I recommend using smemstat over a long period of time to capture the change in memory, for example, running smemstat to capture memory changes every 60 seconds for 120 minutes, use:
sudo smemstat 60 120 -o smemstat.json smemstat will capture changes in memory and dump the data into a json file. Hopefully that will provide some hint of what's eating memory over time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572801 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity desktop uses much more ram than Ubuntu 15.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
