Public bug reported:
Please describe the issue you’re experiencing:
gnome-software is consuming 6+ GB of RAM on my machine. This is unacceptable
and is affecting all other applications.
Error message appearing in /var/log/syslog
N/A -- other processes are fighting for memory, and OOM killer is more active.
What Linux distribution are you using, and what kind of package (RPM, deb,
flatpak, etc.) are you experiencing the problem with?
Ubuntu 22.10
apt
flatpak
I don't know how to replicate this issue, however it does appear to be a
problem retaining memory. See LSOF report below, software is gnome-software
43.0
```
sudo lsof -p 750448 -n > ~/ramusage.txt
cat ramusage.txt | perl -lane 'print "$F[6] $F[0] $F[1] $F[2] $F[3] $F[4] $F[5]
$F[7] $F[8] $F[9] $F[10]"' | sort -rn > sorted-report.txt
```
Top 10 filehandles are holding onto something like 6GB of RAM?! What's going
on here ?
