Re: Gnome shell high memory usage
> What version of Fedora are you using? F24 x86_64 (clean install). It doesn't use that much memory for me - I have 16 GB, and after a day or so it gets to as high as 2%, restarting gets it down to about 0.8%. I got into the habit when the machine had less memory and it would get up to around 10%. My original post was just to mention restarting, in case the OP was unaware of it - it's easy to do, unlike logging out or rebooting. Even if it used a lot more, I wouldn't bother changing desktops because of it, unless it got wedged somehow if I forgot to restart. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Only if they admit that they're doing it the wrong way. I gave up on Gnome when they made a desktop look like a tablet computer display, and they ploughed on with that stupid design philosophy despite all the complaints. I went over to using the Mate fork, instead, and it's far better (for me). However, the login screen still uses Gnome shell, and that makes the computer grind to a halt, all by itself, particularly when its screensaver kicks in (just a static graphic of a pretty picture). On computers that are left running all the time, I periodically have to cold boot them (or go through a lot more malarkey), to make them stop behaving like a 486 with 2 megs of RAM. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

That's probably true. I'm just here to help, not to complain. Well, I can't help directly because I don't use Gnome. However, if this were a common issue, there'd be a Bugzilla about it and probably a fast patch. My personal guess is that there's something wrong with the system and/or a fairly obscure bug in Gnome Shell or an interaction between both. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Re: Gnome shell high memory usage
This is a common issue with gnome-shell. 1. Can you try disabling any gnome-shell extension and see whether it is still present? If no, then one of your extensions is to blame. There is no easy way except manually enabling/disabling them and having a look at gnome-shell's RAM usage. 2. If you are sure it is an issue in gnome-shell, you're probably running into https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642652. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
