Bug ID: 359426 Summary: Plasmashell process uses a huge amount of memory making the computer overloaded and KDE unresponsive Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Debian testing OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: g...@freemail.hu CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org I have noticed that since the Debian stable -> testing upgrade my computer sometimes becomes extremely slow with high disk activity. From KDE I can't fix the problem, eventually everything just stops. I used to switch off the computer to be able to work again. I could not find a reason why this happens or what triggers this behaviour. Recently I have noticed that I can switch to the character console and work there. From the console I have noticed that the plasmashell process use a huge amount of memory. Killing the plasmashell process restored the responsiveness in the graphical interface and the already running applications, so I could finish and save my work and properly close the applications.
