Bug ID: 382288 Summary: libQt5Core5 5.9.1 introduces memory leak and plasmashell crash Product: plasmashell Version: 5.10.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: sonichedgehog_hyperblas...@yahoo.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 Since upgrading from libQt5Core5 5.9.0 to 5.9.1, I experience two issues with plasmashell, which seem to be caused by the same core problem. The first is that the desktop causes massive memory usage. In over an hour, my system goes from using 2GB of memory (after booting and opening my applications) to approximately 8GB! However this memory is not attributed to any one process; It seems to be disk cache memory, which is further indicated by the fact that issuing the command "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" causes some of it to be freed up (not all). The second issue is that every few hours, plasmashell will crash and restart. I use an image slideshow wallpaper, and before the crash it always becomes black instead of an image... plasmashell then dies immediately after I attempt to click anything on the desktop. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
