Ok, I quit Kupfer, I quit Dropbox, I killed Nautilus, then re-opened it; of course the desktop re-painted.
I'm using Gnome-System-Monitor to watch. I'm watching the "Processes" tab. Nautilus started out eating ~ 26M of RAM at first. I have opened no file explorers, done nothing other than have the desktop open. After about 5 minutes, it's up to 55.3 MiB. If you watch, it adds about 0.1 MiB per second... it just keeps creeping up. Interestingly, if I open an "explorer" window, it jumps up a bit (of course) and when the window is closed it doesn't release that memory... but the creeping-up seems to stop. So this is all very anecdotal. What else can I provide? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890441 Title: nautilus memory leak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/890441/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
