I'm using Kubuntu Lucid amd64 with KDE4, an ATI Radeon HD 4770 with fglrx drivers. X seems to be leaking a lot of memory. When I first log in to a KDE session my system RAM usage is around 650 MB. After a day or so of normal usage, and then closing all apps that weren't running right after I logged in, my RAM usage is around 1400 MB. X is using more than any other process on the system by far, and it's 13.1% of my 4 GB of RAM. If I log out and back in, RAM usage goes back to around 650 MB.
This problem doesn't seem to exist in Kubuntu Hardy. # ps aux | grep X USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1048 3.3 13.0 690928 528600 tty7 Ss+ 02:41 22:28 /usr/bin/X... ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- X server memory leaks related to dbus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/186354 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
