amichairthere seems to be a serious memory leak since the upgrade to 16.1006:39
amichairthe total RES is less than 2G, yet it shows 14G used + 3G swap (which was never used before), 36M buffers, 450M cache06:40
amichairis this a known issue?06:40
amichairany way to diagnose it?06:40
hateballamichair: what process uses such memory?07:02
amichairhateball: the total RES of all processes looks like around 2-3G07:10
amichairhateball: does that mean it's a kernel leak? that doesn't appear anywhere?07:10
amichairhateball: the system is hardly usable, thrashing all the time, will have to restart soon - is there anything i can check before that?07:11
hateballamichair: what are you using to check? top?07:12
amichairhateball: htop07:12
amichairfree -h agrees about the totals07:12
amichairusing 4.8.0-26-generic07:15
amichairhateball: any ideas?07:35
hateballamichair: Not really, no07:36
hateballI can only say I don't experience the same thing07:36
amichairhateball: ok, thanks. I'll have to restart every couple of days then, until it's fixed :-(07:39
amichairlike the good old windows 95 days07:39
hateballheh07:39
hateballamichair: and you've made sure it's not a plasmashell leak by just restarting that?07:40
amichairhateball: wouldn't that show high RES for plasma process?07:40
hateballamichair: sure07:41
hateballbut if *nothing* shows high memory, it's a starting point I guess?07:42
amichairhateball: plasmashell using 108M RES07:42
amichairhateball: It doesn't show up for any process, which is why I suspect it might be within the kernel07:42

aniketh_http://kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-6-4-available-in-16-04-backports/09:30
aniketh_Was following this tuts09:30
aniketh_Is it possible that my system could break by using that backports ?09:30
hateballWell, anything is possible. But I would say that most of us that use 16.04 have been running backports for months without issues09:33
hateballaniketh_: a oneliner if you feel like using it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade09:33
aniketh_I know how to do. But wasn't sure if it would break my system or not09:37
aniketh_Anyways will give it a try09:38
aniketh_hateball: Thanks09:38
hateballI am using it as we speak ;d09:38
aniketh_hateball:  Cool :D09:38

John__Hello, I bought a new laptop with amd gpu and i'm confused about the current state of amd drivers. Can someone explain what are all these drivers, fglrx, ati, amdgpu, amdgpu-pro? I want the best recommended driver for performance20:48
chcknrubThe reason while linux can't be the desktop while android became a mobile desktop is because no money can be made out of it.21:04

diego__Hello.  I need help with my laptop.  It gets turned off when I unplug it, even though on full battery.21:28
diego__I didn't know what component to report the bug on.  Thanks.21:29
valoriediego__: that doesn't sound like a software problem21:39
diego__Oh.  Okay.21:44
diego__While I don't think the battery has run out, maybe it's not well connected or something.21:45
diego__I'll explore in that direction.  Thank you.21:46
valorieor it is a damaged connector which shorts something as it is pulled out21:46
valorieI've had to replace the battery and the connector part of the cord both, in other computers21:46
diego__It also misreads the charged level sometimes.21:47
valorieif you can successfully suspend, you might check if that same thing happens if the laptop is suspended21:48
valorieif so, it can't be the software; gotta be hardware21:48
diego__I'll try that now.  Let's see.21:49
diego__Actually it didn't turn off.  One thing that makes it difficult is that it's not consistent on when it does turn off.21:51
diego__I'll be aware about when that happens and report.  Thanks a lot.21:52
