Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 Xorg memory consumption grows continuously with firefox usage. However, after closing firefox xorg consumption is not decreased. A new firefox instance will grow xorg memory usage further. Closing it again does not reduce xorg memory usage. Eventually all free memory is used and it will start to swap. The setup that shows this behavior has dual monitors and is using the fglrx driver. My other setup does not have this issue with similar usage but only 1 monitor. Current usage is PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3742 root 20 0 2441m 814m 18m S 28 27.3 142:07.08 Xorg ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersion: Linux version 2.6.28-13-generic (bui...@yellow) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009 SourcePackage: xorg Uname: Linux 2.6.28-13-generic x86_64 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug -- xorg memory consumption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
