Ubuntu – Variety eating up memory and cpu

memory leakwallpaper

I am using Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit, 2gb ram. I intalled variety and using for last two months and it was working fine. But recently my system after bootup was not responding. The top command showing 'convert' is using nearly 1gb of memory and 90% of cpu. I identified that variety is calling convert command. After I uninstalled variety the problem is gone. Came back again after reinstall. Cleaning cache did not work. Help me to use variety as it was before.

convert is a part of imagemagick. Try reinstalling all packages related to it that you have installed - may be one of them got damaged or wrong-linked.
