versions 1.6.x - 1.7.x have a memory leak

atilla trinidad · Post by **atilla trinidad** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 8:09 pm

My distro:
ALT Linux Master 2.4 release with 2.6.9 alt11 kernel - the stable
and all final updates (kde 3.3.1, gtk2.0+, etc..)

at start i had bygfoot 1.6.2 then update to 1.7.3

And i have a problem with memory: every ~20 minutes (5-6 matches) swap and physical memory expires. Only reboot saves.
8((
Please advise!

i had such a problem reported to me some time ago. it turned out that it was a windowmanager fault; some kde-gtk windowmanager style was buggy or so.

try playing with another windowmanager; i hope that'll help. and maybe there are others who experience the same problems?

I have the same problem with 1.8.1

Each match I play Bygfoot eats 10~15mb of ram

Wm: Xfce
Gtk theme: Clearlooks

But it seems to do it also with other WMs (Gnome, KDE, fluxbox) and gtk engines (pixmap, bluecurve, industrial)

But perhaps my installation has some troubles, since in the help window there is "Bygfoot 1.4.2". Does it happen only on my computer?

so using another windowmanager and/or theme doesn't help? that's very unfortunate

i don't have a clue what this could be. maybe you should try getting a cvs version of the 1.9 branch and see whether the same problem occurs (don't expect too much, though, that version isn't done yet).

i don't think this is related. and i know only of two other people who reported these problems, the one who started this topic and another one on whose machine the problem disappeared after switching to the default gtk theme.
