G.Christ I can confirm. Looks as if this is fixed in Karmic. I ran the loop of the initial post on an up to date karmic and update-notifier "only" uses ~30Mb. On jaunty I had it using up to and above 400Mb of RAM on the same PC. -- Memory leak in update-notifier-kde https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've noticed this for some time now, I'm using Kubuntu 9.04 64 bit. Today the update-notifier-kde is using 217 MB long after I checked for updates.

@myrtille: you are right, thanks for the tip! But in Karmic I have seen that update-notifier-kde uses less memory, between 20-35 MB.

Hi, I think you can disable it by starting KPackageKit, go to settings ->Edit Software Sources->Updates and in Automatic updates uncheck "check for updates". -- Memory leak in update-notifier-kde https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to update-notifier-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

The big memory leak is still present in version 0.19 of Jaunty.

In the worst case, you can kill the process yourself.

[Bug 289264] Re: Memory leak in update-notifier-kde
I'm raising the priority to High, since it's really bad for long running systems (that e.g. only get suspended / hibernated). If this cannot get fixed properly, I think a workaround should get implemented to regularly restart the app. ** Changed in: update-notifier-kde (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => High -- Memory leak in update-notifier-kde https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to update-notifier-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 289264] Re: Memory leak in update-notifier-kde
I experience the same problem on Jaunty with KDE 4.3RC1. running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade twice makes update-notifier-kde rack up around 200 MB of Ram (everytime I run it, update... takes in a few more MBs. Also for a couple of minutes it insane amounts of CPU time (in the high 70s to 80s initially, the between 20 and 50% for another couple of minutes). Now, on my main machine it not that big of a deal, but on weaker machines this is really annoying as this almost causes the system to come to a grinding halt. If there is a fix out for karmic already it would be nice to have this backported to Jaunty. -- Memory leak in update-notifier-kde https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 289264] Re: Memory leak in update-notifier-kde
btw: I've added the following snippet (in variants) to debug this (and added
output to update-notifier-kde):
(update-notifier-kde &); sleep 5; pid=$(pgrep -f ^python.*update-notifier);
echo $pid; for i in `seq 1 50`; do ps aux|grep update-notifier|grep -v
grep|grep python|awk '{print $2":"$5"/"$6}'; sudo touch /var/lib/apt/lists/;
sleep 15; done; kill $pid
This may help you, apart that a "real profiler" is more useful of
course, see e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/110259/python-

[Bug 289264] Re: Memory leak in update-notifier-kde
This appears to be caused by apt_check / apt_check.run(). Exchanging result = apt_check.run() with result = (0, 0) in /usr/bin/update-notifier-kde prevents this growth of memory usage (there's minor growing still though - according to ps). apt_check is in /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt_check.py (from update- notifier-common). I've quickly looked into it: it used apt_pkg, which may be causing it. btw: a comment in update-notifier-kde says that the whole checkNewPackages may not be required in the future: checkNewPackages = True #kpackagekit has a new package notifier but it's broken so use this Looks like some memory profiling is required here. ** Changed in: update-notifier-kde (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: update-notifier-kde (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- Memory leak in update-notifier-kde https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
