I just got bitten by this bug on Lucid. Currently gnome-power-manager uses ~120 MB resident memory after running for about two weeks:
$ ps auxw|grep gnome-power-manager|grep -v grep frank 2735 0.0 16.1 186140 123588 ? S Apr03 8:09 gnome-power-manager Most of that memory is used on the heap as can be seen in /proc/[pid]/smaps: 08ea5000-11d9e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] Size: 146404 kB Rss: 116416 kB Pss: 116416 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 82896 kB Private_Dirty: 33520 kB Referenced: 47516 kB Swap: 29968 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB A 146 MB heap seems a bit overdone for a trivial program like gnome-power-manager. This machine has gone through some updates without being rebooted. That should not be a problem - this is not Windows after all - but maybe gnome-power-manager should have been restarted after one of those updates? -- GPM in Hardy seems to have a memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196688 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
