yes also 20.04 starts at 50-60 MB grows to 600 MB in a couple of hours,
is there a workaround? e.g. kill every hour?

I also can confirm that this issue persists in Ubuntu 20.04 (focal).
It's pretty irritating... it's bad enough that all of these Electron-
based apps and chromium-based browsers are chewing up ~400-500Mb each.
I don't need a silly software management UI doing it, too!
I recognize that
I'm writing about this problem in

I think that it's a social and environmental responsibility to try to make
software use a reasonable amount of resources. Unjustified computer renewal is
a social and environmental problem.

I can confirm that this is still happening in 3.36.3 focal fossa.

happen most certainly.

Never seen Ubuntu explaining anything, helping people with debugging or
something like this in the last five years. Eventually the problem will
go away some way or another, but even this event most likely won't get
reported. So, don't expect too much.

Just happened to me, too (17.10 x64). RAM usage got up, system became
sluggish then stopped responding completely, only MagicSysRQ got me out.
After restart, the problem has left an ugly gift: syslog has grown to
6,4 GB (I won't upload that). tail syslog (repeating for at least last
100 lines):
I'm also affected by this bug. Sometimes it starts consuming memory (I
have 8GB, usually 6GB free) and devours swap as well. Only solution then
is to do a hard restart, which can be problematic if I have a simulation
running.

Same problem on 17.10. Memory consumption of gnome-software seems to be
stable most of the time (around 56MB). Sometimes it starts consuming the
whole available memory, including the swap.

a distinction. Searches for software may take a second longer (probably

I do not seem to have the memory leak problem (the used RAM doesn't seem
to grow constantly and without bounds), but still it uses constantly
almost 200 MB of memory, which seems kind of unacceptable to me for an

After updating to 17.10 Gnome is now constantly growing to > 12Gb RAM
overnight with nothing running. (16Gb system) Under heavy use, memory
usage quickly jumps to 14Gb and starts to eat up to 15Gb of Swap.
Minimal system mods. Only Firefox running 95% of the time.

The memory leak is not just a standby problem. The process eats as much
memory as it can. On my 12GB system it was using 9.1GB of RSS and

Dear All,
being a newbie I do not know whether I should start a new bug report, or it is
fine to comment here. In my case gnome-software uses 27.6 GiB after leaving the
computer untouched for overnight.
Same version of gnome-software. Please find system monitor screenshot attached.
