If I kill the process (kill -9) in runlevel 3, then return to runlevel 5, it once again starts at 4 MB, but it will grow to the same levels if left unchecked. I have deleted my ~/.pulse and ~/.dbus directories, but it made no difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the system normally. Actual Results: The polkitd process will consume more memory than it should. Eventually, if left alone long enough, the system will be forced to use swap, and if still left alone, the system will begin to crawl. Expected Results: The polkitd process should not consume enourmous amounts of RAM. openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop Latest updated packages. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
