*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1342123 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1342123
I found the correct Setting manager (the other one was for Unity8?) and have tried to reproduce the behavior described by Jonathan. Disabling the "Evolution Data Server" entry for my calendar does not fix the problem. All 8G of memory and 8G of swap gets devoured in under 10 seconds. I think that marking this a duplicate of bug #1342123 is a mistake for two reasons: 1. bug #1342123 is a bug for mobile system (the corresponding bug for the desktop is bug #1589605) 2. they are talking about rather modest amounts of memory usage like 100MB, not 16G. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633319 Title: memory leak in indicator-datetime Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 on the System76 Serval WS indicator-datetime-service is consuming all the system memory from 3.7GB up to 32 GB in 30 seconds. The system kills the indicator- datetime-service process and indicator-datetime-service restarts and memory consumption repeats until killed again. All swap memory is consumed in this pattern.
