Thanks for the bug report. Please start by uninstalling all your custom extensions. Don't just disable them because a really buggy extension can still leak when disabled. Then log in again and verify the problem is still occurring.
If the problem is still occurring without extensions then while it is happening please run: ps auxw | grep gnome-shell > psoutput.txt and attach the resulting text file here. ** Tags added: gnome-shell-leak ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949469 Title: gnome-shell is taking too much memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1949469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
