I have earlier had problems with gnome-power-manager (and was told it was do to another bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- power-manager/+bug/196688), but yesterday I got a similar problem with pidgin:
The sound suddenly wasn't working, and I did a "killall pulseaudio", this used to help but didn't, so instead I did "ps aux | grep pulseaudio" and "kill -9 xxxx", and in the same moment I got a pidgin sound (like when you receive a message), even though it was at least an hour since I last got one. And then the system got slow, real slow, but i manage to open up gnome-system-monitor, and I saw that pidgin was eating up more that 500MB of my memory. Killing pidgin made the system run normal again. It might be another bug again, but kind of weird it comes at the same as the gnome-power-manager did. ** Attachment added: "Pidgin using 625MB memory" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14360939/pidgin2.png -- Pulseaudio is blocking normal sound after resume https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202089 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
