As a temporary workaround, I've been running this script in background which kills indicator-session-service when it hits 500M of rss:
#!/bin/sh while sleep 1; do rss=$(ps -C indicator-session-service -o rss=) if [ -n "$rss" ] && [ "$rss" -gt 500000 ]; then pkill -f indicator-session-service -u hyperair && \ echo "[$(date)] killed at $rss" fi done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1523698 Title: indicator-session is leaking memory on ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/1523698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
