[00:22] Arghh raring's broken time handling is really getting me down. [00:24] My actual time, the time it displays in the clock widget and the time KRunner claims it currently is in my timezone are all different. === elijah is now known as Guest58020 === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:27] hello. plasma desktop seems to be leaking pixmaps. my Xorg process grows in memory usage over days and the cuprit seems to be plasma-desktop [01:32] samskiter: What version? [01:33] SonikkuAmerica: 0.4 [01:33] samskiter: Do you mean 10.04? [01:33] samskiter: (I was talking about the Kubuntu version, to be clear) [01:34] SonikkuAmerica: ah right [01:34] SonikkuAmerica: im on 13.04 [01:34] Oh OK. [01:35] plasma-desktop is version 0.4 [01:35] I figured. [01:35] cool [01:35] samskiter: I would first suggest getting Ubuntu Tweak and clearing the cache via the Janitor [01:36] what happens to lts kubuntu after its done in 2014? [01:36] nothing will get updates? [01:36] ashes: What, 12.04? [01:36] the branch freezes [01:36] SonikkuAmerica: yes [01:36] !12.04 [01:36] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 [01:36] ashes: It didn't say that before... it'll be supported until April 2017. [01:37] oh. i thought it was next year [01:37] sorry [01:37] SonikkuAmerica: could you explain the process of clearing the cache in more detail please? [01:37] samskiter: What Ubuntu Tweak's GUI will do is help free space on your computer by ditching the APT cache and most popular program caches. [01:38] ashes: No biggie. Kubuntu's LTS plan is the same as Ubuntu's (Unity's). [01:38] SonikkuAmerica: okkk, but it wont be able to clear out all this memory that's being taken up by the Xorg process? [01:39] samskiter: If it's taking up too much CPU... that's another story. [01:39] SonikkuAmerica: its not. its taking up too much memory [01:39] RAM? [01:39] it increases over 3/4 days [01:39] yes ram [01:39] its a memory leak [01:40] I'd file a bug report in plasma-desktop. [01:40] !bug [01:40] If you find a bug in Kubuntu, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting to report the issue to the developers. [01:40] s/in/against* [01:40] so you dont recommend this ubuntu-tweak thing? [01:41] is there not more information i can extract to narrow the bug down? [01:41] samskiter: Not for this. [01:41] samskiter: (Answer to Q1) [01:41] samskiter: For Q2, you said it was leaking pixmaps? [01:42] as far as other people in other IRC channels say yes [01:42] (personally, i dont know what a pixmap is, I just wanted to try and narrow the prblem to the point i can submit a useful bug report) [01:43] samskiter: Install Valgrind and use it to find where plasma-desktop is leaking then. [01:43] [ sudo apt-get install valgrind ; valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full plasma-desktop ] [01:44] OK. Ill have a go, but i've heard valgrind will slow my computer to a crawl [01:45] That's because Valgrind sandboxes whatever is running inside it. [01:45] yea, so i heard. also, thats not the correct way of starting plasma-desktop is it? [01:45] and presumably i need to kill it before i run valgrind [01:47] Probably. [01:47] Which means switching to a tty [01:48] right then. running valgrind now [01:49] where does valgrind leave it's results? [01:54] samskiter: Good question. If you don't see anything, check /var/log/ for a directory or file that says "valgrind"? [01:59] SonikkuAmerica: i think it just outputs staight into the temrinal [01:59] anyway, heres a load of what it output [01:59] http://pastebin.com/s71DanwU [01:59] OK [02:00] before it crashed. there is a summary at the bottom [02:00] im not sure i got enough running time really.... but maybe there is something useful in there [02:02] samskiter: Do you have an analog clock with a second hand running as a widget anywhere? [02:02] SonikkuAmerica: nope. i dont use widgets [02:02] OK. [02:03] there's a reason they didnt take off on windows... [02:03] Are you using the proprietary NVIDIA driver? [02:03] (lol) [02:03] SonikkuAmerica: im using bumblebee [02:03] An Optimus... [02:04] You should file a memory leak bug at bugs.kde.org regarding this then. [02:04] yes. but I asked around in #bumblebee when first diagnosing the issue and im not using any features that would cause an issue apparently. so i was sent to #linux-gfx [02:04] kde bugs not ubuntu bugs? [02:05] plasma-desktop isn't part of Ubuntu; it's part of KDE [02:06] Remember to tell them that it's Bumblebee or it'll be a dupe of another similar issue with NVIDIA prop drivers that got fixed in a new update of the NVIDIA driver. [02:06] "then you were not using it. then you're using bumblebee only for powering down the nvidia card, if at all, and it is not responsible for memory consumption in your primary X" [02:07] its not a bumblebee issue apparently [02:08] That just means it's not a Bumblebee issue... the issue is that of plasma-desktop. [02:10] ah ok [02:10] well ill mention all this === jbracker is now known as Guest46531 [02:40] SonikkuAmerica: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319891 here it is [02:40] KDE bug 319891 in general "Plasma-desktop leaks pixmaps (valgrind output) - High X memory usage" [Major,Unconfirmed] [02:40] thanks for the help btw [02:41] You're welcome. Looks good on details. The next thing is to sit back, relax, and wait. [02:42] yea. there are soem similar-ish reports around there. so might get marked duplicate.. === mkv is now known as m4v === markovh_ is now known as markovh [03:15] Здорово!!!
