unable to run erlang after otp 27 update

I recently upgraded all my packages which also upgraded erlang to 27. But now it stopped working. I have no idea how to fix it or roll back to erlang 26

Could you create an issue in termux-packages repository in github? I can reproduce the issue in my phone also.

you're on low memory, Erlang need free RAM space for it to run

komo•5/24/24, 7:03 AM

even before Erlang/OTP 27, this has been a known issue for a while

Biswa96•5/24/24, 7:14 AM

has it been reported in github?

Biswa96•5/24/24, 7:15 AM

or, everyone just know that.

BBiswa96 has it been reported in github?

it's a known issue even outside Termux

you can apply a workaround by having swap space or free some apps/processes from your phone

Kkomo even before Erlang/OTP 27, this has been a known issue for a while

Idk, But it was working fine before

Kkomo you're on low memory, Erlang need free RAM space for it to run

And..how much memory does it need

JJuhan And..how much memory does it need

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

last time i got that when i have usage of 1,4gb memory

komo•5/24/24, 1:01 PM

erlang probably need around 500-800mb

Kkomo erlang probably need around 500-800mb

JuhanOP•5/24/24, 2:05 PM

Wtf, why so much

JuhanOP•5/24/24, 2:05 PM

What does it even do with that much memory

Kkomo it's a known issue even outside Termux

I can't find any discussion related to this online. Can you provide a link

JJuhan I can't find any discussion related to this online. Can you provide a link

i don't remember exactly, it's probably in erlang forum site. but i remember erlang will produce an erl_crash.dumperl_crash.dump if it's low on memory and then throw bunch of nonsense error, i guess it's different in OTP 27 now

Kkomo i don't remember exactly, it's probably in erlang forum site. but i remember erl...

I don't think those two errors are related. The error you are mentioning happens when my code uses too much memory. But this is not the case here. I can't even run any erlang binary let alone use too much memory

JuhanOP•5/24/24, 4:05 PM

Can you tell me how can i roll back to otp 26
