Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-notifier-common
Since yesterday I'm experimenting big system slowdowns. I did my research and found out that the programs that were causing it were update-apt-xapi and apt-check. I see there is a bug report filed against the first one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian- index/+bug/363695), but not for the second one. See this screenshot: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28844564/memoryleak.png . Both processes eat up almost all the computer memory. Package: update-notifier-common, v. 0.76.7 Ubuntu release: 9.04 Computer: HP Pavilion, 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB RAM. What to do to reproduce the bug: 1. Open Synaptic/Update Manager 2. Check for updates/install new software 3. When the check/install is finished, update-apt-xapi and apt-check show up and cause extreme slowdown. (It even caused a total hang to my computer and I had to use the Alt-SysReq-REISUB trick to get it working again). Nothing like that used to happen before. I don't remember if those packages were updated recently. I have already removed the apt-xapian-index package, but apt-check is still causing trouble (I can't remove it because network-manager and network-manager-gnome will be removed too if I do so). If any other information is needed, please tell me. ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Big apt-check memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/397544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
