You can do a similar exercise to see if memory goes low: while sleep 60; do free|grep buffers/cache >> /tmp/free.log ; done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007257 Title: glschool, an

Looks like I was wrong. It looks like it restarts every 10 minutes. The only upward number I see is the pid. It does look like the memory use goes up and stays there when the screen saver goes off. ** Attachment added: "glschool-ps.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+b

Thanks for clearing that up. If the used memory is reclaimed afterwards, it is not a kernel driver problem. I would then rather suspect the mesa libraries. Are you able to log in remotely from another computer and run "ps aux" while the screensaver is running? Otherwise please set up the screen

I didn't think I said that memory was consumed after the screen saver has stopped. Just that the amount of swap used showed that something had been pushed there at some time. The only thing different between two runs was the screen saver. With the screen saver turned off over 12 hours top shows abo

Thanks for your report. The fact that the memory is consumed also after the screensaver has stopped, indicates that the kernel is leaking the memory. I assume "top" does not show any memory hogs? There have been some issues with for instance the intel graphics kernel driver leaking memory objects.

** Description changed: With screen saver set to "Blank Screen Only", swappiness 0 and the system left running over night, swap shows 0 usage the next day as I - would expect. However, if I set screen saver to glschool, swappiness 0 - and system run over night, my swap space is about half full
