Description Dave Plater 2019-07-28 08:11:21 UTC 
Afer update to Build 20190723 of tumbleweed, the 20Tb problem has been fixed. But the biggest issue with memory leak is when you turn the projectM visualizer on. In just 5 seconds usage, the memory consumptions increases to few gigabytes and the swap usage keeps on increasing till the machine runs out of memory. The load increases and the machine becomes unresponsive.

At the moment I am using clementine by copying the executable from a FC30 build
I also have to copy the following shared libraries to have a working music player on tumbleweed

libcdio.so.18.0.0
libprojectM.so.2.1.0
libprotobuf.so.17.0.0
libQxtCore-qt5.so.0.7.0

Valgrind projectM-pulseaudio on versiom 3.1.0

This shows serious memory problems with projectM, it quits on 1000 different errors.
Comment 4 Luigi Baldoni 2019-07-28 09:22:04 UTC 
I've noticed a few similar things myself, but the new upstream management does not seem to be overly interested in whatever happens with projectM as plugin.

I wish I had a solution other than downgrading.
Comment 5 Dave Plater 2019-07-28 09:43:51 UTC 
I've opened an issue with them, 3.1.0 has a serious memory problem
See https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm/issues/233

Seems that they are keen to fix the problem.
