When the resident size of multiload-applet-2 reached 1.0 GiB on a 2 GiB memory system, all sorts of things started failing. This is on a desktop 8.10 lvm installation providing various services to other clients such as apache, svn etc. * hard drives where on 100% iowait (swapping) leading to frozen-soft resetting entries in the system log * my ssh connections became unresponsive after being idle for a few minutes * the system could no longer be updated from repositories * usb keyboards stopped working dpkg -l lists that libgtop2-7 is of version 2.24.0-ubuntu2, which is the leaking version. A fix need to be submitted to 8.10 for this problem It seems the only reason that the whole planet does not run into this is because they either reboot their systems often or do not have the system monitor active as an applet -- Memory leak in libgtop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/319108 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
