I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 for a month now (I decided to switch to Linux completely after several experiments). The experience I had a a user with Ubuntu 10.04 would have been great if it wasn't for this memory leak.
I could see through the system monitor the memory used for wnck-applet growing higher by the hour. After 10 hours of use or more, it ofter reached at least 1Go of memory for wkck-applet alone. Without including the high use of SWAP memory. Basically, it resulted in Ubuntu crashing every one or two days. Which means that in one month with Ubuntu I had more crashes than two years with Vista. I disabled the autohide fonction of the bottom panel, which seemed to improve the situation a little. But the memory leak problems are far from being solved. And this autohide fonction is very convenient, so I'm unhappy with this temporary fix. "Maybe notifying gnome devs should be the best thing to do." ----> I strongly support this idea. :-) -- wnck-applet has memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576751 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
