> I installed appimagelauncher [1] some time ago and if I disable the daemon and reboot then it seems the memory leak is no more.
Yes, please verify that. It's hard to imagine how that's relevant to gnome-shell's memory usage, but one theory is that it is periodically triggering code execution in gnome-shell that a default system would not experience. This could happen via dbus interfaces, or by repeatedly changing the set of installed apps. That would still be a gnome-shell bug, but not a common one... > I did already have show seconds set, I have now tried without and it doesn't seem to make a difference Can you please check that again, without show-seconds? That was my strongest suspicion of why the leak continues on a desktop that's not being used. -- 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/1862910 Title: gnome-shell leaking memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1862910/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
