[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1402551] Re: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia]
It's probably worth asking upstream (Kwin) about that specific KDE effect. I'm not familiar with that effect, but they are probably doing something that the binary driver doesn't expect (and that used to work only by accident). Just a thought. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Confirmed ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402551 Title: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1402551/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1402551] Re: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia]
Furthermore I have tested the KDE effects in 14.04.x (KDE 4.13.3); When I disable the following KDE effects, the memory leak is not occurring. Cover-Switch (in german: 3D-Fenstergalerie) and Flip Switch (3D- Fensterstapel) This is the result of testing for one week. The memory usage of the graphics card (nvidia-smi) stays normal and the kwin process usage grows to ~ 100 MiB RAM (2K:2560x1440) and also frees memory back, if windows are closed. Xorg process at ~ 100 MiB. I will test this further, but I think this two effects were the culprits. This problem is only with the nvidia binary driver (tested until 352.09), it is not with the driver nouveau, intel, radeon (fglrx not tested). ** Changed in: kde-workspace (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = In Progress ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = In Progress ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = In Progress ** No longer affects: xorg-server-lts-utopic (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: xorg-server-lts-trusty (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402551 Title: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/+bug/1402551/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I must correct my comment#14, because with downgrading only the xorg-server-core package, the problem persists. You have to downgrade all xorg* relevant packages to a version before the security updates of the last weeks, as Francis Brown mentioned. Furthermore I have tested the open-source driver nouevau. There is no memory leak, all is normal. But with this driver the KDE effects are very slow and window moving is terribly slow, etc. So I have to stick with the nvidia driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402551 Title: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1402551/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

After downgrading the package xserver-xorg-core to version 1.11.4-0-ubuntu10.14, the problem is gone. It is definitely a issue with the security updates (1.11.4-0-ubuntu10.15 and 1.11.4-0-ubuntu10.16 and trusty xstack versions 1.15.1-0ubuntu2~precise3 and 1.15.1-0ubuntu2~precise4).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1402551] Re: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia]
All that had their version bumped by the security fix. Have noticed something interesting. Increased Xorg memory usage here seems to be somewhat related to using Chrome/Chromium (or based upon) browser with hardware accelerations enabled in the advanced options. Each time I launch an instance it increases Xorg memory usage by ~ 30MB which is not released when the application is closed. Disabling hardware acceleration seems to eliminate that and I get very little or much slower degrading of Xorg memory usage. I would suggest this might be worth reporting to Nvidia? https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/ as seems possible it is their drivers not liking the fixed Xorg as much as it could be a bug in any other part of the graphics stack.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1402551] Re: High memory usage of Xorg and kwin after Xorg security updates [nvidia]
Unity compiz and Xorg processes are not growing, this seems like a KDE + Nvidia + Xorg issue. I tested firefox without hardware acceleration, but still growing kwin and xorg processes. You can easily reproduce this, when you start in KDE the system monitor krunner (Ctrl+Esc), then search for kwin. Do not start other applications and watch the process memory growing.
