You can check with xrestop whether an application causes X server memory usage to increase so much. If not, it would be good if you report this upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ (if no report already exits) and provide the link here. Beware of xrestop and xorg-server 1.13: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1060059 ... (In reply to comment #2) > Beware of xrestop and xorg-server 1.13: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1060059 > > ... Apologies https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57448 is a little more useful. The xrestop crash issue is fixed in 1.13.1. thanks for the xrestop info. I am still on this, but it is a productive system and therefore it could take some time until i am able to investigate further. i narrowed it durther down and found a kde bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314919 which was the cause of this memroy leak. therefore iam closing this bug. It's still a valid bug, just not in xorg-server. Created attachment 352492 [details, diff] Patch for pixmap leak Upsteam have committed a fix for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314919. The attached is built from this and appears to work (at least it did when I placed it in /etc/portage/patches/kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.10.4-r1/ and re-emerge plasma-workspace). Thanks, fixed in CVS. + 03 Jul 2013; Michael Palimaka <kensington@gentoo.org> + +files/plasma-workspace-4.10.5-leak.patch, +plasma-workspace-4.10.5-r1.ebuild: + Backport patch from upstream to solve a memory leak issue, wrt bug #447862. One upstream comment says its not totaly fixed. (In reply to Johannes Huber from comment #10) > One upstream comment says its not totaly fixed. Saw that, though I suspect that there are multiple leaks, and while the one identified in the bug "plasma-desktop is leaking memory in X if some icon in system tray is changing" is fixed, some others remain. To my mind an incomplete fix is better than no fix at all, especially as the incomplete fix addresses issues that arise from merely running an app out of the system tray. Well it makes not much sense to keep this open unless we get more specific. If you find another specific issue please open a new bug. (This is a bug about as specific as "The Linux kernel needs some CPU time.") |
