Are you running KDE? Do you have swap enabled on dom0? A 'free -h' output shows this. I noticed a possible memory leak some time ago and I use KDE. In my case, I see the Swap memory usage slowly growing. At this moment, with just 5 days uptime I have 657M of used swap. I remember it reaching some gigabytes. I determined that after some says of uptime, the X process was using more memory compared to fresh boot. But not really too much for have so much memory swapped. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
