Openoffice Impress Memory Leak

Here is the presentation as promised....

The bug is easily reproduced in my comp too with same presentation and happens with some others too. I found my Xorg taking about 800 MB of memory and OpenOffice itself went up to about 600. The amount of memory in use increases as we spend more time on the slide show.

This bug can be considered confirmed, it happens to me too and on various presentations.

I experience the same problem (gutsy, openoffice.org-impress 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3), xorg mem usage at 90% at 1G RAM, and it does not go away when terminating Impress but only after restarting X.

Note that this bug is absolutely critical, since it renders Impress useless for replaying presentations, which is about the only truly indispensable functionality it has. Even rolling back Ubuntu to older versions of Impress would be an improvement (I assume that it worked at some stage?!). For now, I have to switch back to using a PPT output of my tediously prepared talk, and replay it on a Crossover-emulation of PowerPoint.

Please act fast.

Correction: The memory usage of Xorg now did go down without restart. It just took some time after terminating Impress.

Maybe this bug is dup of #183019 bug and vice-versa. Someone should check this

Same here with an info point in the public area running OOimpress in server mode.
Test between 2 machines:
A running ooimpress endless presentation
B running X server
On B memory usage by the Xorg process is constantly increasing, but not so fast as with DISPLAY=localhost:0
Increase will be endless until out of memory (incl. swap space) with "kill" by oom-killer under Linux.
Conclusion for now: it's OOimpress.
With version OO 2.0.4 (debian etch), this memory consumption happend in the process soffice.bin instead of Xorg actually.
Reproducible in client mode of OO (it does NOT happen in server mode only).
It hat been running without leakage in OO 1.3.x (but without feature to use jodconverter to get SWF on the fly).
any hints got from 3rd part ?

I believe that this bug may be fixed on Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) if anyone experiencing this problem can test on Hardy and let me know if it is fixed I would appreciate it. If it is the same issue as bug #183019 then it appears to be fixed in Hardy.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I believe that this bug has been corrected in Ubuntu hardy OpenOffice.org 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3 so I changed the bug to Fix Released. If after upgrading you still see this issue please feel free to reopen the bug.

I only saw the memory consumption of OOo rise by about 30MB over the entire presentation, and there was a fix added that I think may have solved the Xorg memory increase issue as well.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

I'm so sad to say that the bug hasn't been corrected, i had the last exam in my university and I was using ooimpress to show the presentation, and in the middle of this, the 2 GB!!! of memory were consumed for the process, I had to turn off my laptop in the hard way....it was soo stressful....well I hope that this bug will be corrected ASAP....We can NOT make presentation with openoffice.....

Bye

@Claudio Trujillo:
Can you please provide more information like the version of OpenOffice that you were using?

I reported it firt in Gutsy if I am not mistaken. But I still am
seeing this in 2.4 Hardy

Reopening to examine the issue again.

@donatello

I was using the last version installed in ubuntu gustsy gibbon fully updated, it's 2.3 but i don't remember the exactly version number(I don't have my laptop now) It is installed in a dell xpsm1210 with a nvidia geforce go 7300 Iguess, I will confirm in a couple of hours details about version and video card. Well I hope that it can help.

Thank's in advance.

Well, I have discovered that the problem is when i'm using some kind of effects of transition of each page of the presentation, when I use NO effect, the problem is gone. Well anyway there is an issue that should be solved.

I'm using openoffice 2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3 and I have an GeForce Go 7400, not 7300 how I said in the previus message. Ok guys I hope you can help us.

Thank's in advance

Do you still have this problem with openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 8.04?

I will tell you tonight if I still have this problem with openoffice.
Thank's for asking.

Bye.

It looks like it isn't giving me the memory leak with the slide show that I made before. Seems they have fixed it.
For me this bug is closed and fixed upstream.

Fix released upstream
