Sigh, I've never been able to reproduce this. Despite several people saying it's connected to Chrome Remote Desktop, we also have several reports of it happening without that involved.
I'm currently testing a workaround (committed to trunk) that sets a memory limit on the monitor process, as a quick and dirty hack to alleviate the effects of this bug. If anyone wants to test on their machine, you can edit /etc/xdg/autostart/deja-dup-monitor.desktop to change its Exec line to: Exec=bash -c "ulimit -v 1000000; /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/deja-dup/deja-dup-monitor" X-GNOME-AutoRestart=true (change the x86_64-linux-gnu part as needed) I'd welcome reports of success or failure with this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302416 Title: deja-dup monitor was taking 6GB of memory Status in Déjà Dup: New Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in deja-dup package in Debian: New Bug description: Booted fresh, computer started to be slow and after a while i realized deja-dup monitor was taking 6GB of memory.
