Public bug reported: I was looking at a system today where the virtual memory usage of gnome- cd was over 700MB. It seems this program leaks over 100kB each minute.
How I assessed this on my own machine: 1) With no cd in the computer, launch "gnome-cd". Just let it sit there. 2) In a terminal, run the following pipeline: while true; do time=$(date +%T) ; ps --no-headers --format "$time %z" $(pgrep gnome-cd); sleep 60; done This will print the virtual memory usage of gnome-cd each minute with a timestamp. You can exit this command with Ctrl-C. ** Affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- memory leak in gnome-cd https://launchpad.net/bugs/44629 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
