The first thing we need to check is what extensions might be installed system-wide that could interfere with the login screen. Please run 'gnome-shell-extension-prefs' and disable/remove all but the three Ubuntu-default extensions. Then reboot.
Since this test may take some days or weeks to complete I will also mark this bug as private, to avoid noise from unwanted "me too" comments. At least until the cause of the leak is known. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Information type changed from Public to Private -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881851 Title: Memory leak from GDM's gnome-shell process To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1881851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
