Hi, I am sorry if this is a bad place for this message, but googling didn't give me only one more suitable launchpad result and that had been maked as a duplicate of this one. Recently my computer became very slow and upon starting "System monitor" I realized that Compiz was using 5.5GiB (Sic!) of (writable)memory, 7.7GiB of virtual memory and constantly using 8-22% of processor power (if I read these columns correctly). As it happens 7.7GiB is also the amount of installed memory - maybe related?
I had probably only used open office write, evince, Thunderbird, Skype, Jupiter (0.1.9) with a second screen, and Firefox with Youtube. My computer had been on for a few days (ca 4 days) and been suspended during the nights and most of the days. I have also opened the dash many times. I don't know if this is the same bug? I don't know if this is a memory leak? I was not clever/awake enough to take a screenshot or copy some log or something, but merely restarted the computer (the computer was also too unresponsive to do much googling). I am sorry for this. But at least this is reported somewhere on the internet now... If this happens again I'll try to be better. Ubuntu 12.10 64bit, Lenovo T410 (GMA) 7.7 GiB RAM (not original), Intel core i7 M620, Nvidia NVS 3100M using driver 304.51. /Johan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/982434 Title: Opening the dash causes memory usage to climb dramatically, and never comes back down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/982434/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
