How much memory is each of these applications using? Use 'top' to find out (sort by memory usage). Don't look only at the applications listed, there might be another one eating up the memory. Also you should have most of your memory used as cache, if not there is a very memory demaning application you have running there. > > How I can find the problem, please don't tell me reboot the system, I > mean this is not Windows. You shouldn't have to reboot your system, that is not a solution. Try to find out which app is responsible for most of this memory usage, and try restarting that application only, and see if the performance improves. Once you pinpointed the leaking application, try to reproduce the memory leaks, and note down the steps, if successfull, file a bugreport. > Second, please > also don't tell me that Linux work in this way, I mean after > approximate 20 days I can't used nothing. I'm sure it is possible to get an uptime of more than 20 days, and have everything running as supposed to. > > Thank you very much, and please help me. > > Gustavo Halperin > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
