Yes this is what I get as well. I was shocked to see MATE using 230M with nothing running. It was quite a bit less in Precise. htop shows lightdm using 31M. Switching to slim and lxdm saved memory, but they are not as useful.

Decided to use mdm borrowed from mint nadia instead, until lightdm is fixed. Programs that use insane amounts of RAM to their expected usage are prolly broken in other ways too, and can jolly well desist until they behave. Works OK apart from the (common) mistake a lot of Xsession things make, i.e. using bashisms in a sh, and expecting no errors. Changing #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash keeps your ~/.xesssion-errors from getting off to a bad start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1074279 Title: lightdm uses more physical memory than X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1074279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
