[Bug 784651] [NEW] memory hog under 11.04
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus Nautilus, along with many standard applications, has been gobbling up all 4Gb of my RAM ever since I've upgraded to Natty. I have a feeling the extra effects enabled (which I can't seem to *disable*) such as compiz are putting unnecessary burden on my resources. Everything is all around slower, which is rather disappointing to be perfectly honest; before the upgrade I could handle browsing the web *and* having a few directories open, but now each program takes at least 1Gb of memory each, and the constant swapping to and from disk makes X grind to a halt.

[Bug 784651] Re: memory hog under 11.04
I'd also like to note this isn't by any means a underpowered rig; I built it a few months ago with gaming and CPU intense tasks such as compiling and multimedia work in mind. Surely a quad core Phenom II clocked at 3.2GHz is overkill for linux, right? I've got a Radeon HD 5670 for the graphics grunt-work, so it's not like the CPU is doing double duty. Is there a way to disable Compiz, or am I stuck with all of the graphics quirks and wasted memory? (Yes, I know it's pretty, but I'd rather put those resources to better use) I mean, the only thing that has significantly changed since Maverick (which was having similar issues too.) is the mandatory compiz effects. On Maverick once compiz is disabled, everything runs fine and dandy. I'll look into what has changed system load wise since the upgrade; I have collectd running to make sure I catch any nasty problems before they come back to bite me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784651 Title: memory hog under 11.04 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 784651] Re: memory hog under 11.04
Sorry for the triple post, but here are a few graphs for an before and after comparison of system utilization. The last week is shown, and I upgraded late sunday, the two blank intervals of time being mandatory reboots after the upgrade finished. Notice how rapidly the memory and swap usage rises when the system is being used; before upgrading, physical ram usage would raise and hold around 3Gb, almost never needing to swap to disk and remaining snappy and responsive. The next day, I hop on to check my email, read the new entries on hackaday, and listen to some music. This is very light compared to what I usually put that system through, yet it eats all of the available ram and needs significant amounts of swap to run. The sharp decline tuesday night shows me killing banshee, the gimp, firefox, thunderbird, and eventually the X server over SSH out of frustration because my dad's blu-ray player wasn't playing content on a samba share due to the entire thing thrashing uncontrollably. ** Attachment added: Graphs of pre/post upgrade system resources https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/784651/+attachment/2133868/+files/graphs.tar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784651 Title: memory hog under 11.04 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 629258] Re: Battery life estimation never comes around
Bug is still alive and kicking. My HP g60 125nr does this and it drives me nuts. If we can get a discharge rate (Wh/time) isn't it just simple arithmetic to get at least a half-decent fallback routine should the current implementation fail/time out? I've had the stock battery replaced via BestBuy, and unsurprisingly it's a cheap Taiwanese knock- off. I can check if the stock battery (as in genuine HP) can give an estimate of remaining charge (it could be HP's hardware level vendor locking, similar to ink cartridges), but I still see no reason for not having a history based estimation as a failsafe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug (38795). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629258 Title: Battery life estimation never comes around -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 659334] Re: rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in _nss_wins_gethostbyname_r()
Same problem here. according to dpkg /lib/libnss_wins.so.6 is provided by the winbind package. Before I installed winbind rhythmbox didn't segfault, so this might be a problem with libnss_wins. Removing winbind does work as a workaround, but it's not fixing the problem. If I find why this is happening I'll let you guys know, but uninstalling winbind might not be a option for people who need windows/linux network interoperability. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659334 Title: rhythmbox crashed with SIGSEGV in _nss_wins_gethostbyname_r() -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
