Public bug reported:
every 2 or 3 days I have to alt+F2 and "r" to restart gnome-shell to release ram, because it grows and grows until it starts swapping. Restarting gives me another 2 or 3 days of breathing room :) and then rinse and repeat. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 apt-cache policy gnome-shell gnome-shell: Installed: 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Candidate: 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Version table: *** 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 42.0-2ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages gnome-extensions list gsconn...@andyholmes.github.io ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com gnome-extensions list --enabled ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: gnome-shell 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Uname: Linux 5.19.2-051902-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu82.1 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Wed Sep 21 06:18:15 2022 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-07-26 (1152 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190210) RebootRequiredPkgs: Error: path contained symlinks.
