I have three FEs with 2GB that slowly
over the course of a week or<br>
so use use up all the memory and
eventually crash I think may be due<br>
to running out of swap. The amount of
memory usage seems to be<br>
related to the duty cycle of the FE i.e.
the more that the FE is<br>
used the faster it uses up memory.<br>
<br>
These systems are all running Mythbuntu
12.04 with fixes/0.27. The<br>
CPU usage also seems to be high on these
systems when they are idle<br>
30%-72%. I don't see anything in the
logs that indicates what's<br>
causing the apparently high CPU and
memory usage but I probably need<br>
to run with different logging options.<br>
<br>
Is this level of CPU and memory usage
normal? What would be a good<br>
approach to determining why these
systems are using so many<br>
resources when idle?<br>

My main FE runs 24/7 and on idle sits at
about 1-2% CPU usage. It has<br>
4Gb memory but is only using 1.7Gb at the
moment.<br>
<br>
Run 'top' from a command prompt to see
what your memory usage is, it<br>
will also show you what program(s) are
using your CPU, and work from<br>
there.<br>
<br>

I forgot to mention that I am using top to
see what the CPU and memory<br>
usage is. I also forgot to mention that
mythfrontend.real is the<br>
process that is using 30+% of the CPU and
30%-72% of the memory which<br>
seems unexpectedly high for idle usage.<br>

Unfortunately mythfrontend.real seems to be the
culprit on all three FEs.<br>

That's *really* strange. What distro are you on?
What hardware are you<br>
running on? What else is installed? Which version
of Myth are you running?<br>

All are running Mythbuntu 12.04 with fixes/0.27. Two are
Nvidia ION based systems and the third is an AMD dual
core with an Nvidia 210.<br>
These are dedicated to Mythtv so I haven't installed
anything beyond the basic distro and the Nvidia driver.<br>
<br>
If I restart mythfrontend it initially runs with about
2% CPU and 13% memory when idle. When I play a recording
it runs at 18% CPU and 20% memory. While browsing the
recordings the memory usage rises to 40% which I presume
is the result of loading all the coverart and fanart
images.<br>

<div>I know nothing about mythbuntu, sorry, but any chance
you're using 32 bit? 64 bit is more widely used and thus
better tested these days.<br>

Is there anything amiss in the logs? I'm running both 64 bit and
32 bit, but don't have Nvidia cards. Not seeing anything here at
all like that.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
The logs don't appear to have any serious errors - just a few
decoding errors due to OTA glitches.<br>
