[Touch-packages] [Bug 1470235] Re: PolicyKit high memory usage
I don't seem to have this issue on 18.04 either, so it seems to be
limited to 14.04.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1470235] Re: PolicyKit high memory usage
I have this issue on 17.10 and 18.04 but I'm not sure if it's related to the original reporter's case because for me I suspect it's related to amdgpu-pro. In earlier distributions the memory leak was elsewhere - I can't remember if it was in xorg or plasmashell, though. I *think* it also happened with fglrx, before amdgpu was released, but that was so long ago now I can't be sure. Regardless, the way I work around this is to restart the polkitd service every now and then. Otherwise, after a few days the memory usage is in the order of *gigabytes*! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470235 Title: PolicyKit high memory usage Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Periodically I install updates on my computer and reboot without logging in.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1470235] Re: PolicyKit high memory usage
I have Linux Mint 17.3 with Multi-Core System Monitor and the same issue with polkitd process. I have noticed that removing the Multi-Core applet from the panel and adding it again, causes polkitd to increase the cpu usage. It started with 4%, after one restart to 8%, then another restart to 12% and then 16%. I have disabled the applet and restarted the system. Now polkitd is at 0% of CPU usage and 7.2Mb of RAM since half hour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470235 Title: PolicyKit high memory usage Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Periodically I install updates on my computer and reboot without logging in.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1470235] Re: PolicyKit high memory usage
This happened to me, too. I installed Multi-Core System Monitor for just a moment and noticed the steadily growing memory usage. Worse, removing the applet did not stop the leak. The leak didn't stop until the next system reboot (presumably restarting polkitd would have also worked, but I didn't try it since I wasn't sure how safe it was). But since there's no way to know if this was the trigger for the original bug report or earlier commenters, perhaps the MCSM case should be opened as a separate, specific bug against policykit? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470235 Title: PolicyKit high memory usage Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Periodically I install updates on my computer and reboot without logging in.
