[Bug 904520] New: upower memory leak
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904520 Bug ID: 904520 Summary: upower memory leak Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: sonichedgehog_hyperblast00@yahoo.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Since upgrading from openSUSE 13.1 to 13.2, the system immediately slows down and freezes after several hours to a day of uptime. Since this is usually the result of a memory leak, I waited to catch the process at fault before the machine went unresponsive. The cause appears to be a root process called upowerd, part of the upower package. http://software.opensuse.org/package/upower The process rests at about 1.1 MB of memory usage, so the leak is sudden and extreme when it happens. As a workaround, I kill the process immediately after logging in, which doesn't appear to break anything. Since this is likely an issue with the application, I suggest either disabling upower or downgrading / upgrading the version offered in 13.2 to one that doesn't have the problem. openSUSE 13.1 appears to have version 0.9.23 of upower, whereas 13.2 has version 0.99.1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904520 --- Comment #1 from Mircea Kitsune <sonichedgehog_hyperblast00@yahoo.com> --- I found a messy workaround to properly prevent the leaks, until this is solved: Add a system cron task that executes hourly (as root) with the following command: "pkill upowerd;upower". This restarts upower every hour, which appears to prevent the massive leak that would occur several hours later. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904520 --- Comment #3 from Mircea Kitsune <sonichedgehog_hyperblast00@yahoo.com> --- Thank you for the heads up. I updated the package to this version, and disabled the task to restart the process hourly. I will post a comment here if a memory leak occurs again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Therefore I conclude the updated version fixes the memory leak. Please include it in the 13.2-Update repository as a bugfix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
