The quick:
Dom0 Task Manager shows memory usage percent as always increasing.
Closing Virtual Machines does not seem to free up any memory by
displayed memory usage percent.
Could it be you are confused with "used" vs. "free" ignoring cache and
buffers? Usually Linux minimizes "free" that is unused memory.
The questions:
Are there any advice on what I should do with this situation?
Should I clean out Qubes memory buffer/catch? If so, what safe command
should be used?
Or, if that isn’t the issue, what should I look for? What more
information do you good elves need to help the issue?
The slow:
I noticed this situation a good week ago when I looked at Dom0 task
manager. It showed my memory usage to be around 95%, that is a lot. The
computers total memory capacity is 32gig. My normal memory usage tend to
be around 35-40%, a fairly steady level measured over long time. After
seeing my memory maxing out I attempted to close down one virtual
machine after the other, but it did not appear to make any difference in
terms of freeing up memory. So I decided to restart my computer and that
made everything back to normal—for a little while. Starting my normal
virtual machines and got to the normal memory usage level. But then it
just kept adding on, a disposable machine opened and closed and the
memory usage increased, another virtual machine opened and the memory
increased, closing it did not affect the memory level. And so it kept
adding on more and more memory usage as I did my normal computing things
like browsing and so on. In writing moment I’ve reached 93% of memory
capacity.
The extra:
Please, treat me as a newbie. Although I’ve been using Qubes OS for
several years (its pretty cool operating system, thank you creators and
maintainers <3) without being knowledgeable about command line interface
(avoiding it when possible), I remain a GUI person and don’t really want
a cure for it.
Thank you for your time.
