Hi folks, I'm still regularly stricken by the memory leak in the compiz process. I have to kill compiz every couple of days after it bloats to several GB in size. From reading this bug, it's not clear to me what has been fixed, where any possible fix is destined to, how I could pick it up, or whether I'm even following the right bug. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running ubuntu 12.04 (religiously apply all official updates) and below are the details about my video card, compiz version, and mesa version: 0> lsmod | grep radeon radeon 804518 5 ttm 76949 1 radeon drm_kms_helper 46978 1 radeon drm 241971 7 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 13423 1 radeon 0> lspci | grep adeon 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar PRO [Radeon HD 5450] 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5400/6300 Series] 0> compiz --version Compiz 0.9.7.12 0> dpkg -l | grep -i mesa ii libgl1-mesa-dri 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules ii libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules ii libgl1-mesa-glx 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime ii libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime ii libglapi-mesa 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 free implementation of the GL API -- shared library ii libglapi-mesa:i386 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 free implementation of the GL API -- shared library ii libglu1-mesa 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 Mesa OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libglu1-mesa:i386 8.0.4-0ubuntu0.3 Mesa OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii mesa-utils 8.0.1+git20110129+d8f7d6b-0ubuntu2 Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities thanks in advance... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914773 Title: [radeon] Compiz memory leak and blank screen unable to login when using radeon driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/914773/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
