[Bug 1672297] Re: gnome-shell leaks RAM, almost 2 GiB RSS after 4 days
Saw what appeared to be a memory leak in gnome-shell so set up a pidstat trace to see the memory activity. Added this trace text the monitored thought the day. The increase in memory usage appears to be consistent and not related to what activity being done on the system. Most of the morning and early afternoon the system was unused. ** Attachment added: "gnomeshellps.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1672297/+attachment/4839691/+files/gnomeshellps.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672297 Title: gnome-shell leaks RAM, almost 2 GiB RSS after 4 days To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1672297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. Could you report this issue to GNOME? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME I don't know how to debug memory leak issues. If you know how to use IRC, you can ask on #gnome-shell on irc.gnome.org . ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672297 Title: gnome-shell leaks RAM, almost 2 GiB RSS after 4 days To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1672297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can you reproduce this now?
