What kind of graphics setup with the laptop? What does top say? Does the problem repeat after reboot? You need to figure out if the apparent memory leak is more than one-time and whether the leak is connected to hardware. And, is there a runaway process connected to xfdesktop that is running up the memory? Run top and inxi -b to see if a process is out of control and to get basic setup info. Finally, what does kern.log and syslog say (in /var/log/)? For viewing log files, see the terminal command discussion in https://www.howtogeek.com/117878/how-to-view-write-to-system-log-files-on-ubuntu/ Or, look at the terminal command journalctl, such journalctl -r --system. - Victor -- -- Victor Forberger [email protected] blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
