[Bug 1079311] [NEW] gnome-terminal memory leak causes slow performance
Public bug reported: I believe this started with the upgrade to 12.10 or perhaps shortly after. I'm used to firefox using astronomical amounts of memory over time but that's not a big deal because i can just kill it and restart it and my workflow is barely interrupted. Unfortunately, gnome-terminal has no similar restore tabs capability. As a developer, I typically keep gnome-terminal running for weeks at a time, usually with at least 4-5 tabs and often more (as of the time of this bug report I had 8 tabs open, 2 running ssh, 4 with leftover buffers from previous ssh sessions and 2 only used locally). As of this writing, I've only had this gnome-terminal window open for 4.5 days and its currently using 714 MB, second only to firefox (1GB and I just restarted it 30 minutes ago, wtf) I do not know if the leak is related to buffers or the actual programs used. Generally speaking, I only use ssh and occasionally vi locally. If I need to do anything else locally I will open a secondary gnome- terminal window, do whatever (tail logs, restart network manager applet, etc) and then close that window. But I keep my primary gnome-terminal window which I use mostly for work open for long periods of time. But now I'm forced to restart gnome periodically to release its memory. It doesn't help that the latest versions of firefox and chrome are also all competing for fastest leak rate, often bringing my 8GB 64-bit machine to a crawl until i start killing things. As best I can tell, closing open tabs in gnome-terminal does not reduce memory usage, only closing the window (aka terminating the process) entirely does so.

[Bug 781494] [NEW] Apply upstream fix to broken perl plugins for pidgin 2.6.6
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pidgin A bug in pidgin 2.6.6 means that signals (aka events) in perl plugins are passed invalid/incorrect arguments. This has already been documented and fixed upstream. See http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11431. Here is the fix (reverts the regression while also avoiding the compiler warning that prompted the original change): http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/diff/b84cb254e83a2dd3b31443d05163b32875e98fdf/with/3762c9332c14ac3b681bae2c99c49773c2e46e8a/libpurple/plugins/perl /perl-handlers.c. Since lucid will be around for several more years and there's no urgent reason (read security fixes) to move lucid to 2.7.x, could this minor fix be applied to allow perl pidgin plugins to work again in lucid? It's hard to release plugins when you have to then also convince most of your users to upgrade via a ppa or backports just to get basic plugins to work. lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Release:10.04 apt-cache policy pidgin pidgin: Installed: 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3 Candidate: 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3 Version table: *** 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.1 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 500 http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/781494 Title: Apply upstream fix to broken perl plugins for pidgin 2.6.6 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 138969] Re: Feisty: Keyboard and Gnome freezes with Network Manager
I'm not on campus very often anymore so I can't test this easily now. However, I can say that upgrading to Hardy did NOT eliminate the problem. I cannot however speak for any updates to network-manager since the initial hardy release because I just haven't be in a situation to test it recently. -- Feisty: Keyboard and Gnome freezes with Network Manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 138969] Re: Feisty: Keyboard and Gnome freezes with Network Manager
I tried to post a comment a while back but ironically my computer froze while doing so. I have exactly the same problem as you. The easiest way I've found to avoid the problem is to quickly turn off roaming and set network manager to a manual configuration. That often means I have to run dhclient myself every time the connection dies but at least I can keep my system up.

[Bug 37444] Re: RandR stops working with MergedFB when the external display is disconnected
I'm also seeing this in edgy, using the BigDesktop with the fglrx driver. I can provide Xorg log files if needed. Is this likely to be patched officially any time soon or should I just patch my own system rather than wait? -- RandR stops working with MergedFB when the external display is disconnected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
