Title:
indicator-datetime uses excessive memory
Status in Canonical System Image:
New
Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On my Aquaris 4.5, OTA-13, indicator-datetime
15.10+15.04.20160820.1-0ubuntu1, it uses too much RSS. A typical RSS
is 315892, almost three times as much as unity8.
I believe this is an OTA regression. I'm not sure if it regressed from
OTA-11 or OTA-12.
Just now, I got caught in an oom killer loop with constant killing of
unity8-dash because of this, making my phone unusable. I had to kill
indicator-datetime manually. It then restarted automatically and now
uses 80456 RSS only. I see bug 1633319 exists complaining about a
memory leak. It's not exactly the same version since mine is
15.10+15.04.20160820.1-0ubuntu1 and that one is
15.10+16.10.20160820.1-0ubuntu1. But perhaps the upstream versions are
the same or something? Perhaps the two are dupes, but I'll let someone
more familiar make that determination.
I have only a handful of alarms (perhaps five on average; rarely more)
but I do have my Google calendar syncing with perhaps hundreds of
events. However, there's no reason that this should cause indicator-
datetime to use more RSS; it shouldn't be keeping these in memory.
