Memory leak in Cinnamon 3.8.9

Post by g3ntry »

I see some crazy memory leaking going on with Cinnamon 3.8.9. I tried stripping out applets, it made no difference. It gets pretty sluggish above 5 gig.

Hello, can you please post the result of the following terminal command, and enclose it in code tags? That's the button marked </>.
This is needed for pretty much any question about your system, so it's a good habit to post it straight away.

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz
If you're having trouble doing this, let me know and I'll explain more

Hi, Moem,

I have a similar problem in Cinnamon 4.0.9 described in viewtopic.php?f=208&t=287614. My inxi output is there as an attachment. I didn't see your post on this topic until today. I'll try to get updates emailed to me for this thread, too.
