Thanks for the bug report. Since most bugs like this are caused by extensions, the first thing to try is to uninstall all of them:
'[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]' As a minimum, please run: cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/ rm -rf extensions and then log in again. If the leak occurs after that then please run: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.shell > settings.txt and attach the resulting text files here. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1982938 Title: Gnome-shell uses several GB memory extra Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Gnome-shell on its own uses 10 Gb of memory during normal use.
