[Bug 569711] Re: The system is very slow. The memory is not freed after closing a program. (-pae)
VasiaUVI, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

As per comment #11, it seems that the original reported got it solved in a way unrelated to the -ati package. Is this bug still affecting anyone?

[Bug 569711] Re: The system is very slow. The memory is not freed after closing a program. (-pae)
I have an always growing gem_objects count, 2BG of memory gets eventually full and extreme swapping starts. Closing apps never drops the count down. I have ATI radeon RV280, KMS enabled, Ubuntu 10.04, no external repositories, no ppa, just plain Ubuntu installation fully updated. Tried with -generic kernel and a custom compiled 2.6.33.3 kernel from kernel.org, both are the same. If I disable KMS then xorg enters an infinite loop or something like that, it can't be killed with "kill -9" and the computer must be rebooted with sysrq (different bug, first appeared on Karmic but still present on Lucid), so I must have KMS enabled. -- The system is very slow.

I've managed to make the issue disappear! I've deleted from /home folder the .pulse folder. It seems that in that folder I had some "processes", or something like this, so quickly born and killed that I couldn't seen in the task manager and because of this the CPU was at 50% and maybe this was influencing also the polkitd service. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed -- The system is very slow.

[Bug 569711] Re: The system is very slow. The memory is not freed after closing a program. (-pae)
Hello, I really don't know what is happening with my Ubuntu system. I've tried like you said with radeon.modeset=0 but is the same slow and heavy system. I've tried to kill, destroy, remove, explodethis polkit daemon but it's appearing every time. I've tried: start-stop-daemon -K -n polkit update-rc.d -f polkitd remove but after boot is still appearing! My cache memory is high and also the both CPUs are constant at 50%. After 30 min - 1hour the memory is full and the system is much more heavy than before. Maybe is because of general performance, maybe of other bug, but the idea is that I use Ubuntu from 8.04 version and I didn't saw this behavior before! How can I murder(kill) :) this polkitd/polkit service??After this I will investigate to see if there are other issues! Thanks! -- The system is very slow.

There are some known performance issues in -ati with KMS enabled.

[Bug 569711] Re: The system is very slow. The memory is not freed after closing a program.
Please elaborate a bit further, the information you've provided so far is insufficient to analyze this problem. Collect some data showing the memory leak (as described in bug 565981), itemize steps to reproduce, and elaborate on what you've already tested so far (versions, configuration settings, etc.) I notice you have the -pae kernel loaded, so you might want to see if you can reproduce it with the regular kernel. If it is a regression, you should identify when the problem started happening. If you still have older kernels installed, try booting earlier versions. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - The system is very slow.
