I have this issue on 17.10 and 18.04 but I'm not sure if it's related to the original reporter's case because for me I suspect it's related to amdgpu-pro. In earlier distributions the memory leak was elsewhere - I can't remember if it was in xorg or plasmashell, though. I *think* it also happened with fglrx, before amdgpu was released, but that was so long ago now I can't be sure.
Regardless, the way I work around this is to restart the polkitd service every now and then. Otherwise, after a few days the memory usage is in the order of *gigabytes*! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470235 Title: PolicyKit high memory usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/1470235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
