Just figured out what is going on here. It was actually chromium causing the leakage in the X server when it has "GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D" enabled (it's off by default). I just disabled it, restarted X and now things are working brilliantly again. Woooo hoooo.
Now, whether or not there is a bug in chromium, the fact that X leaks memory due to a misbehaving application is clearly not right, so can somebody else who is seeing this (or if you aren't, please try to see if you can trigger the bug by enabling the 2d acceleration in chromium) so we can get the proper information to the developers? -- X memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660451 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
