Any update here? I have been experiencing this issue with Ubuntu 16.04 really looong time. The memory consumption starts normal (high but quite normal for java) but it is just a matter of time that java eats all possible memory leading to a crash. I have been forced to downgrade some computers to Ubuntu 14.04 and this solved all issues. Unfortunately I cannot downgrade all machines to Ubuntu 14.04 so a fix would be highly appreciate :) Not even windows have this problem...really?

[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
Davias, even though this bug report was originally about the other memory problem of using excessive memory as soon as it turns on, don't see the harm in helping with this java memory problem too since it doesn't look like Canonical is going to fix either one for 16.04 since it has existed so long and we are getting close to another LTS release in April. I had that java memory leak in lubuntu 16.04 for a minecraft server I left on all the time and the memory regularly maxed out regardless of java settings, there was even a thread about it last year somewhere on the Ubuntu forums where it was recommended I switch to a window manager instead of a desktop environment. Memory management was better with openbox on ubuntu without a desktop environment. The minecraft server we have is now on debian 9 without a desktop environment, and I let that run java all week long without the memory leak. One of my kids now uses kubuntu 16.04 to play minecraft with Oracle Java and it is ok with kde. However java is not constantly running on kubuntu so I can't guarantee it won't have the memory leak after several days of constant java use all day long. So you can try kubuntu 16.04, or probably any ubuntu 14.04. I've switched my personal computer to debian 9 and haven't noticed that memory leak for java with debian either in kde, but once again this computer doesn't run java all the time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
I've had the java 8 memory leak with lubuntu 16.04. As for using excessive memory from the start, like over a gigabyte with nothing else running, I've seen it in Ubuntu (Unity, Gnome, KDE) and Linux Mint 18 (Cinnamon and KDE), which is based on Ubuntu 16.04. I have not observed this excessive memory use with debian 8 or 9 KDE. However Debian 9 does use more than Debian 8. Usually I have .75 GB memory use with Debian 9 KDE with dropbox and nvidia proprietary drivers installed and nothing else running, but the same setup on the same computers with Ubuntu 16.04 and Linux Mint 18 of most desktop environments available through normal channels are always around a GB or more in the same situation. So I believe this is an Ubuntu problem since it does not exist upstream but does exist downstream. Furthermore, I no longer believe it is Gnome, because it exists in KDE for me too. insp, for migrating you can get an external drive to save your important files. Or you can use cloud backups. Or what I do sometimes is to make a new partition on the same drive if there is space, install the other linux OS, and then copy all the files between partitions in the new OS. Make sure you edit the permissions of the files in the old OS first or you might have trouble copying. Sadly, I doubt Linux Mint 18 will help since it is a rebadged Ubuntu 16.04, but Ubuntu 14.04 or the Linux Mint 17 series based on Ubuntu 14.04 should help. Or, if you are comfortable enough with linux, you can try debian which is what Ubuntu is based on. Debian just doesn't have all the proprietary drivers included by default for wireless and graphics, so it is a little more advanced to set up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A new report is not a bad idea since here there are people complaining of different problems. Some complain about a memory leak while others complain that the use of ram is about 500-1000 MB higher than 14.04.

[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
I'm using Gnome Ubuntu 17.04 (kernel 4.10.0-20-generic, 6GB of total RAM) and have the same problem. System boots with 1.2GB and soon reaches 50% of used RAM, with 2 or 3 firefox tabs open. I've tested Ubuntu Mate 16.10 and although the initial RAM was lower than Gnome, it was still a little high for Mate (around 800MB). Kubuntu was worst for me, with a very sluggish system just with a open browser. I also use Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop, and after booting with lots of programs (dropbox, redshift, conky and some custom scripts), the system barely touches 800MB. I have to open firefox, atom, and a windows 7 virtual machine to pass 50% of RAM use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
I don't think this is strictly a Unity problem. I recently noticed that gnome-shell was eating memory in Ubuntu 16.04.2 (64-bit), consuming all available RAM and SWAP space before ultimately resulting in errors resembling, "Unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory," which occurred when launching any application within Gnome. Rebooting the server freed up memory temporarily, but didn't fix the problem. It appears to be a bug involving the proprietary NVIDIA display drivers. Maybe identical to this bug report, which was supposedly patched last year: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/879616/linux/memory-leak-for-gnome-shell-for-gdm-user-all-driver-versions-/post/4685195/ In the meanwhile, switching back to the open-source Nouveau display drivers seems to have stopped the memory leak. Unfortunately I have a few games on Steam that perform better with the proprietary drivers, so I hope this is something that gets fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I see a lot of chatter that is likely confusion related to the leak manifestations, and the false belief that eliminating X or Y memory consumer "fixed" the problem. The proper test is probably to leave a computer running, idle for 24-48 hours; if you begin swapping and running out of RAM while taking no action, you are still afflicted.

Re: [Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
I decided to try Fedora 25 Gnome. 4 GB of RAM proved not enough for Chrome, this considering gnome starts already at 1.3 GB. All in all it does'n feel much different than Unity in mem usage. Xubuntu and the lighter bunch start with less ram, so Chrome has a harder time swapping. I would not care about Chrome, but my wife is using it ( I'm a firefox guy). I stayed with Fedora, but I had to buy 8 extra GB of ram and disable swap. The system works fine since then.

@Khurshid Alam Well, I do confirm that adding the 4.4.0-22 kernel, there was a drop in the memory usage. Initially, the system started with 1.2 gb.

There was a drop to 993 mb. After the suggestion above with kernel 4.4.0-22, my system starts at 795.2 mb.

I have started experiencing this issue after latest kernel update. As many discovered that memory leak in evolution-data-server is one of the culprit. But even after killing all eds services the memory usage still at 800mb+ unlike trusty (500~600mb). So it is not the only reason. Btw, memory leak has been fixed in evolution-data-server >= 3.20, although I don't which commit exactly does that.

[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
Well, it is good to know that others have the same problem as myself, but the comments do not all add any new information in order to help address the issue. The problem CANNOT just be a straight memory leak or CPU usage issue. I am running 16.04.1 on a 64-bit Dell I with Radeon graphics and have had various error messages around this problem (during the boot process). First, after installing the OS, I have had a few normal boots, all being responsive and quick (also the boot process being quick and the shutdown lightning-fast). Then, don't know what triggered it, the CPU and memory usage went up - and not back down. It does not matter what I do, once there is a rogue job in the system, it is persistent. It comes back up during the next (agonizingly slow!) boot as well, before I even log in. So it's got nothing to do with the software that is running at the time a regular user starts to check. I have tried the uninstall work-around mentioned above (evolution, gnome- software), no change. At one point the computer was very unresponsive, sluggish, getting hot, but when I run the system monitor, the compiz memory usage is only 195 MB(!) and CPU usage is entirely normal. 0 when I don't move the cursor, up to 15 or 20% when I hover the cursor above the launch pad. And it goes back to 0 afterwards. But the fan does NOT stop howling. So I think an erroneous entry is kept somewhere (not in the .compiz directory; I've tried that work-around) that makes the system BELIEVE that something is using lots of memory and/or CPU, although that is not necessarily the case at the time. What did help, ONCE, about a week ago, was a complete system crash! After that, everything was back to normal. Astonishingly, there was nothing wrong on the hard disk, nothing needed fixing; lightning-fast boot, ALL ready to go within seconds! Does this trigger somebody's mind? I am only a user, not a developer; and I hope that somebody who is more computer-literate that I can "read the signs" and make sense out of the symptoms I am describing - thank you in advance! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The seems to be related to unity since using KDE, i'm using about 700Mo when not doing anything while using 1.9 Go after 12 hours of not doing anything with unity. When closing & re-opening my unity session, the RAM drop to 800Mo and slowly increases over the time, still without doing anything! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was having a issue like that. What solved my problem was disabling (or unistall) the packet "cups-browsed". Now the RAM use is about 900MB-1GB when system Reboot and not increasing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was having the same issue: lots of RAM usage, increasing over time, even with no applications open. I uninstalled the evolution package (just that one, no other evolution-*), and the problem seems to be fixed. Still testing, but I haven't seen excessive ram usage since yesterday. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
I'm not sure what your asking or saying? but i have attached a couple of screen shots of my systems idle ram usage i understand Removing evolution completely is messy, but disabling is relatively straightforward. Of course this should have been done using dpkg divert and whatever, to not confuse apt/dpkg when you upgrade your system. after applying my workaround my system no longer has high ram and the ram no longer starts to increase steadily, i know that evolution and gnome software seem to no take very much resources but this is what made it even more strange when i removed and disabled them my ram went down and stayed down. ill try attach screen shots of my system monitor and htop below so you can see my idle ram usage now keeping mind i have a lot of start up services and apps installed but its dramatically reduced from from before i applied this work around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1572801] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10
i have found a possible fix or workaround to the problem! i installed Ubuntu gnome 16.04 and to my surprise the ram usage was at 1.2gb idle and after just opening my browser and a youtube video it shot up to about 2.3gb which was alarming to say the least, so not one to give up i went in search for a solution and found nothing to help until a came across a very old post that had nothing to do with this particular problem but was taking about evolution services leaking ram, which at that point got me thinking so i fired up the system monitor and proceeded to investigate which processes were consuming the most ram and to my surprise two processes in particular were at the top of the processes food chain 1- gnome-software 2-evolution and disable its processes, so i then proceeded to uninstall gnome-software; > ( sudo apt remove gnome-software ) < then i removed evolution and its services > ( sudo apt remove evolution ) < disable processes -- type each command below in the terminal -- cd /usr/share/dbus-1/services sudo ln -snf /dev/null org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook.service sudo ln -snf /dev/null org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar.service sudo ln -snf /dev/null org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources.service sudo ln -snf /dev/null org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.UserPrompter.service and after doing this and rebooting my computer my ram was between 870MB and 950MB idle and about 1.2gb to 1.8gb with everything open eg browser youtube apps etc as many as i could open at the same time to test. also this workaround is assuming that you don't need to use evolution or gnome software but an alternative software center i use is Ubuntu mate welcome app and if i need any other particular piece of software i use command line or add a repo. hope this workaround can help someone until the problem is found and fixed. kind regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
