--- Begin Message ---Package: gnome-shell Version: 44.5-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Upgrading gnome-shell on Debian/testing * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? apt -u dist-upgrade * What was the outcome of this action? gnome-shell process leaks memory on Debian/testing * What outcome did you expect instead? gnome-shell process not leaking memory currently, since a while, the gnome-shell process leaks memory using gnome shell with Wayland. I am using gnome-shell as Wayland process, and under current Debian/testing environment, the process leaks memory and can get several gigabyte large. Output from 'top': 14237 adrian 20 0 9525320 1,3g 764448 S 15,9 8,6 35:33.41 gnome- shell As you can see in above example, the gnome-shell process uses 1,3GB random access memory. Please bear in mind, that several gigabyte of memory usage are already swapped out to the Linux swap partition. % grep --color VmSwap /proc/14237/status VmSwap: 2938064 kB As in above example, ~3 gigabyte of memory are swapped out. In conjunction with above recognition, the gnome shell (user interface) 'freezes' several seconds, from time to time.
