Comment 23 for bug 225615

I am using Intrepid Ibex (well actually Linux-Mint 6) AMD64. I downloaded a few small **audio** podcasts with RB and now I am stuck at 3.9Gb RAM usage (out of 4Gb) - gvfs using some 2.5Gb!

I can't install Jaunty on this rig because the older X1950 Pro (512) ATI drivers are incompatible with the newer X-Server version in use in Ubuntu 9.04. The newer ATI drivers (Catalyst 9.xx series) which are compatible with Jaunty are incompatible with my card (due to ATI dropping driver support for R500 series and previous).

I couldn't get Ubuntu 8.04 LTS or Mint 5 to install. The installer just drops out to the Busybox. So that is not an option either...

So I like many others use Intrepid and suffer a memory leak the size of the USA!! Not too impressed 'bout this... This is after all a major bug - not a little glitch... Since Jaunty is effectively incompatible with ATI cards R500 (& previous) there will be a lot of folks stuck on 8.10 without a paddle...
