This happened just after booting up and logging in. I'm running 32-bit Intrepid on a laptop with Gnome and am on a wireless connection (which wouldn't connect, due to lack of resources). Upon logging in, it took a long time for the desktop environment to load.
When Gnome was finally up, I ran "free -m": [17:28:35] /home/acraft free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 494 487 6 0 0 29 -/+ buffers/cache: 457 36 Swap: 1443 1237 205 After seeing such high swap usage, I ran top and sorted by swap: [17:29:31] /home/acraft top top - 17:30:05 up 25 min, 2 users, load average: 3.10, 2.94, 2.29 Tasks: 132 total, 3 running, 129 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 31.8%us, 17.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 39.3%id, 11.6%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 505860k total, 500148k used, 5712k free, 664k buffers Swap: 1477940k total, 1304912k used, 173028k free, 30684k cached PID VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ SWAP COMMAND 5249 1403m 266m 1392 R 64 54.0 13:10.98 1.1g NetworkManager ... Since I couldn't connect to wireless, and NetworkManager was not responding, I shut it down hard and started it up again: [17:30:07] /home/acraft sudo killall NetworkManager [17:30:36] /home/acraft sudo NetworkManager Then I came here, found this bug, and checked my syslog (attached), which exhibits the same behavior as Nigel's. Hopefully this helps someone fix this problem. ** Attachment added: "syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20194784/syslog -- memory leak in Network Manager Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/291074 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
