[Bug 316093] Re: gvfsd allocates huge amounts of memory while playing audio files

2009-01-22 Thread lbhudda
After trying for nearly two weeks, I have to face up to the fact that I'm not able to reproduce the bug anymore. I'm not sure if this is due to patches and / or product updates, but I have been running my music program more or less constantly and I haven't had virtual memory rising on me as I ha

Thank you for picking up my bug report. I understand your request, and have installed valgrind on my system. However, since the program I suspect of leaking memory is gvfsd (I have acutally managed to reclaim the memory by killing it; it restarts automatically, and my swap is released. I will put

Searching for a way to replace the gvfsd I found the following bug (225615), which gave me a bit of a deja-vu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225615. Am I mistaken or is gvfs very leaky? Btw. I ___will___ try to produce a valgrind logfile, but I'm kind of baffled by the behaviour of this relativ

I'm having problems getting the replaced gvfsd to start. I've created a wrapper script, similar to the one described in the pages of the other bug. When I try to start it, it works, but doesn't come back in the System Monitor (process is not listed there, even though it exists; I can find it with p
