Public bug reported: indicator-bluetooth (0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1) starts automatically after boot, and its memory use increases continuously, gradually and exponentially, to the point that it reaches the system limit. Then it causes overheating and crashes the system requiring a reboot only possible forcefully by on/off switch of the computer. When I kill the process from system monitor to avoid this happening, it starts from zero again (automatically) and restart the gradual increase of memory use. Obviously there's a loop, but I couldn't figure out or find the reason or how to solve this. I can not remove indicator-bluetooth permanently due to package dependencies.
This started happening after I upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04. My computer is Toshiba Portege Z930 with 8 GB memory (which becomes used up in app. 30 minutes), Intel® Core™ i7-3687U CPU and Intel® Ivybridge Mobile graphics card. I'm not an advanced user, so please excuse me if I have surpassed any essential step before filing here. ** Affects: indicator-bluetooth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: indicator-bluetooth (0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1) starts automatically after boot, and its memory use increases continuously, gradually and exponentially, to the point that it reaches the system limit.
