Public bug reported: Binary package hint: appmenu-gtk
When leaving a computer on overnight (or, to make it even worse, for several nights) there's a noticeable decrease in desktop responsivness (the best way to describe it is: grab a window, like a terminal window, and move it around - it really continiously stops moving for a fraction of a second or so). Also, when looking in system monitor (during those slowdowns) - there's a high enough memory consumption for nautilus (over 900 Megabytes is what I noticed). Ways to reproduce: leave the computer on, work on it with everyday tasks. In a day, desktop responsiveness will be much lower. In a few days - desktop will be almost unusable. Memory footprint for nautilus will rise. Ways to stop: sudo service gdm restart helps. WAY TO FIX: sudo aptitude remove appmenu-gtk I fixed it permanently by uninstalling appmenu-gtk, as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1557451 http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/nautilus-memory-leak-fix-ubuntu-1004.html After uninstalling appmenu-gtk - nautilus no longer leaks, desktop is highly responsive and doesn't slow down over time. Couldn't find an appropriate bug report (fot this issue in Natty, one of the previous bug reports way ONLY on memory leak, but not desktop responsiveness and it was for older version of Ubuntu), so filing a bug. This issue is really bothering me. Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal Appmenu-gtk version: 0.2.1-0ubuntu3 If there's any additional information required, please let me know so I could provide it. UPDATE: not sure that desktop responsiveness correlates with nautilus memory footprint, might as well be two separate bugs. I'm more bothered with desktop responsiveness. ** Affects: appmenu-gtk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: appmenu-gtk When leaving a computer on overnight (or, to make it even worse, for several nights) there's a noticeable decrease in desktop responsivness (the best way to describe it is: grab a window, like a terminal window, and move it around - it really continiously stops moving for a fraction of a second or so).
