[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Travis, that's my exactly my point. With the nvidia driver, I was seeing the same behavior as described here. While running top, I could see the resident memory used by compiz.real rising steadily. Then I removed the nvidia driver. Of course compiz.real was no longer one of the running processes, but the increase in memory usage overall followed the same pattern as before, there was just no particular process to attribute it to. So, I either have at least two separate massive memory leaks, or neither the nvidia driver nor compiz are responsible for it.

Re: [Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Hi, I agree with Matt, this problem does not seem to happen with the nvidia/metacity combination. That doesn't mean that it is definitely a compiz problem though - the black windows problem with earlier nvidia drivers running out of video memory was only seen with beryl and nvidia.

[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
I've tried this, and it's not a problem with any plugin. Under nvidia-glx-new, I ran compiz with no plugins enabled, spawned 100 gnome-terminals then killed them. compiz.real's shared memory size increased by ~150Mb and didn't decrease on closing the terminals. Spawning another 100 terminals resulted in a further ~150Mb increase, and so on. Running under nvidia-glx I tried the same thing and the compiz memory usage appeared stable. However, the 96xx drivers really didn't like running compiz, so it'd be good to get some confirmation from someone else here. It looks very much like this is a bug in the nvidia-glx-new drivers. Interestingly, trying to spawn 200 gnome terminals at once crashes X :). ** Changed in: compiz-fusion-plugins-main (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- memory leak with ring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this. Running a HP Pavilion dv6106 Laptop with a Nvidia 6150 and nvidia-glx- new. I'm with tombrus that medium is to cafeful, and should be upped a bit, as it seems to be affecting all people with the new nvidia drivers. Then again this could be a bug in the new Nvidia drivers, in that case we should make sure Nvidia knows about it, and release a update for Gutsy once the problem is solved.

[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Don't be so quick to point the finger at nvidia. I removed the nvidia drivers and found the same behavior. Often, not all the memory a window uses gets freed upon closing the window, and streaming applications, music, video, seem to leave behind about 20% of the data they process in memory. In all the memory loss didn't seem any different with nvidia/compiz or without.

If you're not using the nvidia driver you're not using compiz so you couldn't be seeing a 'memory leak in compiz'. -- memory leak with ring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Same here. Just upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy. When I maximize/minimize windows compiz eats my memory eagerly. I switched window resizing from the default 'outline' to 'normal' and that seems to worsen things: resizing then also eats memory by the meg. I attached a log of 'ps aux' of compiz each second and you can see it grow from 32M to 256M in 80 seconds! I have no idea what module causes this. i.m.h.o medium for this bug is a bit too careful, I would like to see this upped a bit. -Tom ** Attachment added: ps of compiz with one line/sec http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10106768/compiz-ps -- memory leak with ring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Well, add another to the list. I am running Gutsey on a HP DV2200 w/ a geforce go 7200 and I also get this bug. I'm using custom effects from Compiz Fusion as well. System Monitor shows compiz.real eating 330Virtual and 310 resident memory. My memory keeps climbing and it will eventually get to the point where I am out of system memory and and my HDD starts thrashing from the swap. This eventually leads to a complete system crash and I have to restart Ubuntu completely. I agree with Chris. This is a catastrophic memory leak.

I should also add that the amount of memory leaked appears to be (somewhat unsurprisingly) proportional to the size of the window. That is to say, if I open and close a new firefox window, I see compiz resident memory jump by ~10MB. With a smaller terminal window, it's ~3MB as noted before. -- memory leak with ring https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Is it possible to change the title of this bug? Something like compiz leaks memory with NVIDIA proprietary driver (or similar)? I just filed a new bug about compiz leaking memory and I ignored this one because the title said it only affected the Ring plugin which I never use. On my machine, it's *really* bad. I see resident memory usage increase by ~3MB each time I open a window. *Sigh*. So I can't run Compiz on my work machine, because it leaks memory like crazy with NVIDIA cards. And I can't run it at home, because it locks up my laptop with an ATI Mobility 9600. Are Intel cards the only ones that can actually run this damn thing?

[Bug 151168] Re: memory leak with ring
Although I'm obviously biased (as the one who wrote ring), I have to say that I really, really doubt there is a leak that may fill several hundred megabytes of memory inside ring. Besides the usual boilerplate code that every compiz plugin has, there is only one place of allocation where a 8 byte structure is allocated for each window in the ring. So even if it wasn't freed correctly (which it is here), it would take ages to fill up memory with that allocation, unless you have a really absurd amount of windows in the ring. The second place where stuff is allocated from ring is the window title display (which is also freed just fine here) ... if you want to check that, just disable either the window title display or the text plugin.

Hi, I'm not using ring, nor desktop cube - just the extra effects and top shows my nvidia.real using the following virtual = 489M, Resident = 421M and that's just over the course of three hours with no video playback. Yesterday I experienced several restarts of the desktop and dmesg showed processes being killed due to a lack of available memory. Most likely there's a bug in either nvidia (mine is a Ge Force 5200) or the core compiz.
