All freezes happened while doing something (reading pdf, using openoffice). Il all cases I had not-so-big pdf(s) opened in evince.
As I said in my previous comment (after which I reassigned the bug to evince which was then changed), it indeed looks like a memory leak: the memory used by evince increases when going back and forth in the document with the scrollbar (in continuous mode). running "watch free -m" in a terminal while using evince I can confirm that: * open a pdf * scroll down and back up (slowly to make sure it rendered everything) * check memory usage * scroll down and up a couple more times * memory usage increased by 300Mo if I keep doing so it becomes very slow and unresponsive as it swaps (already better than the freezes I add). It doesn't seem to happen (at least not at the same speed) on all pdf, and I can't attach here the ones that triggerd it for me (most journals are picky about what we do with their pdfs :/ ). I can't test now if this happens when using an other graphic card but I will next week. -- Xorg freeze after a while with intel driver (i945gm) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225794 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
