nemo and nemo-desktop uses a ridiculous amount of memory #3376
Comments
I haven't been able to replicate this on my end. I have around 70 MB total for nemo and nemo-desktop. Can you share more information about your configuration? Do you have any plugins enabled? Did anything else change on your system?
Was something recently installed or updated? |
I'm not an expert and my English is poor, so please bear with me. Plugins? I use the weather applet and basically nothing else. I will observe this more closely over the next few days and let you know what I have observed. |
Try wiping your thumbnail cache:
Then restart nemo/nemo-desktop. If that doesn't help, try:
You'll get lots of warnings and nemo won't look right, but I'm curious if the memory issue still happens. ** Don't try both of those suggestions at once please, for diagnostic purposes Check any bookmarks to mounts (maybe some broken ones?), unmount any removable drives |
Thank you very much. I will do what you recommended and see if it helped. |
I applied the clear cache command and it seems to have worked. I also used this second command.
Thank you very much for help. |
Distribution
LMDE 6
Package version
nemo 6.0.2
Frequency
Quite often
Bug description
Open Nemo windows use a ridiculous amount of memory and it increases over time.
After an hour it can reach 2.5 GB and after two hours even 3.8 GB
This has only been happening for a few days.
Previously, 5-6 days ago, there was no such memory consumption
Steps to reproduce
I simply open the Nemo window and leave it open. Nothing more.
Expected behavior
I think 2.5 GB and above is a bit too much for just an open Nemo window.
