Re: [Bug 779717] Re: indicator-multiload causes a memory leak in compiz when run under unity
You ar right Mohammad its not idicator-multiload as such but its heavy usage of a api function that adds a icon img to the Unity panel. The indicator-multiload "applet" adds a new icon img every second without making sure the referece to to the img is really released. This may be a flaw in the api or a miss usage of the same. I have not looked at your scripts but maybe there is a way for you to take care of the "text" leak by unreference or clean up ref to it somehow?

Michael with your unity I am not seeing the memory leak when indicator-multiload is running. although I have tested for a few minutes(still running) but in non-patched unity the memory leak was instantaneous On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 10:35 PM, Brian Murray wrote: > ** Tags added: patch > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to unity > in Ubuntu. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779717 > > Title: > indicator-multiload causes a memory leak in compiz when run under > unity > > Status in System Load Indicator: > Confirmed > Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: > New > > Bug description: > While indicator-multiload itself remains static, while it is running memory > use in compiz increases about 1MB/min (RSS > Attached is pidstat log showing at idle for about 4 min, the indicator > started and ruuning for about the same, then stopped and back at idle for a > couple of min. > > This is a bug in compiz/unity (bug #720446, bug #758248), and can't be > fixed in system load indicator. > -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779717 Title: indicator-multiload causes a memory leak in compiz when run under unity -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
