I've been watching my memory usage for the past month. Something has definitely improved. After 23 days of uptime, my system was using 1.9 GB (after closing all apps). On the next reboot, after 7 days of uptime, it was using 1.9 GB. It doesn't seem to change with usage. Based on recent observa

Thanks for reopening this issue. I don't think activating apport-collect was much use since I rejected the access request. I found information about how apport-collect works when diagnosing a program crash, but I didn't find anything about its use in diagnosing a persistent memory leak. What exa

For some reason I didn't see an email notice associated with the request from Fabio Marconi on 7 December. Because of the (relatively) slow persistent nature of the leak, I can't confirm the magnitude of the leak on an ongoing basis without ten to fourteen days between system reboots. A couple of

Thanks Fabio, for attending to this issue. I've been meaning to update this bug item. Unfortunately, there's no indication that my upgrade to 10.10 or any subsequent patch has significantly change my memory usage pattern. With 8GB installed, I don't notice the problem as quickly. Also, I've had

After my weekend system reboot, my FF came up with Boomtango re-enabled. I had disabled that when I had 2GB because it appeared to be a memory hog. Now that I have 8GB I thought I would try it again. Unfortunately, my history is huge, and Boomtango can take up to two minutes to do a simple history

My uptime today is 4.5 days and my memory usage is 61% of 8GB with 2GB accounted to programs. Still on the 600MB/day all-you-can-leak plan. Yesterday the strange monochrome window effect began to show its face again. I saw it on Evolution, Cutecom, the background colour for my tilda terminal, a

Appears that removing tomcat did not improve matters. In the meantime, replaced the system board with a Gigabyte GA-EP45T- UD3L/Wolfdale E8400/8GB DDR2 PC6400 configuration. Running with 8GB I can probably go a week between reboots, if the leak rate persists at 600-800MB/day. Today I'm at uptime

Another cycle, same behaviour. Uptime 3 days 12 hours, and I've seen the strange monochrome windows again. Memory use at 83% after Evolution (which I'm now starting to use) grew to 1.3GB resident. After terminating Evolution, back down to 61% memory use (3.6GB) for programs totalling less than 1

Because this is weird, I'll mention one long-shot possible connection. About a year ago I had to do something on this system which was odd and unexplained. Under Karmic (and further back) when I terminated my Eclipse instance, it would vanish from the screen, but fail to completely terminate. I

I've been continuing to monitor this problem. My system has now been up for five days without FF doing an unexpected termination (at which point I do a system restart, ending further observation of the memory leak). My memory usage is now at 72% of 5.8GB, while known applications account for
