[Bug 974382] Re: memory leak in unity-panel-service
unity-panel-service is not leaking memory on 15.04+. The memory footprint tends to grow slowly but that does not mean there is actually a memory leak, it's just the way the kernel manages the memory. Please reopen the bug if you think the leak is still there. ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974382 Title: memory leak in unity-panel-service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/974382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've just rebooted, so I don't have this in front of me any more. I don't run any non-standard indicators. I have an external (to the laptop) monitor and I run unity-2d. Indicators I have (sorry for ignorance here): * mail envelope (messaging) : ** this has xchat-indicator in it * battery (configured to show percentage) * bluetooth icon * network manager * volume/sound * date (configured with Month and Day of Month * Me menu i honestly think the only thing that isn't installed by default is xchat-indicator. So, I really don't see how I could be an oddball here. If you're telling me that you have desktop uptime in the time frame of weeks, and still have unity-panel-2d with memory resident in the 20-30M range, then I'm willing to try to help out. However, if you're telling me that you haven't tried to debug this stuff personally over the course of days or weeks, then I'd rather not be a guinea pig and interrupt my normal work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974382 Title: memory leak in unity-panel-service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/974382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Running since May 3 (18 days now), unity-panel-service is 400M of resident memory. The executable running is from 5.10.0-0ubuntu6 (precise release).

Scott, using valgrind to find memory bloat (which might not be memory leaks) is often misleading and inaccurate. The valgrind tool for measuring boat is massif. Please try that (valgrind --tool=massif). Also, obviously, if you're running any non-standard indicators then please say so.

[Bug 974382] Re: memory leak in unity-panel-service
I disagree with the response here for the following reasons: * marking it 'invalid' so it will magically go away isn't helpful for anyone * suggesting that I should log out of my currently running environment, and run valgrind on my system for the next 2 weeks because you find that unreasonable to do yourself is somewhat rude * marking a memory leak of 420M over 3 weeks as 'low' is troubling. You probably will get your desired result of making this bug go away, as I'm not likely to run my desktop under valgrind for a extended period of time. I realize that the bug was reported against old versions, and understand the desire to see if it is still relevant. My currently running environment has unity-panel-service up for ~ 10 days and it has a footprint of 42M (per top) at the moment. I believe that likely there is still a leak shown there.However, it was not being used for a significant portion of that as I was travelling. So, my finger-in-the-wind assessment is that you have fixed some memory leaks, but that it is still leaking. Again, having run the desktop for 10 days, my running versions are out of date, so even that data is not 100% relevant any more. I really would feel much better if you were running valgrind in some automated fashion for extended periods of time on the components of Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974382 Title: memory leak in unity-panel-service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/974382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

* marking it 'invalid' so it will magically go away isn't helpful for anyone it's not marked invalid, it's marked incomplete as needs extra infos, we can't do a lot without that * suggesting that I should log out of my currently running environment, and run valgrind on my system for the next 2 weeks because you find that unreasonable to do yourself is somewhat rude assuming that others are lazy is somewhat rude, did you consider that maybe it's specific to your setups or that others don't get the issue and can't collect the infos from your system? * marking a memory leak of 420M over 3 weeks as 'low' is troubling. well as said before some leaks got fixed since you opened your bug report so the number is likely to be lower, few users let their system run over 3 weeks without reboot (we usually get kernel updates that require a reboot at least once a month), and it's easy to workaround (the panel service is only a standalone service that can be restarted without closing your session or anything) You probably will get your desired result of making this bug go away, as I'm not likely to run my desktop under valgrind for a extended period of time. did you read the code of conduct recently? what happened to assuming that people mean well? My currently running environment has unity-panel-service up for ~ 10 days and it has a footprint of 42M (per top) at the moment. I believe that likely there is still a leak shown there. what number are we talking about in top? res? shr? yeah, it seems to leak 1mb a day, it's not perfect but it's barely a rc bug, knowing that it could well be that you use a non default indicator (do you run multiload, weather, or any indicator not installed by default?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974382 Title: memory leak in unity-panel-service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/974382/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
