OK, I thought from comment #8 that the lockup issue was gone. Have you been able to run Onboard in a terminal (xterm preferred) during the latest lockup?
That graph is certainly interesting, the rise is >30MB/h, at least ten times as much as I see here on either Mageia or Ubuntu. My working theory is still that 1) and 2) have the same cause, i.e. the leak I reported is happening all the time, not just in thunderbird and synaptic. It's just more visible there due to those applications' tendency for high frequency bursts of at-spi events. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1244474 If that is the case, then something must be continuously emitting 10 times as many events on your system as on your test install or on either of my systems. Periodic terminal output in konsole or gnome-terminal could do that. Are there and terminal jobs left that are running all the time? I don't want to rule out Onboard itself leaking, it wouldn't be the first time. I'd even prefer that, it's way easier to fix for me, but the evidence doesn't seem to indicate this is happening. Also, there are many places that could leak, but a lot fewer without interaction. From the top of my head, the only long-term idle activities are handling incoming at-spi events and attempts to auto-save learned word- suggestions (should do nothing when idle). Things you can try: - Run the leaktest1 sample from the gnome-bug report and monitor its memory usage. Does it show a linear increase too? - Stop Onboard from listening to any at-spi events and monitor memory usage. Does it still rise? gsettings set org.onboard.typing-assistance.word-suggestions enabled false gsettings set org.onboard.typing-assistance auto-capitalization false gsettings set org.onboard.typing-assistance auto-correction false gsettings set org.onboard.auto-show enabled false - Turn off anything on your system that periodically generates text in GUI applications, in particular in konsole and gnome-terminal (xterm is fine), and monitor memory usage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to at-spi2-core in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317436 Title: onboard memory usage/cpu increase and lockup Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard: Invalid Status in “at-spi2-core” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am running onboard in Mageia 5 (Cauldron) and recently I'm seeing a total lock-up of onboard after the machine has been running for over 24 hours. The tray icon is there but does nothing. At this point onboard is using 25% cpu and 880MB ram.. I am attaching the memory usage analysis for onboard (after the lockup) in the hope that it will be of use. In the meantime I will try to monitor memory usage over a day to see if this increase is gradual or happens suddenly.
