Public bug reported: Software versions: ------------------------------------------------ Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS openbox: Installed: 3.5.0-2ubuntu2.1~ppa1 Candidate: 3.5.0-2ubuntu2.1~ppa1 Version table: *** 3.5.0-2ubuntu2.1~ppa1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/lubuntu-dev/staging/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.5.0-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://lk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe i386 Packages
Expected XOrg to release memory or not to increase memory abnormally when continuously taps. Instead, XOrg increase resident memory continuously when taps on the screen. Steps to Reproduce --------------------------------- Just tap continously on touchscreen inside application opened within openbox. (In my case I just tapped in terminal) Further details ------------------------------- It was observed that XOrg has consumed a large portion of memory towards the later part of the day. Further analysis found that, memory consumption increases only when I use touchscreen, not when I use my mouse. So, I monitored XOrg memory by continuously tapping the touchscreen and found that each touch contributes to increase in XOrg memory. Next, I switched back to Unity and XOrg memory usage was normal with both mouse, and touchscreen. So I suspect openbox contributes to memory leak. Tried different other combinations such as different touch driver versions, and non seems to contribute to memory leak other than openbox. ** Affects: openbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: leaks memory -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1323974 Title: Openbox (XOrg) Memory Leak in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbox/+bug/1323974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
