libre office - task manager

[marbles]

libre office 6.4.7.2 is hogging up memory and slowing the system down

does libre office have a task manager (like internet browsers do) so i can kill processes

if not, what do you suggest i turn off LO

thx

Your libre is out of date, I have v7.4.7.2, or perhaps you mistyped your version?

How much memory does it consume? and how do you determine that amount?
If you're using htop to determine memory usage you should look at resident and shared memory but not virtual memory.

Please share your system info, output of:
inxi
sudo inxi -jm

LibreOffice only uses RAM when it is open it does not when closed
Here is my HTOP - I have LibreOffice installed but it is closed and looking at the MEM usage the only thing showing is Firefox since I am online

even the gnome-system-monitor shows the LibreOffice is not open it is listed alphabetically

unless you have it open all the time what you are suggesting is not possible - and leaving it open and it is idle the usage would be minimal - so it may be something else causing your RAM usage

thank u for your prompt response;

yes i wrote the correct version.

to get memory usage i am using control shift escape - what is the name of this program (isn't it just linux's task manager) - what is the memory it lists there? resident/shared/virtual?

yes i have libre open all the time. who doesn't? come on dude. why would i go through the manual labor of opening and closing it everytime i need to use it. come on dude. stop giving me a hard time

hisham's top results for LO;
virtual - 2264m
res - 1370m
shared - 96400 (does'n't say M at the end of it)

task manager results for LO;
RSS = 1.3 GIG

so what you 2 are saying is that since i have LO open all the time, it is such an inefficient program that it just hogs up your memory

I do not have LibreOffice open all the time unless I am going to use it - so I ran my own test on it's RAM usage when I first open Writer it used 1.6 % of memory after it was open and minimized after 10 minutes of sitting there it was 0.1 % usage so no heavy usage here I am using version 24.8.0 - no one is giving you a hard time - I think it is the other way around you are giving those who try to help a condescending attitude

That's not a lot at all and quite normal for modern applications.
Your documents must be big and you probably have several libre programs or documents open because here on my PC single document consumes RES\SHR: 177M/116M

Since you did not share your system and memory info as requested I can't tell why you consider it's hogging your RAM.
Probably you're having a ton of programs open and that accumulates your RAM usage IDK.

I use console wordgrinder this is efficient as possible . This run on vs2-free with 1GB ram
