Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. Closing this as Invalid, as valgrind logs were not supported, upstream issue has not been updated.

[Bug 174809] Re: Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time)
Natty is a bug collector, used 72% of my memory - idle status (2Gb in amd64 system) - all visible processes were at 21 Mb memory consuming postion (max), several kernel panic screens, hardware is OK. Went back to xubuntu 10.10 - Thunar works without any problem of nautilus. It is interesting that ristretto has the same memory leak issue as nautilus here in this thread, but it is easy to replace it. I will wait white Natty will be matured anough to have no obvious bugs ... PCManFM 0.9.7 definitely solves the problem with nautilus, but it is pretty old and inconvenient - Thunar is much better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174809 Title: Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time) -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The same bug on 10.10 with nautilus (no nautilus-clamscan installed) on Amd64, nautilus used 345 Mb of RAM without any activity (just firefox was running), plus page file was up to 360 MB. Shutting down nautilus allowed to get memory usage down to below 50% (850 Mb) - before it was about 75%, and page file size down to 70 Mb.

[Bug 174809] Re: Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time)
Yeah ok, but no matter what, nautilus is acting like that, with less memory without valgrind. Nautilus probably caches the previously seen previews of photo/picture files so it can display it faster the next time you visit those folders. That can be logical enough, but why doesn't it flush the cache, at least periodically? Also, there's no a single option that controls the cache.

[Bug 174809] Re: Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time)
Ok, thanks. I did like wiki told me. Although, Nautilus does not crash, it just fills up the memory space. I played with it for awhile. Seems like it pumps the memory usage when showing previews of picture/photo files. I managed it to go to 206mb. ** Attachment added: Nautilus in action http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10827221/valgrind-logs-nautilus.tar.gz -- Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 174809] Re: Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time)
Quick update: I just noticed that Nautilus eats the memory when I open directories and folders. The more folders/files I see, the more memory it will use. However it will not revert back when I close everything. It's like it remembers everything I visit. Unfortunately, even if that's a feature, I don't see it's good enough to suck +150mb of ram. Just imagine how much memory it will use after 3-5 or 7 days of work and no restart. -- Nautilus using more and more memory (depending on the system up-time) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
