Bug ID: 430934 Summary: Nice/Ionice Not Being Honored In .desktop Exec Product: plasmashell Version: 5.20.4 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: nroycea+...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY Niceness of a running application launched from the Application Launcher is not being applied. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right-mouse application in Application Launcher and "Edit application" 2. Go to application tab and prepend "Command" with "nice" and "ionice" values (-n 15 & -c 3). Save. 3. Run that application from the launcher. OBSERVED RESULT The niceness for the process is the default. EXPECTED RESULT The niceness should reflect what was stated in the command. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If you copy/paste that niced command in the terminal and then look at the niceness of the running process, that will show the change. Yet the same command used in the Launcher will not. EG. Exec(comment)= nice -n 15 ionice -c 3 <pathTo>/code-insiders (visual studio code/vscode) If you iotop to view that process PRIO, when it was run by the Launcher, you'll see it is the default "be/4", which is incorrect. But if you run that same command in the terminal and view the iotop for that process, it shows "idle", which would be correct. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
