mdrozdziel, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with Precise via http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ ?
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/758709 Title: Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 2.6.35-28-server leaks memory over time. Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 2.6.35-28 installed on two mirror machines. Kernel processes are slowly consuming whole available memory over time. Tooks around 10 days to eat up 4GB which leads to obvious total crash. On the pastie below, you can check how does the slab info looks like around 24 hours prior to coming crash. http://pastie.org/private/lmx2xhijugfi8zkic4cpsa Its always kmalloc-192 and kmalloc-32 which are leaking the memory with the mutual proportion 6:1 (192:32). I am not really sure where to go from that point. Is there any other possible way to diagnose to cause a bit deeper? I found out some posts from people with quite similiar issue on pretty much same hardware. The proposed solution was to disable acpi and apm, but it doesn't solved the issue on my boxes. Any ideas much appreciated. Hardware is from HP (DL360G5). Debian 6 works great on the same hardware, as do Ubuntu 10.10 on other boxes. This has to be on the edge of hardware and software. No idea where to go from there. System is pretty much unusable.
