memory leak in plugins/libindicator-plugin.so??

lkwg82 · 2015-05-11 07:31:58

I just see one of the xfce-plugins has a memory consumption of 175M (RSS). My system is up for some 3 days, with a few hibernate and resume in between.

After killing this plugin it came up with just 32M. So I guess it leaks memory. Does anybody made the same experiences?

ps -o rss,command ax | grep -E "wrapper.*indicator"
33836 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper-2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libindicator-plugin.so 17 8388650 indicator Nachrichtenanzeige Stellt einen Leistenbereich für Unity-Anzeigen zur Verfügung.

I'm seeing similar behaviour. After my laptop was up for ~10 days, libindicator-plugin.so was consuming ~1GB RAM (RSS). This is xfce4-indicator-plugin 2.3.2-0ubuntu2 on a fresh Trusty Xubuntu install.

Happy to help debug this if someone can give me a clue where to start...

Cheers,
Dave

Might be helpful to create a bug report for this to bring it to the attention of the developers. Since you are using Xubuntu, you could start with:

ubuntu-bug xfce4-indicator-plugin

...Note: you will need a launchpad account to create the bug.

More information here.

You can also create a bug report directly at Xfce's bugzilla.
