[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1950026] Re: gnome-shell leaks mem, 13.8G virt, 1.3G reserved after few days of uptime
Also 'virt' memory is not real and should be ignored. I can't tell what you mean by "reserved" memory but next time you encounter the problem please run: ps auxw | grep gnome-shell and paste the output here. ** Summary changed: - gnome-shell leaks mem, 13.8G virt, 1.3G reserved after few days of uptime + gnome-shell leaks mem, 1.3G reserved after few days of uptime -- 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/1950026 Title: gnome-shell leaks mem, 1.3G reserved after few days of uptime Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: gnome-shell leaks memory like crazy. after 4 days of uptime it uses 13.8G virt and 1.3G reserved mem.

Thanks for the bug report. First please look in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell and ensure there is no directory named 'extensions'. If there is one then remove it and log in again. Similarly please open the 'Extensions' app and ensure you only find the three Ubuntu extensions listed. ** Tags added: gnome-shell-leak ** 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/1950026 Title: gnome-shell leaks mem, 1.3G reserved after few days of uptime Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: gnome-shell leaks memory like crazy. after 4 days of uptime it uses 13.8G virt and 1.3G reserved mem.
