prusswan (prusswan) wrote : suspected memory leak with indicator-keyboard

Description:

The system was previously on 22.04, then upgraded to 23.10 to the current daily 24.04. System will freeze up a few minutes after startup (with no apparent related crashes). After various trial and error, the possible cause is isolated to indicator-keyboard when running gnome-session-flashback (freeze does not happen anymore with flashback interface, after indicator-keyboard package is removed). Not sure why this is not happening with vanilla gdm3. Also, the freeze was first observed after the upgrade to 23.10.

**below from `sudo journalctl --since "3 hours ago" | grep indicator`**
