Infinite RAM usage
-
@gwen-dragon I don't planned to upgrade cause I don't want Sylvia, at least not for the moment. Maybe could be that the reason?
PS
Later i will try with Synaptic...@Pesala I know. My Vivaldi is already in english, but system not, and i don't want to swap cause I'm afraid that can wreck something in Nemo.
Anyway I would post in my language because with the help of the screenshots i thought @Gwen-Dragon understand my setting (that's my fault, sorry...)Edit:
I take a look right now within Synaptic and I can see the availability of Vivaldi (from the actual 1.13.1008.44-1 to 1.14.1077.50-1) but when I try to update an error occours about broken dependencies. I take a close look and this is how it show in Synaptic broken dependencies section:
Edit 2:
I uninstall old version and install 1.14.1077.50 The repo was added as:deb http://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/ stable main
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vivaldi.listLet's see with next stable releases if Update Manager notice me.

I swapped to Vivaldi recently and today I started to experience this on fedora 25.
I have quite a lot of tabs opened, but all hibernated. When I open a new tab it consumes all my remaining ram ~5GB within a minute. If I am not quick enough to kill it it freezes my system and I have to reset.
CTRL+T and clicking new tab both cause the issue. However, opening a bookmark or link in a new tab does not... There must be something up with the start page?
I had 6 windows opened (all hibernated tabs). I closed 5 and then opened a new tab without issues. I then opened a few windows with a single tab and experienced the same problem again. Could it be something to do with a high number of tabs + Windows?

@ovg Which version of Vivaldi?
-
@ayespy the latest 1.14.1077.50
-
@ovg why not download the snaphsot and see if it's any better in that regard? If it's the same, then just uninstall it. Linux keeps the stable and snapshot streams separate.

@ovg said in Infinite RAM usage:
fedora 25
I can assure you that neither Snapshot [my default] or Stable does this in Manjaro. I have an old Fedora VM [can't recall off the top of my head if it's 23, 24, 25, 26 or 27]. After lunch i shall fire it up, install or update V [can't even recall now if i previously installed V in it], then do some browsing therein to see if it also misbehaves like for you. Will let you know later...

@steffie Pictorial summary of my findings, fyi [Fedora 27; latest updates installed. Kernel = 4.15.3].

@steffie cool but it's not exactly my situation, I'm not cycling through all the tabs filling up my ram. Almost all of them are hibernated. I do have a HIGH number of tabs and I can keep opening them buy ctrl clicking links to open in a new tab fine, but for some reason opening a fresh new tab page, with no speed dials, causes 5GB to be used within a minute.
Also this problem has occurred after about a week of usage so I'm not sure what your experiment is likely to show since it's a fresh install.
Right now I have a bookmark for Google and I just right click and open in new tab to open new tabs.
I wonder if I set Google as my start page...
-
Interesting, changing my new tab to Google instead of speed dial fixes the problem...
@ayespy cool, are snapshots new more frequently released versions?
-
I accidently hit ctrl+b when pasting and realised that it's just a tab beside speed dial. Guess what? It started freezing! There is something seriously wrong with that page...
-
The problem is still there. I am running 1.15.1104.3 on Ubuntu 17 and Vivaldi will eventually always consume all of remaining memory. It will takie between 1-4 hours before that happens. There is this process called 'vivaldi-bin --new window' that is definitely causing the trouble.
-
@gwen-dragon Really? Gosh. That never occurs in my Manjaro KDE. Maybe Arch-based bases are somehow immune? This is after ~7 hours running time:
-
@steffie It has been mentioned a few times in this thread (by myself as well) that this occurs on Arch machines too.

Well, maybe on [mathematically]:
= (Sum Arch m/c's) - 2
It does not, ever, occur on my Tower or my Lappy. I must just be lucky then.
-
Since I've come back to work and updated Vivaldi to 1.14.1077.50 on Wednesday, everything is OK.
