Hey Peter, Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty? If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty and run the command: apport-collect bug-number which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.) ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 Title: X memory leak -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 660451] Re: X memory leak
Just figured out what is going on here. It was actually chromium causing the leakage in the X server when it has GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D enabled (it's off by default). I just disabled it, restarted X and now things are working brilliantly again. W h. Now, whether or not there is a bug in chromium, the fact that X leaks memory due to a misbehaving application is clearly not right, so can somebody else who is seeing this (or if you aren't, please try to see if you can trigger the bug by enabling the 2d acceleration in chromium) so we can get the proper information to the developers? -- X memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 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

[Bug 660451] Re: X memory leak
Some more observations: 1) I left the machine on last night and the memory use of X only increased slightly to about 8% of available memory over a period of approximately 12 hours uptime. 2) During one hour of actually trying to get some work done this morning it ballooned to 30%. So it seems like the leakage is related to activity which off hand makes perfect sense... -- X memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 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
[Bug 660451] Re: X memory leak
And just to be sure it wasn't the desktop environment (KDE in my case) that did something wonky with X, I tried running XFCE for the last couple of hours and I can confirm that X is still leaking worse than the Deepwater Horizon. -- X memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 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
[Bug 660451] Re: X memory leak
I have 2 other machines both running maverick without any problems, but this one is simply unusable. I get a few hours uptime before the memory fills up and I need to restart X, which is obviously a royal pain in the rear. After 32 minutes up, X now takes up 1397M VIRT and 476M RES. Both numbers are slowly increasing regardless of activity levels. -- X memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 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

In terms of how quickly it happens, then a few hours use will have X taking up 50% of the memory on this 4GB system. -- X memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 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
