Thanks. In my experience virtual memory increases are often related to thread leaks (because each one requires megabytes of stack range), or related to integrated graphics leaks, or related to other memory mapping leaks like memory mapped files.
We can check for thread leaks by simply watching: grep Threads /proc/`pidof gnome-shell`/status And we can check for memory mapping leaks by watching: wc -l /proc/`pidof gnome-shell`/maps As for integrated graphics leaks, that might be harder or it might show up in the above command. Are there any tools for probing the M3's GPU stats? ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 25.10 uses increasingly lots of memory + gnome-shell leaks virtual memory on arm64 ** Summary changed: - gnome-shell leaks virtual memory on arm64 + gnome-shell 49~rc leaks virtual memory on arm64 ** Package changed: ubuntu => gnome-shell (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: gnome-shell-leak -- 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/2122654 Title: gnome-shell 49~rc leaks virtual memory on arm64 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2122654/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
