Thanks for the bug report. There are not currently any known leaks in gnome-shell so most likely this is something unique to your machine.
The first unusual thing I notice here is a lot of error messages about: gnome-shell[52032]: Error getting desktop unix mode: Gio.IOErrorEnum: Error when getting information for file “/home/damir/.wakatime.db- journal”: No such file or directory so please try uninstalling whatever software is related to WakaTime. If the problem continues happening then please: 1. Ensure you do not have any extensions installed in ~/.local/share /gnome-shell/extensions 2. Record the memory usage of gnome-shell using the 'ps auxw' command so that we can see exactly what it is. And attach the results here. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Tags added: gnome-shell-leak -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1926598 Title: gnome-shell ram usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1926598/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
