gnome-system-monitor 2.8.1 does not distinguish application memory and buffer
memory and as a result shows a constantly maximum memory curve. It is supposed
to show only app memory , as app+caches always sum up to all the mem available.
I have attached a screenshot.At the same time:
obelix@localhost ~ $ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1010 993 17 0 197 509
-/+ buffers/cache: 286 724
Swap: 737 0 737
As you see half of the memory is caches.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.run gnome-system-monitor
2.
3.
Actual Results:
it shows me the memory used by apps+caches
Expected Results:
It is supposed to show app memory only
