G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log $(which gnome-settings-daemon) --replace ** Attachment added: "valgrind.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1585551/+attachment/4965924/+files/valgrind.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585551 Title: gnome-settings-daemon leaking memory after idle Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi When my system goes to idle (lock and black screen), GDM starts to get slow. and if I let it be in idle for longer time it will be more and more slow. Also at this point the gnome-shell is slow too and gnome-settings- daemon starts to leak memory. again with more idle time gnome-shell will be more slow an gnome-settings-daemon will leaks more memory from 7MB up to more than 7GB. (ending process of gnome-settings-daemon and restarting shell with "r" command fixes these problems until next idle) I'm using gnome ppa (ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3) I have reported a bug for GDM3 too https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1581937 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.18.2-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.40-generic 4.4.8 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Wed May 25 13:53:27 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-22 (32 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160421) SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1585551/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
