I'm also seeing a large memory leak from gnome shell in 22.04. org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-trash is set to false and I've made that change already a while back. It's continuing to leak memory.
I've tracked the memory consumption over the last 2 weeks and it's leaking well over a gigabyte per day. It doesn't seem to leak anything while the PC is on without being actively used but during use it's leaking memory at a rate closer to 2GB/24h. I've attached a graph of the the memory that gnome-shell is using. (In case anyone's interested, I've uploaded the code for the plot as well as the data here, but without documentation: https://github.com/Emerentius/gnome_memory_leak_ubuntu_22.04) ** Attachment added: "figure.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1968590/+attachment/5594129/+files/figure.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1968590 Title: Gnome-shell memory at 682MB Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Memory leak - 680-685Mb use ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: gnome-shell 42.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-25.25-generic 5.15.30 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-25-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu80 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Apr 11 18:05:02 2022 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-04-01 (10 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Beta amd64 (20220329.1) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 42.0-1ubuntu1 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1968590/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
