My uptime today is 4.5 days and my memory usage is 61% of 8GB with 2GB accounted to programs. Still on the 600MB/day all-you-can-leak plan.
Yesterday the strange monochrome window effect began to show its face again. I saw it on Evolution, Cutecom, the background colour for my tilda terminal, and for the first time, the background of the tooltip pop-up for System Monitor. These all became monochrome where they are normally coloured. Also saw two visual artifacts: there was a 16x16-ish block of coloured pixels in the tilda background while the rest of the background went monochrome. A smaller 8x8-ish artifact of yellow pixels was visible in the System Monitor tooltip background when it went grey. The colour comes back again within 15 to 60s, but it's not triggered by any specific user action I've been able to correlate. I've only seen this monochrome behaviour on Lucid with the Evergreen video card *after* adopting Evolution as my mail client and beginning an embedded project which keeps Cutecom on my desktop a lot. Sometimes I think Evolution is deliberately fading to monochrome when IMAP is busy doing something else, and perhaps this effect is bleeding into other windows. It could be unrelated to my memory leak which has persisted across many changes. <rant> Apparently in Evolution text mode isn't text mode. Formatting (blue links, variable line leading) introduced via my paste buffer into a text-mode message won't go away when dismissed with prejudice. That's about 100,000% too much fidelity with Microsoft Outlook for my personal well being. I'm not in the market for another disruption, so I'm just going to close my eyes and declare radio silence on all things Evolution in subsequent posts unless I catch it holding a smoking gun. </rant> -- severe memory leak began in Karmic, persisting in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/590566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
