[Bug 743323] Re: vlc memory leak
This just happened to me on Arch Linux, and is not Ubuntu-specific, but an upstream bug. According to this post: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13t=89771 they are aware of this issue.

@dolphinaura I think you missed something in the second part of the code... :) [code] sudo mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio.dead /usr/bin/pulseaudio sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start [/code] this should be correct... I removed pulseaudio from respawn and killed it... vlc is working also if you don't set audio output to alsa...

I think the problem is in the pulseaudio/vlc integration, because sometimes I have to kill pulseaudio after the crash to get sound work well again. ** Changed in: vlc (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/743323 Title: vlc memory leak -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 743323] Re: vlc memory leak
There's no difference between the Debian and Ubuntu package that could explain the different behavior. The bug could be triggered by different library version or by different plugins.

[Bug 743323] Re: vlc memory leak
This has been happening pretty frequently to me as well. Ubuntu 11.04 x64. I've got 8GB of RAM in this system, and it normally sits on ~2.5GB used. When VLC decides to go crazy the RAM shoots up to 100% usage [very quickly], and then my swap space starts getting eaten up as well. If the swap space fills up completely, then the whole system basically becomes completely unresponsive, and I need to do a hard reset in order to get it running again. If I can catch it before that happens though, and manage to kill the VLC process, then my memory usage drops back to normal, but any swap space that's been eaten up stays like that until the next time I reboot. I've basically had to give up on using VLC until this gets resolved ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/743323 Title: vlc memory leak -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have had vlc running on Debian 6 for days on end and have not had this issue; but I have encountered it on Ubuntu 10.10. Perhaps Ubuntu patches are causing this?
