Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
Probably a duplicate of #369539, but creating a new bug at Sebastien
Bacher's direction.
Indicator-applet appears to have a memory leak. I upgraded to Lucid the
day it was released, before that running a clean if somewhat old install
of Karmic. In Karmic I did not experience the issue. Under normal usage,
the indicator-applet process uses more and more memory until eventually
things start dying from the OOM killer. To combat this, I have been
watching the system monitor applet's memory usage graph until it reaches
a high level, checking with top to find indicator-applet at the top of
the memory usage stack (currently using 882m virt, 617m res 11m shr) and
then kill the pid from the command line. I have to do this twice a day.
Expected behavior:
indicator-applet sits next to my clock and doesn't cause problems.
Actual behavior:
indicator-applet uses more and more memory over time until the system
becomes unstable.
