Well, that rules out nVidia binaries as a source of the problem, at least Pete's problem.

Re: [Bug 98783] Re: MASTER: memory leak
The problem is that the people that can work on the problem think that there is no problem, since measuring memory use is not something easy, and any badly written app (typically it was flashplayer, but I already tried disabling it) can leak pixmem. So until somebody of us identify which is the culprit, and it can be different for any of us, there's no way this is going to be solved. The fact is that now my X server is using ~300m and if I quit the session (all X programs except gdm), it will still be using almost all that memory, go figure. Now, you say that with another graphics card you don't have the same problem, maybe that is the root of all evil, are you using the same version of the nvidia driver? Most reports have been with nVidia, and since some of the reports are "false positives" it may well be a driver problem. -- MASTER: memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98783 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
