Created attachment 359469 [details] Screen shot showing sensors-applet's memory usage Description of problem: The attached screen shot shows sensors-applet consuming nearly a gig of memory. In this instance, sensors-applet is being allowed to continue to throw up "Error updating sensor..." messages; the user is logged in on a machine different from the one the sensors applet was configured to monitor. So there may be some problem cleaning up after these messages. Growth is relatively slow; it's taken several days (of throwing up errors every couple of seconds) to grow to this size. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.1-2 How reproducible: Consistently. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run sensors-applet configured to monitor a much of things that don't actually exist on the host machine; allow it to continue to throw up errors. 2. Wait.
This has already been fixed, several months ago in the upstream sources, version >= 2.2.2, see SF bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2555807&group_id=128538&atid=711980 Can the Fedora packages be updated?

It's still leaking. It's gone from ~20 MB to ~60 MB resident over a few hours. It's throwing up notification windows ("Error updating sensor ...") every couple of seconds or so; so the leak probably has to do with those notifications.
Hi, Can you try https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-12141 and let me know if it still has memory leaks?
After running for a day with that update, sensors-applet is sitting on 233 MB resident; so it looks like it's still leaking.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
