** Description changed: Hey, i got a memory leak on Ubuntu 18.04.2 even in console mode (no X/GUI) the memory usage grows slowly to take all the available RAM when i let the computer running over the night (with just top and irssi), and i have to reboot to get things back to normal. I didn't have this problem on Ubuntu 17.10 but i was still flooded with message about pci aer taking lots of disk space in the logs, but pci=noaer fixed this problem and i had no memory leak. The computer is a common laptop: HP Pavilion. + + This will likely need a custom kernel build that enables DEBUG_MEMLEAK, + see https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.18/dev-tools/kmemleak.html for + how to make use of it.
