I have seen the same behavior with Lucid, my machine was up for about one month and during that time I have experienced big I/O waits several times.
I found gnome-power-manager to be the source of the problem so last time I had it I logged some info about the case. The result was: in 6 minutes gnome-power-manager memory consumption has grown from 372MB (which can hardly be called normal, I guess) to 569MB. (Details: http://pastebin.com/YjFjZcqV ) Restarting it is a working workaround of course. -- memory leak in gnome-power-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
