I have identical set-up to the original reporter: Jaunty, fully updated, intel X4500MHD. I didn't used to see this problem, but since upgrading to xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.6.3 I started getting this. Typically for me I load a program the pre-allocates some memory - a wireshark capture is a good one, and suddenly ubuntu will page ~200MB to disk. Even though there is 3GB+ of free RAM, it just keeps adding to the swap each time, and never seems to swap back.
Doesn't sound like there is any new version that fixes this yet, since still reported here as present in 2.7.99.1, but I'll try a new version when there is one that claims to fix this. -- [GM45] memory leak causes system to run out of memory (UXA/EXA) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
