Comment 14 for bug 1417637

Hello,

I added trusty-proposed source to my ubuntu 14.04 system and I installed
the new policykit-1 packaged. I reproduced the bug and it isn't solved.
Am I missing something in the verification process?

Best regards
Luis Lucas

> Bug description:
> A memory leak in policykit causes memory exhaustion over time in
> kdeinit4.
>
> [Test Case]
> 1- check memory usage of kdeinit4 under htop (RES column)
> 2- ssh in
> 3- check to make sure it stays constant
>
> [Regression Potential]
> If the patch is incorrect, policykit could possibly crash.
>
>
> Every time ssh login is made on ubuntu 14.04, kdeinit4 leaks 2-3 Mb
> (when kde is installed).
> According to previous bug report in:
> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934
> this is a bug in policykit-1 package, and it has been already fixed on
> upstream.
> Update of policykit-1 should fix this problem on kubuntu 14.04 and
> Ubuntu 14.04 + Kde.
>
> This bug is severe in some specific scenarios where ssh is often used.
> In my case, I have a lot of scripts running processes every hour between
> ubuntu and kubuntu machines using passwordless ssh login. In few days
> kubuntu machines don't have free memory, due to the referred leak.
