I'm also seeing a steady growth in gnome-shell's memory usage over time. I have extensions installed that don't appear to be required by Ubuntu 20.04 (meaning if I try to 'apt remove' them, apt wants to remove 'ubuntu-deskop', too).
Here's the listing of my relevant extensions directories: $ ls -l /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 27 09:35 'desktop-icons@csoriano'/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 27 09:28 'ubuntu-appindicat...@ubuntu.com'/ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 27 09:31 'ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com'/ $ ls -l ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ total 0 $ Over time I find that gnome-shell's reported memory usage per 'top' steadily climbs. Today it was showing 3.1g before I finally logged out of the machine and back in again. I wish I had more information to share, but at this time, I don't. Will report back if/when I do, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850201 Title: Memory usage grows when locking/unlocking the screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1850201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
