Public bug reported: I'm having this issue since Ubuntu 14.04.
Now I'm on 14.10. Gnome-shell 3.14.3 Kernel 3.16.0-29-generic x86_64 UPower client version 0.99.1 UPower daemon version 0.99.1 Almost every single day I have an issue with upowerd process(es). Suddenly upowerd process(es) eats 100% memory, system freezes due to memory lack. I have a 16GB of RAM and upowerd can eat ANY amount. I think I have seen similar problem reported while ago, unfortunately I cannot find it right now. If you find it please set this topic as duplicate. Anyway - I am looking for a solution. It's a nightmare getting my system freezed every day... Thanks! ** Affects: upower (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: upowerd -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1437377 Title: Upowerd eats 100% memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1437377/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
