Bug ID: 465990 Summary: Plasmashell eats more than 10Go of RAM Classification: Plasma Product: plasmashell Version: 5.27.0 Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: generic-performance Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: quelque_...@yahoo.fr Target Milestone: 1.0 Created attachment 156422 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=156422&action=edit Ram usage as shown by top. SUMMARY At the moment, I have my plasmashell process using more than 10Go of RAM, plus the start menu opens but refuse to launch any program. The alt+f2 command works though. Some extra details that may be useful: After an unexpected shutdown during an update, I had to fix the system, and reinstalled a couple of programs, including linux that was broken. At reboot, I had this issue with plasmashell so I tried several things: - reinstall every program that started with plasma-* - remove the plasma* files in ~/.cache - delete ~/.config/plasma-workspace Nothing helped. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start the computer 2. Login in SDDM 3. Open the Konsole (with alt+f2) and execute `top`. OBSERVED RESULT The `top` command shows that plasmashell has more than 10Go of RAM used, even at startup (and it stays that high during the usage of plasmashell). Plus, I can't start any application from the start menu (even though the start menu open as expected). The rest of plasmashell seems to work as expected. EXPECTED RESULT I expect the RAM consumption to be under 500Mo, like before the upgrade/crash. And to be able to start applications from the start menu.
