Memory Leak

Open thwaller opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I have found that in troubleshooting a memory leak on the gnome-shell process that this extension appears to be the problem. I have come to this conclusion as when I disable the extension from system and reboot, there is no memory leak. Given approx 2 days, the leak grows the memory usage of gnome-shell upwards of 15GB before it causes problems requiring a reboot.

I am sure you will need more information to look into this, but I am not sure what specifics can help identify the problem.

My system specs:

  1. Fedora 35 Workstation
  2. RAM: 32GB
  3. GNOME 41.3
  4. Wayland
  5. dash-to-dock version: 71, installed via Fedora repo's.

I think you can help by using massif tools but the tool that can maybe give more integration with gnome is sysprof

I will need some time to learn how to use what you have suggested.

Providing collected info, if u need something just talk to me.

  1. Ubuntu 20.04
  2. RAM 16GB
  3. gnome-shell --version GNOME Shell 3.36.9
