remove memory test from ubuntu friendly whitelist (default)

[Victor Tuson Palau]

multiple users a reporting issues with this test, it seems to doing some kind of memory stress testing that is not required for UF

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

So what this test does is it allocates more than free memory (thus forcing swap to be used) for 60 seconds then just free memory for 15 mins. I can't think of a good reason why the second load needs to be run at all unless for performance/load testing purposes. I suggest we change the memory/check test to just do the first part and then create a seperate memory/stress test that can run for as long as we want.

[Victor Tuson Palau (vtuson)]

I would think that is a good long term solution.

I think for the moment we should just remove the test from the default white list, do as you suggest and then put it back. I am concern that the full fix might be too much churn for Oneiric at this point in the release

[Ara Pulido (ara)]

Let's remove from the whitelist first.

Brendan, can you create another bug for your long term solution?
