Yes the same bug is present in 10.04 and it uses a huge amount of memory over time, days for example.

[Bug 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
If you have a crapload of files in your home dir, then rythmbox, in its infinite wisdom will try and index your complete home dir, and also try to setup an inotify against every file it finds, which from memory (and strace) will eventually cause it to get reams and reams of ENOSPC returns, which it ignores and bravely continues on requesting more inotify. (yes, that is a bug). To change the defaults from this insane behaviour, kill it (if you haven't already) and restart. Immediately after restarting, go into Edit - Preferences - Music and untick the Watch my library for new files and then exit again, to ensure any indexing it spawned off won't be left running to completion Then optionally once you restart, go back to the same menu, and where it has Music files are placed in, go and enter a single sane dir where you want it to index. i.e. /home/mymusic or whatever. There isn't a way in the gui to see where it will go index, so check the XML file in $HOME/.gconf/apps/rhythmbox/ and check %gconf.xml for library_locations to make sure it doesn't have a bunch of junk paths. Finally, if you are brave, you can try experimenting with re-enabling the Watch for new files - and see if it sticks to the path you gave it above. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
I'm getting something like this too. Running lucid, rhythmbox has started to become unresponsive after seconds of it starting. It'll then swallow 100% of CPU and 1.1 GiB of memory, and sit there bloated until I kill it. Ran without issue on karmic and for the first few days on lucid, so I have no idea what's changed, sorry. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
Looked through and could not find any other one that addressed this but I'm now having this issue in Lucid (yes i know, it's beta) I ran rhythmbox on 9.10 with no issue unless I left it open for days (5 to 10) in which case I would see it clime to 500 MB maybe 600. Now I can max out the available memory in maybe an hour. This is on the same system. I just did an in place install. If I close rhythmbox then the memory is released and I can start it up again, but in an hour or two it will max out the memory again. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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

I'll pipe in here. I just killed rhythmbox because: ps axo rss,command:50,pid | sort -nr | head -1 366280 rhythmbox 2452 Really? After restarting it, it's at about 30MB. I can't imagine why playing a list of OGG files is so demanding, but apparently it is. I'll just have to switch to mpd until this is resolved. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
Hmm, I've noticed that when i press next song key on my keyboard Rhythmbox is using aditional memory... It's the same with automatic shifting the song, Rhythmbox use extra memory for that! But, probably that is not the problem because leak is too big. I'm using Karmic now, and there is no memory leak in Rhythmbox, except shifting song problem, that was(is) present in Jaunty too. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
Just want to bump this bug to make sure it's still being looked at. I'm still having this issue with Ubuntu 9.04. My library is 2.2gb and after leaving Rhythmbox open for 6 hours Rhythmbox is using just shy of 900MB of ram. For those of us with only 2GB of ram this is a serious hog, plus it's cranking my hard drive due to swap and I'm worried about burnout. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
Just wanted to confirm that I appear to be seeing the same bug in Ubuntu 9.04, albeit in the 32-bit kernel (2.6.28-15-generic). There seems to be a specific trigger before memory starts leaking on my system. RAM usage is pretty reasonable for a while, from about 25-30MB while doing normal tasks in Rhythmbox, then something happens and it starts using 10 extra MB of RAM every two seconds or so. This is in a relatively small music collection, 270 songs totalling 1.1 GB. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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 420842] Re: Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox
This is reproducible on my machine just by leaving RhythmBox open for a long period of time. One day when it was on for a couple weeks it had something like 100GB VIRT, resident was pretty high most of my RAM was taken by it and tons of swapping was happening. On this machine I have a somewhat large music collection, ~20k audio files, not sure if it has something to do with large libraries. -- Huge memory leak in Rhythmbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420842 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
