[Bug 1834794] Re: Uses too much memory (6Gbyte process)
Thanks for that. I've never seen pulseaudio do this before. 1. Do you have any ideas as to what apps might have been using pulseaudio recently? 2. Is the problem regular? Does it return after a reboot? 3. Does the same problem exist in Ubuntu 19.04 if you boot that from USB? (http://releases.ubuntu.com/19.04/) We use a newer version of PulseAudio in all Ubuntu releases from 18.10 onward so I am wondering if this is a bug that was fixed already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834794 Title: Uses too much memory (6Gbyte process) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1834794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the reply. It is 3.7G byte mapped hardware memory, not just virtual.

[Bug 1834794] Re: Uses too much memory (6Gbyte process)
Thanks for the bug report. 'pmap' displays virtual memory (address space), which is mostly not real memory. Please attach a copy of your /proc/PID/status file. The important field that affects machine performance is VmRSS, and VmData tells you the amount of regular memory allocations. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834794 Title: Uses too much memory (6Gbyte process) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1834794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
