I backported Andrey Kudinov's suggested change (replacing Ubuntu's openssl3-compat.patch with gentoo's version) and built a transmission package in a PPA for jammy (Andrey's PPA only has packages for kinetic and lunar).
I've been testing the patched transmission-gtk for the last 24 hours and the memory leak is gone. I'm attaching a debdiff. ** Patch added: "debdiff that replaces mem-leaky ubuntu openssl3 patch with the gentoo openssl3 patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/1973084/+attachment/5713173/+files/fix-mem-leak.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1973084 Title: transmission-daemon high RAM usage Status in transmission package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Transmission uses a lot of RAM in ubuntu 22.04 server (arm64) runnign on a Raspberry Pi 4. It "eats" RAM and the RAM usage grows each hour until it crashes the system. I sideloaded transmission-daemon and its dependancies from debian 11 (arm64) locked the packages so apt won't update them and, ever since, this issue hasn't happened.
