[Bug 751523] Re: gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information
Some more investigation... valgrind points to "listMounts" dbus call as the culprit of the leaks. This is the same call that is full of old pidgin URLs and other cruft. I wrote a python script to call it and gvfsd leaks 200kb every time. But the real killer. gnome-system-monitor calls "listMounts" 17 times for every update, causing nearly 2mb to leak for every update. I've sent the bug report and testcase for gvfsd upstream. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #646867 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646867 ** Also affects: gnome-system-monitor via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646867 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751523 Title: gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 751523] Re: gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information
I was watching the session bus with dbus-monitor and i noticed that every URL i've clicked on in pidgin at least since the last reboot shows up as a dbus object under gvfs, and g-s-m constantly polls this stuff. That probably explains why the problem is so much worse on my workstation, i've clicked on a *lot* of URLs in the past month... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751523 Title: gnome-system-monitor spams dbus with requests for volume information -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
