Update: The problem of excessive use of memory I have at every start, after a short time, about 1 hour of activity the memory in use of gnome- shell goes to more than 1Gb.
I checked on the notebook with the same version of Ubuntu and the same configuration: package version, extension version, then a 99% replica, the gnome shell process is kept at about 234mb / 328mb of memory in use. Hardware difference: Notebook(no bug): CPU: Intel i3-6006, GPU: integrated Intel HD 520, session Wayland. Desktop(bug): CPU: Ryzen 2600x, GPU: NVIDIA gtx 750 ti (NVIDIA proprietary driver 435.21), Xorg session. ** Attachment added: "photo_2019-10-13_12-29-08.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1847882/+attachment/5296801/+files/photo_2019-10-13_12-29-08.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847882 Title: Excessive use of gnome-shell memory Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After 9 hours of uptime, I have the gnome-shell process that uses 6GB of memory ... emanu@emanuc:~$ ps aux | grep gnome-shell gdm 2014 0.0 1.0 2857772 175052 ?
