[Bug 1856516] Re: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10
In Ubuntu 20.04 (with the newest packages) the leak is present. After logging in the memory usage of gnome-shell is 208MB. After pushing Super+A it jumps to 213MB and stay there. After lock/unlock the screen it jumps to 270MB and stays there. Repeated Super+A and lock/unlock seems to do no further changes. After launching firefox it jumps to 290MB and stays there. Closing firefox and launching it again it jumps to 300MB and stasy there. Repeatedly launching firefox (and other apps like terminal, files, settings, etc.) seems to do just small ~100-500kB jumps. Now it sits on 306MB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Using a wrapper script for gnome-shell actually breaks things, because now systemd thinks the wrong process is sending ready signals (everything starts up fine, but then gets killed after 10 seconds once systemd decides its timed out). And the problem is that all the processes inherit their environment from gnome-shell; without code changes I can't limit the the tracing to *just* gnome-shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your efforts... heaptrack_gui is telling me the largest peak allocation location is either 60MB or 106MB, depending on what tab you look at. So that's not evident of any leaks in the heap.

[Bug 1856516] Re: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10
I don't know whether a problem I have is related to this issue or not. On one of my machines which has been upgraded over several years and is now running 19.10 just one of the configured users is seeing a dramatic leak in gnome-shell, even when nothing is happening on the UI. Immediately after logging on using the Ubuntu selection from the logon screen gnome shell shows as using about 134MB. From there it climbs at about 300MB per hour and after a few hours the machine starts using swap and performance grinds to a crawl. This happens even if the user logs on and then the machine is left completely alone. Logout and back in frees all the memory. A test user I have configured sees no such problem. I have uninstalled all extensions apart from the system ones, disabled all the system ones and reset all the gnome settings using dconf reset -f /org/gnome/ to no avail. Also I have removed ~/.local/share/gnome-shell and allowed it to recreate it. I can't see anything obvious in the log. It must be something in my settings that is triggering it but I have run out of ideas on what to try. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1856516] Re: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10
So, the X11 session is now up to 4526M/906M/107M, so it would seem that there is at least one bug that applies to X11 and one that applies to Wayland; possibly the same bug :) I don't think that I can reproduce the “Super-A leaks 50MB” bug. Repeatedly pressing that doesn't appear to result in any memory use change (except, *maybe*, repeatedly pressing -A and *then* memory usage increases after a minute or so of being idle?) Interestingly, *Xorg* memory usage appears to have increased, too; it's now at 2877M/657M/592M, which seems unusually high? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Incomplete per comment #4. We need to all agree on a use case/test case that triggers the issue reliably and then can focus on that. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

For the moment this bug is a place where we can discuss and find possible causes. I expect there to be multiple. So what we need first is some kind of test which is indicative of a leak independent of the user. One that other people can reproduce and automate. Not just /using/ the desktop in our own personal ways. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

For comparison, I've run an GNOME-Shell-X11 session for 3577M/725M/99M Virt/RSS/Shr after a comparable time period; this doesn't significantly decrease after closing all the windows. Although that's lower than the Wayland case, maybe it's starting to look like it also has a slow leak? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856516 Title: Excessive memory usage by gnome-shell in 19.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1856516/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
