[Bug 138607] Re: gnome-terminal memory leak
I just encountered the same issue in ubuntu 12.10. I had the terminal running for a week or so. Now it consumes 660 MB, tendency rising. Closing single tabs is futile, memory footprint still rises.

Well, there already seem to be lots of bugs upstream, per my previous comments.

[Bug 138607] Re: gnome-terminal memory leak
That option was already off for me. I don't know if this is precisely the same issue, but I have observed that it seems to use an inordinate amount of memory. I previously had a maximum scrollback size of 10 lines, which works out to 62 MB per tab, but my memory usage went a lot over that after prolonged use with about four tabs open at any given time, and didn't drop when I closed the tabs. -- gnome-terminal memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 138607] Re: gnome-terminal memory leak
I have a similar problem too. Here is my attached valgrind output after running for a an hour or so running some compiles so lots of scroll buffer. Konsole and other terminal emulators don't exhibit this large memory usage, but xfce-terminal does. Does it have shared code with gnome-terminal? gnome-terminal was using 13% of memory more than firefox or Xorg. I don't know if the valgrind log really tells much. It looks like it is all cleaned up before exit, but I'm no expert with valgrind. ** Attachment added: Valgrind log of gnome-terminal http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9353108/valgrind.log.3323 -- gnome-terminal memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
