Re: [Bug 424655] Re: Pulse audio memory leak
fwiw, i just did a fresh reformat and install of karmic on my 64-bit system (system76 darter ultra). i had previously been running karmic after upgrading from intrepid (upgraded from jaunty, i think), and i had the pulseaudio memory leak. after a fresh install, seems to be gone (thus far). hope this helps.

Thanks for confirming. TBH this is really a miracle to me, since merely closing an internal fd in udev should not have _any_ impact on pulseaudio, except if pulseaudio was actually relying on udev not working. I don't think we want to break udev for half of the systems again, so we need to track down the actual pulse leak. Please try to restart pulse in the foreground with debugging mode with this: pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -vvv 21 | tee /tmp/pulse.log If you see this in the second last line: E: pid.c: Daemon already running. then please just keep retrying until it works and it says I: main.c: Daemon startup complete. in the bottom. Does this reproduce the leak as well? Normally it stops after daemon startup complete and there's only occasional output. I hope/suspect that you will get a wild endless loop of output; if you do, press Control-C after a couple of seconds. If it stops outputing text, wait 20 seconds and press Control-C then. Please attach /tmp/pulse.log afterwards.

I 've been experimenting with different udev versions: 1) 147-6 , which has problem with mounting removable media. but pulseaudio seem to be not leaking memory 2) 147-6.1 (which differs from -6 by this commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=patch;h=4daa146b ) It fixes mounting media but pulseaudio leaks memory badly 3) vanilla udev 147 , which behaves like 147-2 ubuntu karmic amd64 Meya: 3) vanilla udev 147 , which behaves like 147-6.1 -- Pulse audio memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424655 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'll also point out. the karmic udev on 64bit systems (dunno about the 32bit version), will not automount usb/card reader/esata with 147.60 udev, 147.61 udev solves the issue, but then you get the pulseaudio memory problem associated with it.

[Bug 424655] Re: Pulse audio memory leak
One potential explanation: the fd leak made udev completely stop recognizing new hardware on a lot of systems (which was fixed in -6.1). So the fix might uncover another leak by adding/probing sound hw which previously didn't appear in udev (since it simply stopped working because of exceeding the 1024 fd limit) For those of you who can reproduce this pulseaudio memleak (I can't), it would be interesting to compare an udev dump with both versions. Please install 147~6, do udevadm info --export-db /tmp/udev.log attach /tmp/udev.log here. Then upgrade to 147~-6.1, reboot, do the command again, and attach /tmp/udev.log again.

[Bug 424655] Re: Pulse audio memory leak
I seem to have a milder version of this. I'll attach an htop screenshot showing pulseaudio to use about 2 gigs overall and 1 gig resident memory after about three and a half days uptime. It's usually half that much after a day I'd say, whether I use audio or not. Perhaps this is a different issue but I've found no other bug report on this so far. Is there an upstream report BTW or is this thought to be caused by Ubuntu- specific patches? I'll post the PA stats corresponding to the htop output below. I resist having run PA in valgrind for a significant amount of time as this might be required since the leak doesn't seem as large for me as for many others. I'll do it though if required but the other valgrind logs don't seem to have done any good so far so please let me know. $ pactl stat Currently in use: 3 blocks containing 158.3 KiB bytes total.

[Bug 424655] Re: Pulse audio memory leak
No I'm not using the PPA. Should I be? It seems like if the ppa fixes the problem that the ppa packages should be put in main asap to get more visibility. -- Pulse audio memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424655 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

Alright I've upgraded to the ppa alsa and pulse packages.

[Bug 424655] Re: Pulse audio memory leak
I wrote this hack handy to see if pulse was still leaking memory and thought I'd share: while true; do echo -n $(date +'%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S - ') pulse-audio-memleak.txt ps -o args=,rss= $(pgrep -f 'pulseaudio --start') pulse-audio-memleak.txt sleep 60 done It seems that the ppa packages have fixed the bug.

[Bug 424655] Re: Pulse audio memory leak
Hi all, Hi Daniel, This sounds like a pretty serious issue. Perhaps more information could be given to the submitter so that we can get this bug status changed back to new, or confirmed, or whatever it needs to be looked at? Or did you mean by your last post there that this issue doesn't exist in the pulse audio version that will be used in the release version of Karmic Koala?

Issue appears to have been fixed. Pulse audio now stays at ~ 5.6MB. -- Pulse audio memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424655 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

Cancel that. Memory usage is climbing at a rate of about 1MB every 5 seconds.

You need to use the ~ubuntu-audio-dev PPA version until it enters main (likely next week, since it's the weekend). ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Pulse audio memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424655 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
