So when I start a root Nautilus screen (either via the nautilus-gksu package or manually) and then close it, I have to live with ~190MiB of memory permanently used until my system is rebooted or I manually kill that process?
If I manually end the Nautilus process via the System Manager (user and/or root processes) my system still mounts devices and seem to operate as normal (the script that changes my desktop background on a regular basis runs as normal). If Nautilus is not in memory in my system, when devices are mounted the Nautilus window appears (as normal) to show the files, and again it remains in memory if the sole Nautilus window is closed. If my system seems to operate normally without Nautilus in memory, then why is it necessary for it to always be there? Nautilus is not a trivial user of memory resources, it does not make a lot of sense if it firstly remains using that resource when run as root, and secondly if it does not actually have to remain in memory for normal Gnome functionality for the logged in user. -- Nautilus memory not released when closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
