2009-12-31 20:40:23 Linard Verstraete description Binary package hint: system-tools-backends *** Platform *** Xubuntu Hardy 8.04 system-tools-backend 2.6.0-0ubuntu7 When you use the "Shared Folders" menu-entry for the first time and do nothing but hit every close button you see, your memory usage will be increased for about 3 minutes by 90 MiB, and for 10 MiB untill the next reboot. *** Reproduction Problem 1*** Step 1. Open "Shared Folders" through the drop-down menu "Applications". Step 2. You get a pop-up window where you are asked to Install Services, click on the "Close"-button. Step 3. Then you see the remaining window titled "Shared Folders". Click on the "Close"-button. Step 4. Your memory has now increased with around 90 MiB. Details: 8x SystemToolsBack 10MiB ~ 13 MiB SystemToolsBack: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share//system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m "AllWithDifferentOptions" Step 5. After a while, around 3 minutes, they all are all cleared, expect 1 SystemToolsBack remains (/usr/bin/perl /usr/share//system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m Platform) This "SystemToolsBack -m Platfrom" also survives a log-out / log-in. You have to reboot before it's cleared. *** Expected behavior *** Step 1 through step 3 the same. Step 4. Immediate clearance of memory usage. Step 5. Immediate clearance of memory usage. *** Additional note *** I have found bug #64560 describing the problem for Step 5. Nevertheless, this bug isn't a duplicate of bug #64560 because the bug described here puts bug #64560 in a bigger picture and the origin of problem for Step 4 can easily be totally different for bug #64560. I shall also reopen bug #64560 since it happened again and will add a reference to this bug.
