Frank, the point is not to prove that there is a leak. The point is to understand where the leak comes from. Neither a kernel OOM log, nor a screenshot of top or a similar tool helps in that regard.
Some things that could help: - a set of steps to reliably reproduce the problem, - checking if the problem happens with the command line VLC (cvlc), - checking if the problem happens with the GNOME desktop, - a valgrind log of the memory leak, - a stack frame trace of the place in VLC where the OOM killing occurs, - a patch. -- memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575460 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
