I've found that the best workaround is to disable oneconf (so as to avoid removing software-center and ubuntu-desktop).
sudo chmod a-x /usr/share/oneconf/oneconf-service sudo chmod a-x /usr/share/oneconf/oneconf-query sudo chmod a-x /usr/share/oneconf/oneconf-update And then I killed the running process oneconf-service via System Monitor. Goodbye Oneconf, thanks for the memory back. I did this a while back in 11.10 and had no problems as a result. I've now tried it in 12.04 as the bug remains. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894314 Title: oneconf takes up half of the memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oneconf/+bug/894314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
