Version: 0.7.94 (using KDE KDE 3.1.94) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: Gcc 3.2.1 OS: Linux Apparently there's a memory leak in kopete which leads to an excessive memory consumption. This happens even when Kopete is "idle"; the memory use increases continuously making the system really slow; it is easily solved by killing kopete and starting it again, but then again it starts consuming memory. In this precise moment top reports that kopete is using 61% of the memory (on a 512RAM DDR machine).
Using Qt3.2? Do you have chatwindows open?
Sorry, missed that QT3.3.0b1; no chat windows open, kopete is in the 'system tray'.
This bug is probably a dupe of 71975, because even if you close all of your chat windows, the memory still leaks. So if you started kopete, then someone talked to you and went away, then you close the chatwindow, the memory will still leak (at ~4mb/min).
Yes, something like that, I talk to someone (I don't activate the away option), then close the chat window (to the system tray) and the memory consumption keeps getting higher; it increases faster with a chat window open, but it still does when its in the system tray (actually it does not obey a ratio, at a certain point, under no special circumstances, it starts cosuming memory); just killed it at 69%. Later I'll run a strace or gdb on it.
Yes, in CVS Martijn made a patch correcting this (it now only leaks when the chatwindow is open ). Also if you upgrade to QT 3.2 it will only leak to the pixmap cache limit ( 3 MB ) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71975 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71975 ***
Ok, I'll try that... Thanks.
Ugh, I meant "Qt 3.3" of course ;-)
Yes, thought so, didn't feel like downgrading to 3.2 :D
Nono you misunderstand. The huge insane leak is in QT 3.3. There isn't as much of a problem in 3.2. Its a bug in QT 3.3.
So, after all, I'll have to downgrade...

Actually, if anyone is able to create a testcase for Qt to send to TrollTech that would be most welcome. I'm running Qt 3.2 still and won't be able to update soon, so I can't fix it, and this *really* needs fixing before Qt 3.3 is finalized.
