[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
I didn't notice a difference with 16.04.01 either. I've switched most of my computers to Linux Mint 18 Mate, which doesn't have this issue even though it is based on 16.04. That OS uses about 400 MB with nothing running, but some proprietary NVIDIA drivers boost it up to about 800 MB. LM 18 Cinnamon (also based on 16.04) also uses a little over 1 GB interestingly enough. So this might be a Gnome 3 issue maybe, since Mate (using Gnome 2) is not affected but Cinnamon, Ubuntu Gnome, Unity, etc using Gnome 3 is affected? I've also been told that Ubuntu 16.04 Mate isn't affected by this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 64bit ISO number 20160420.1 unity version 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu 16.04 64bit ram usage has increase dramatically over Ubuntu 15.10 Ubuntu 16.04 ram roughly 1 GB Ubuntu15.10 can be tuned to 420, 450 MB Ubuntu 16.04 with unity uses 1GB whereas Kubuntu 16.04 is using 420MB live usb ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: unity 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.376 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Apr 21 01:44:22 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
Here's a screenshot with various diagnostic windows up. It looks like /dev/core is the culprit for me since my hdd is 1T but the process says it is 140.7TB in size, the link goes to /proc/kcore but using sudo rm /proc/kcore results in a message "Operation not Permitted" in the terminal. However sudo rm /dev/core works, and the memory drops to 20% of RAM for a few seconds then goes back up to 25% of RAM out of 8GB. I'm not sure what my next step should be since I deleted core and there is no bootchart. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2016-06-01 06-38-40.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+attachment/4674337/+files/Screenshot%20from%202016-06-01%2006-38-40.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 16.04 64bit ISO number 20160420.1 unity version 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 Ubuntu 16.04 64bit ram usage has increase dramatically over Ubuntu 15.10 Ubuntu 16.04 ram roughly 1 GB Ubuntu15.10 can be tuned to 420, 450 MB Ubuntu 16.04 with unity uses 1GB whereas Kubuntu 16.04 is using 420MB live usb ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: unity 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.376 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Apr 21 01:44:22 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0412] (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
