I have a 64bit Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa with kernel 5.4.0-72. My desktop manager is Xfce which came with the Mint installer.
98% of the time the attached monitor is turned off and when I rarely have to connect to the system I do so remotely with TeamViewer.
My problem is that within 5-6 days (maybe faster..?) of uptime xfdesktop consumes most of my RAM and possible my swap as well.
This is my free -h:
Code: Select all
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 6,8Gi 5,6Gi 416Mi 31Mi 783Mi 888Mi
Swap: 2,0Gi 2,0Gi 8,0Mi
Code: Select all
3.0 GiB + 4.4 MiB = 3.0 GiB xfdesktop
What can I do to identify the problem and stop xfdesktop to consume that much of RAM?
Thanks!
