When I had the issue I did not have Google Chrome installed. I was instead, creating disk images with ddrescue. Needless to say that involved some active changes in files substantially larger than the amount of system memory.
Unfortunately as the issue occurred spontaneously and completely disabled my computer when it happened, I had resorted to uninstalling deja-dup rather than attempting to resolve the issue. Will try fix next week. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302416 Title: deja-dup monitor was taking 6GB of memory Status in Déjà Dup: New Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in deja-dup package in Debian: New Bug description: Booted fresh, computer started to be slow and after a while i realized deja-dup monitor was taking 6GB of memory.
