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.
Reproducible: Sometimes
