I have made some progress. It looks like the problem is a combination
of an upstream bug, and the addition of application indicators to the
Ubuntu version of GPM (gnome-power-manager).
First of all this bug is in gnome-power-manager, and should be moved
back to that package.
Upstream: I built
For me, it is much slower. This is on a desktop that is attached to an
APC UPS via the USB cable. There is no indicator in my panel (unless
maybe if the power goes out and I start running on the UPS?). I last

Hi Toby. What you are seeing is consistent with what I am seeing.
I would bet that 'upowerd' is transmitting a dbus message every 20

As an experiment kill the gnome-power-manager 'killall gnome-power-manager'.
Then run 'gnome-power-manager --verbose'. You will get a detailed log of

Hi Sebastien,
I use the command in comment #1:

The heap of gnome-power-manager grows by 4kB every second (in my case).
If I take out the battery from my laptop, the memory leak stops.

I have some new information (however I do need some help from
developers, please).
The chain of events is this:
1. upowerd - wakes while monitoring kernel drivers (sysfs/procfs). This can be
very infrequent or very often depending on the h/w
2. upowerd - sends resulting message via dbus
3.
I'm marking this report verification-failed regarding that 3 users reported
that 0.0.19-0ubuntu5 in -proposed doesn't fix the leak.
I tried version 0.0.19-0ubuntu4 in lucid and compared with the version
0.0.19-0ubuntu5 in -proposed and didn't see any improvement regarding memory
consumption
Simon B, I do have a UPS but it's not connected in any way besides the
power cable.
I have a wireless keyboard, but I've never seen anything that could
detect the battery in it..

Yes, in my case it is battery related. Jason, I wonder if you have a
UPS, or some other power related device like that?
I did some more debugging. When I insert the battery, this subroutine
is run continually:
Breakpoint 1, gpm_tray_icon_devices_changed_cb (engine=0x80a3238,
I did a valgrind over about 8 hours(attached).
I removed my battery, restarted gnome-power-manager, and now the leak is
gone.

In my case, although I experience the bug, it takes more time for the
memory usage to expand, and it is on a PC with no battery (that the OS
is aware of).
Just want to make it clear that it's not ONLY battery related.

I'm seeing this issue and noticed that it appears to be triggerable by
unplugging and plugging in the charger on my laptop. The interesting
thing is that it triggers only when I plug the charger back in, and
never appears to happen when I unplug it.
Convenient command-line for monitoring usage:
By using the script that Compholio provided in comment #22, I noticed
that the Rss amount increases by about 20kB every 30 seconds on my
machine. After watching it for several minutes, I'm pretty confident
that the leak that I am seeing is caused by an event that happens every
30 seconds. 20kB
Also, there are two reports about a problem similar to this one in bug
#196688 in comments #25 and #26. There is also another report in bug
#588383.

I used Compholio's script and it is showing 4kB every second (roughly).
After three days I am at 670 MB. Possibly related to this is the
battery in the laptop I am using does not hold any charge anymore.
Maybe something is polling the battery?

I've been up for 8 days, I noticed I was losing a lot of memory. Part
of that was the ubunto one sync client (killed it).

Paul: you are correct about the test case. Start gnome-power-manager,
look at the memory usage, wait several hours (or a day), and look at the
memory usage again. The buggy version will consume memory slowly
(perhaps around 2MB per hour---which is approximately what I found in my
original bug
As for me, gnome-power-manager only seems to be leaking RAM while
displaying the battery symbol in the panel (which is, while recharging
the battery). However, the leak happens to be much more severe than
scottku described, as it takes ~2 hours to eat 3GB of memory.
All the above concerns the
Can I just verify the test case, is to simply run the gnome-power-

reasonable?

It might be helpful to post a log with --show-reachable=yes so we can
have a full(ish) accounting of where the program is using memory.
Perhaps it's hanging onto some memory with a valid pointer that it
should be freeing.
