Public bug reported: process nautilus which is ran automatically by system on startup using command "nautilus -n" grows big in memory. normally after startup it is about 100 mb in ram - after few days it can get to over 1gb ive ran it with valgrind - after startup it was above 200mb and after 2-3 days it grew to 1.6 gb
the command using which i ran valgrind is: "G_DEBUG=resident-modules valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --leak-resolution=high --num-callers=20 --log-file=/media/data/nautilus_valgrindlog.log nautilus -n" system: ubuntu 16.04 x86-64 not sure why it leaks, maybe it has something to do with the program that i use - i mean "variety" it changed desktop wallpaper several times a day. (maybe nautilus somehow grows because of it? no idea but im not using other fancy things here - just doing dev work on ubuntu. im attaching valgrind log. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "nautilus_valgrindlog.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551710/+attachment/4585446/+files/nautilus_valgrindlog.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551710 Title: memory leak ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1551710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
