[Bug 282604] New: Memory leak

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282604 Summary: Memory leak Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: omgwtfvroom@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de If I go to My Computer (sysinfo:/) in Konqueror, a megabyte of free RAM is eaten every time I click refresh. This resulted in many weird things such as the contents of the K-Menu disappearing, KDE crashing, and being returned to the log in screen. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282604 ------- Comment #1 from rccj@ricreig.com 2007-06-08 18:05 MST ------- I can verify on 3 different v10.2 machines on my local LAN that this occurs. I never noticed it before but it does explain a couple of unexplained and unwanted logins, or re-logins that happened when I was using a lot of system memory and opened a sysinfo window and refreshed it a couple of times to see if a drive still had enough space and bam...I was logged out and presented with a login screen and all of my running programs were killed in the process. This has happened both before and after I upgraded KDE to the latest available version. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Also, I can only reproduce this problem only on testing machine with ATI card (radeon driver) but not on my primary machine with nVidia card (nvidia driver), I'm not sure if it's relevant. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=282604 ------- Comment #8 from rccj@ricreig.com 2007-06-14 07:11 MST ------- On my desktop is an icon called 'My Computer', installed when my user was created. As you can see, when that icon is launched, a window is launched in konqueror pointing to sysinfo:/ showing the state of my system. By hitting the refresh icon in the window and observing the amount of memory displayed, you will see it decrease. In my system when I am running large number of programs in other desktops, I can apparantly run out of memory doing this and I find myself being logged out and all running processes killed and I am presented with another login session which starts with my full complement of memory. None of my previous programs are running but any that are normally started at login will be restarted. This happens on all of my machines which currently are all at 10.2 and running 3.5.7 (I believe it is) KDE. Previously I had no idea why I was occasionally being logged off until the original poster mentioned the bug and I tested it and found myself being logged out suddenly after a while of noticing the decreasing memory. I don't know if the memory loss is caused by KDE, sysinfo, X or whereever, I can only 'see' it as described and feel its effects as noted.

I applied the patch as you suggested to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and logged out (did not reboot machine) and upon relogging in, I tested the sysinfo refresh repeatedly with NO apparant memory leak. Thus, your hunch appears to be on track. At least you now know where to look to actually fix it for everyone.
