Further to above, I updated the kernel last night. The system has been up less than 24 hours. To the best of my recall, I have not logged out of and back into the current KDE session during that time.

A tmpfs filesystem of 832MB leaves little memory out of the 4 GB installed. It is not surprising that there is about 3.8GB of swap in use. My Osborne 1A ran faster than this in 1982, and it had a massive 64kB of RAM. -- dbus-daemon memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
