The test system was 19.10 in virtualbox. I removed almost every extensions, except for the built in ones (ubuntu dock, ubuntu appindicator, etc.). Gnome-shell uses ~200kB at the beginning. If I lock the screen and unlock it, the memory usage jumps to ~210kB. Repeatedly doing this, the memory usage is increasing. Similarly, suspending the system and wakeing it up also cause a jump in the memory usage, which remains there permanently. After manually reset gnome-shell (Alt+F2 r) the memory usage falls back to ~200kB.
What is the theoretical memory usage of gnome-shell? When I reset it, the memory usage is ~90kB for a couple of second, and it grows back to ~200kB. It already happened that the memory usage at the beginning of the gnome session was very low (~80kB), and grew very slowly (couple of minutes with countinuous work, launching programs, browsering the web) until it reached the approx. 200kB usage. It is very suspecious. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850201 Title: memory usage is growing over time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1850201/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
