in the terminal enter
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
using down arrow in your keyboard go to the end of the file and in new line type
sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1
after that CTRL+C then Y to safe
then you will be back to the terminal, and now you can reboot using
sudo reboot now
