Matthew, please report the separate unity-settings-daemon issue to so that it can be tracked there. Regarding the glib parse_value_from_blob() reported above, it looks like the upstream fix mentioned by seb128 is in 16.04. Is

I also have an issue with unity-settings-daemon leaking memory. Usually after leaving the machine overnight I come in to a unity- settings-daemon crash, with no crash report due to lack of free memory. In the last few hours it's gone from 170M to 316M and still gradually climbing. This is on

the valgrind has no indicator code but it could be the same as bug #1545308 which is a glib / GDBusProxy issue, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758641 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #758641 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758641 -- You received this bug

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1523698] Re: indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10

As a temporary workaround, I've been running this script in background which kills indicator-session-service when it hits 500M of rss: #!/bin/sh while sleep 1; do rss=$(ps -C indicator-session-service -o rss=) if [ -n "$rss" ] && [ "$rss" -gt 50 ]; then pkill -f

I ran it through valgrind by diverting indicator-session-service and replacing it with the following script: #!/bin/bash exec valgrind \ --tool=massif \ --alloc-fn={g_slice_alloc,g_malloc,g_realloc} \ --massif-out-file=$HOME/massif-dump/indicator-session-service.out.%p \

Today I found this /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-session /indicator-session-service consuming 4GB of RAM, before I killed it. I have 16 GB total, but still... Running up-to-date Ubuntu 15.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1523698] Re: indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10

I tried running indicator-sound-service and indicator-session-indicator under valgrind, though it didn't seem to do much. indicator-sound-session actually used less memory, but it didn't seem to respond too well. Clicking on the indicator didn't show the regular menu. ** Attachment added:

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1523698] Re: indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10

I tracked down the problem to the `accounts-daemon` process. Once I disabled that, as described in the link below, my problems seem to have gone away. indicator-sound-service, unity-settings-daemon, ... are all behaving correctly. I have yet to figure out what impact disabling the

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1523698] Re: indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10

So how can we test this with valgrind? Something like this doesn't work: killall unity-settings-daemon && G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc- friendly valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --num-callers=40 --log-file=valgrind.log /usr/lib/unity-settings-daemon/unity-settings- daemon I

Me too. Fresh installation of 15.10 and old /home partition. More worse than listed by @Jelle De Loecker (skerit) have listed in #5. Had to reset many times, if I missed to kill the indicator-session- service process in every minute. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

The system hasn't been up for 2 hours, but it's leaking memory like crazy again: indicator-sound-service: 2121M unity-settings-daemon: 1452M indicator-messages-service: 1421M accounts-daemon: 1063M indicator-session-service: 717M That's over 6 gigabytes, and restarting any of the processes does

About the configuration: The system runs on an SSD, with only a root and home partition. The only special thing is that there is no swap partition, but a swap *file* on the root disk. It's running on a relative simple nvidia card, with 2 or 3 monitors. -- You received this bug notification

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1523698] Re: indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10

I haven't encountered it again until today. It doesn't happen all the time, but it doesn't just go away with a reboot either. I've written a crontab that kills the process every 10 minutes, that's the best workaround for now. Haven't had time to try valgrind. However, something strange is going

Thank you for your bug report. Do you have an usual configuration, especially in regards to system users and how they are managed? Could you try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us
