Hi Toby. What you are seeing is consistent with what I am seeing. I would bet that 'upowerd' is transmitting a dbus message every 20 seconds.
As an experiment kill the gnome-power-manager 'killall gnome-power-manager'. Then run 'gnome-power-manager --verbose'. You will get a detailed log of activity on the command line. Every 20 seconds or so you should get some output which shows what the power manager is doing. If you are really adventurous, you can do the same on upowerd. 'sudo killall upowerd' Then sudo upowerd -v. upowerd is the program that monitors the hardware for changes, and gnome-power-manager is the one that reacts to the changes. What we need now is someone to figure out why the memory is not being freed... any volunteers ;-) -- memory leak in gnome-power-manager on lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569273 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
