Greetings lovely people,
The Culprits in question:
gnome-shell-calendar-server
evolution-calendar-factory
On GNOME 3.34.1 and ever since updating from 3.32, I've noticed that this task gnome-shell-calendar-server
starts out when I log in at around 30-40 MB of RAM used, and then like a few short hours later it's using over 600 MB of RAM. Is this normal? Does anyone else encounter this as well? I don't know if GNOME is having another sort of memory leak issue. If no one else has this issue, where might be the best place to report it?
One thing I'd like to mention is besides gnome-shell-calendar-server
eating up RAM, the provided screenshot below shows that evolution-calendar-factory
eats up RAM in much the same way, exponentially, but it doesn't eat it up as fast as gnome-shell-calendar-server
does. Also, keep in mind I do have Evolution mail installed (not Gnome Calendar), but even when I don't use Evolution or have it open, gnome-shell-calendar-server
just keeps eating up more and more RAM it never stops. If I don't kill or end the task, after a days worth of usage the task is eating well over 1 GB of RAM, which is insanity is it not?
Also, I don't know how relevant this may be, but I don't have GNOME Online accounts using any of my email stuff, but I do however have Evolution linked to my Gmail account which draws some of my calendar tasks, but for the majority of my calendar tasks, I've just entered them in manually via Evolution.
I attempted to post this on GNOMES's discourse, but it is not an active community at all sadly. I'd really like to bring this issue to someone's attention if not the Solus Devs, then the proper channels if someone could direct me in that direction. Thanks in advance for any help!
Attached below is a quite screenshot to show how much RAM the task is eating up.
