[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1876641] Re: gnome-shell leaks hundreds of megabytes when the dock option 'show-trash' is enabled.
@Erik Meitner Did you try the fix that solved it for me and others - see #34 above Please check that this command fixes the problem: gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-trash false after logging out and in again. If the leak still happens then please don't comment here, but open a new bug by running: ubuntu-bug gnome-shell -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876641 Title: gnome-shell leaks hundreds of megabytes when the dock option 'show- trash' is enabled. Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Gnome shell is the single largest resident memory user on my system. It was hovering at ~700mb, then with a few minutes of use of the system (nothing in particular, mostly shell windows, one google-chrome window) - spiked to ~980mb or so, before retreating to 903m.

So upon running gsettings set org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions "['ubuntu- d...@ubuntu.com', 'ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com']" the previous org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions ['gsconn...@andyholmes.github.io', 'ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com', 'ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com', 'sound-output-device-choo...@kgshank.net', 'darkthemetog...@jacob.mischka.me', 'desktop-c...@schneegans.github.com', 'audio-output-switcher@anduchs', 'clipboard-indica...@tudmotu.com', 'nightthemeswitc...@romainvigier.fr'] org.gnome.shell disabled-extensions ['nightshellswitc...@romainvigier.fr', 'caffe...@patapon.info'] becomes: org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions ['ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com', 'ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com'] org.gnome.shell disabled-extensions ['nightshellswitc...@romainvigier.fr', 'caffe...@patapon.info'] So it seems that deleting extensions via the extensions app/firefox extension settings interfaces does not work, even if they become invisible.

Similarly, these disabled extensions: nightshellswitc...@romainvigier.fr' and 'caffe...@patapon.info still seem to be installed. These should have been removed from my system months ago. Is there a similar command that would remove those entries also?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1955058] Re: gnome-shell memory use climbs to multiple GBs
I uninstalled all the non-default extensions and deleted the extensions
folder as you said.
I rebooted then:
246.2 MB at 10:19 in the morning
449.6 10:45 - then just left the PC on but did not use it.
2.5 GB 16:49
3.0 GB 17:50
Both previously and after removing the extensions today, if I issue the
[alt-F2 r] command, the memory drops back down to 250 MB from however
many GBs it is.
settings.txt is as follows. It shows extensions as active that have been
removed (not present in either extensions app or via Firefox extensions
addon). Note that apart from audio output switcher, caffeine, clipboard
indicator and night theme switcher, all the others were uninstalled
previously, even many months ago.

Public bug reported: Gnome Shell memory use grows over time Memory for Gnome Shell can be around 2.5 GB, sometimes more. If I do Alt-F2 r to restart shell, it drops to 250 MB and then slowly climbs up again. Occasionally it goes so high on my 16 GB machine that it swaps and crashes.
