zeitgeist-fts using up 600 MB of RAM

[Ian Santopietro]

Using Ubuntu 12.04 amd64, up to date as of 7/2/2012
zeitgeist-core Installed version: 0.8.99~alpha2-2

After opening up system monitor, I noticed that /usr/share/zeitgeist/fts-python/fts.py was using 650 MiB of RAM. This was about 5-10 minutes after booting the system and logging in.

i too am getting this issue. i previously had the issue with zeitgeist-daemon using over 200MiB of RAM. tonight i followed a few suggestions of upgrading with the zeitgeist ppa, then found that /usr/share/zeitgeist/fts-python/fts.py was using at least 240MiB of RAM.

i am using Ubuntu 11.10 i386

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Stephen (snape15)]

anything on this issue?

[Michal Hruby (mhr3)]

The fts.py was a temporary solution and is no longer part of zeitgeist package.

[Ian Santopietro (isantop)]

It is true that there is no more fts.py, and it isn't causing problems, but now there is a new process causing issues, called zeitgeist-fts (/usr/lib/zeitgeist/zeitgeist-fts)

[Michal Hruby (mhr3)]

Ian, could you attach your ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sql to this bug, so we can investigate? (mark it as private before doing so)

[Ian Santopietro (isantop)]

Attached "activity.sqlite".

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

How much does your zeitgeist-daemon process require?
How big was your DB before you sent it over...

I see more subjects than events which means you deleted some events i guess
Cheers

[Michal Hruby (mhr3)]

@Seif - the disproportional number of uris compared to events seems to be caused by U1 logging its uids in the subject origin field effectively creating twice as many uris as events.

[Ian Santopietro (isantop)]

@Michal - That would make sense; in a fresh installation, I notice this doesn't happen, but after enabling U1, this issue occurs reliably.

[Michal Hruby (mhr3)]

@Ian, could you please try with the latest zeitgeist (0.8.99~beta1) once it gets into the repos? Should be in a day or two...

[Ian Santopietro (isantop)]

Looks like this has been fixed by the latest zeitgeist. Thanks!

[Ian Santopietro (isantop)]

Spoke too soon. It's using up over 800 MiB right now. zeitgeist-core version 0.8.99~beta1-1

[Chris Johnston (cjohnston)]

I am still having this problem.

Version: 0.8.99~beta1-1

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

Yeah we are discussing the issue with Ubuntu1 so we can fix it. Ubuntu1
client is sending redundant events to Zeitgeist (partially our own fault)

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

This should be fixed in Zeitgeist 0.9, which will be uploaded to Precise soonish. Please let us know if it still happens after the update.

[Ian Santopietro (isantop)]

Looks good on my end. System's been up for a couple of hours now, and the zeitgeit-fts process is only using 6.2 MiB of RAM. Looks fixed to me!

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Awesome, thanks for your help on this! :)

[timbo (timbolino)]

Using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit here and have still the problem. zeitgeist-fts uses 400 Mb after a while.

[nemarona (nemarona)]

zeitgeist-fts taking 1.3 GB of RAM on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 amd64.

[Seif Lotfy (seif)]

Can you do "zeitgeist-daemon --replace"?

[stepfen (emmdarakis)]

I have the same problem (occupying about 700MB of ram in my case) with fully updated amd64 ubuntu 12.10 (upgraded 12.04 on release) .

"zeitgeist-daemon --replace" drops memory usage to approx 700kB

[h1bymask (h1bymask)]

The same problem for me.
Isn't it a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/zeitgeist-extensions/+bug/757727 ?

[Benjamin (nailartcenter)]

Same problem with zeitgeist-fts current 149 mb of ram.

Linux cf 3.2.0-37-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:51:02 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

top - 05:04:58 up 2 days, 9:40, 5 users, load average: 0.24, 0.42, 0.47

After "zeitgeist-daemon --replace &" is decreased to 1,7 MiB.

[alecive (alecive)]

Same problem here.

zeitgeist is eating 280MB of ram. After zeitgeist-daemon --replace it drops to 1,2 MB, but a single search in the dash makes it spike to the previous levels.

Ubuntu 12.04

Linux calliope 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 25 07:26:14 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[Minas (minas-mina1990)]

Here is a simple fix:

Open a terminal and execute this command:
rm -rf ~/.local/share/zeitgeist

This will delete the database that zeigeist-fst has made so far. Then you must(*) restart your PC and it will use 4.9 MB :)

If you don't, the dash search will return wrong results. This will temporary until you reboot.

[Markcortbass (markcortbass)]

Same problem with zeitgeist-fts current 520 mb of ram.

Ubuntu 13.04
Linux 3.8.0-31-generic (x86_64)

After "zeitgeist-daemon --replace &" is decreased to 3,4 MiB.
