Thanks for the quick answer. As a first step I will remove the add-ons, one at each blow-up to find whether it is one of them. First candidate was Ulmon CityMaps2Go.
I assume that there is no hardware defect (broken RAM or so) in the new laptop as Chromium is the only app affected and Chromium does not crash, it simply occupies all the memory after some time. This laptop is my first with 16 GB RAM, I have taken this high amount of memory to be able to run virtual machines. Before I ran 3 VMs with 2 GB each and left 2 GB for the real iron, now I run the VNs with 4GB each and leave 4 GB for the real iron. But this I only do if I actually need VMs, most of the time all the 16 GB are for the real iron and the system starts to swap when Chromium has taken around 13 GB. Do you have any hints what I could also test to find out what is happening? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1751137 Title: Severe memory leak: 13 GB RAM in 3-4 hours To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1751137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
