Bug ID: 482483
Summary: plasmashell constantly growing in RAM usage until oom
killer kicks in
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: unhappy-end...@protonmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I'm having a problem with Plasma 6 GIT wayland session on a Gentoo system,
Xanmod kernel 6.7.7 custom config (I've also tested it on the default
gentoo-kernel-bin kernel, same issue) and Nvidia drivers. I can't figure out
why, but the plasmashell process continues to increase RAM usage until
systemd's oom killer kicks in. Switching the SceneGraphBackend over to software
seems to fix the issue, but that also introduces a bunch of other problems.
I've tried a brand new user with an untouched home directory and the issue
still persists.
I've tried a different default, stock kernel, problem still persists.
I have not tried an X session, as I don't have xorg-server installed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have my particular PC
2. Upgrade from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6
3. Watch plasmashell process continue to eat up RAM
EXPECTED RESULT
plasmashell to not grow in RAM usage little by little in an empty session until
oom killer kills it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Outside of recompiling my system with debug symbols, what else can I do to try
to help troubleshoot this?
