OK, while it's that size please also collect the latest log messages from gnome-shell by:
journalctl -b0 /usr/bin/gnome-shell > gslog.txt and attach the resulting text file here. It might also pay to check for any unsupported extensions in: ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ That directory should either be empty or not exist. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2006675 Title: Memory leak when hdmi switcher is not sending data/not outputting Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Main problem: Gnome-shell has a memory leak when my hdmi switcher is on a channel that is currently not inputting hdmi (i.e. desktop on hdmi 2 but hdmi 3 is selected with nothing inserted). This memory leak does not happen if signal is being sent through the hdmi switcher either from the desktop itself or from some other device. It also does not happen if I properly turn the monitor off.
