[Bug 1946970] Re: Memory leak in gnome-shell after lock and unlock the screen
Memory in gnome-shell does not get freed quickly because of JavaScript garbage collection. Memory usage will tend to grow slowly and plateau. Significant drops are rare, but I would not consider it a leak unless you see growth continuing above 500MB. Starting at 200MB is normal. If you are still concerned about the memory use then please also check to see if you get the same behaviour with no extensions at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946970 Title: Memory leak in gnome-shell after lock and unlock the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1946970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1946970] Re: Memory leak in gnome-shell after lock and unlock the screen
I switch off all the extensions except for Ubuntu ones. Every lock/unlock action raises the memory usage by ~10MB until it reaches ~280MB. Super-A (app overview) raised further the usage. After a while something happend (Not lock/unlock or Super-A) and now the memory usage of gnome-shell is 302MB and is not changing. What is the normal memory usage of gnome-shell? Is it normal (what I have described) or it should stay at the beginning level? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946970 Title: Memory leak in gnome-shell after lock and unlock the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1946970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1946970] Re: Memory leak in gnome-shell after lock and unlock the screen
Thanks for the bug report. The cause of most gnome-shell memory leaks is extensions. So please go to the Extensions app and disable all the non-Ubuntu ones, then log in again and retest. ** Tags added: gnome-shell-leak ** Changed in: gnome-shell (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/1946970 Title: Memory leak in gnome-shell after lock and unlock the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1946970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
