Bug ID: 436119
Summary: Possible memory leak
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-performance
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bhance...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Hi there
I've been observing strange plasmashell behavior since it's installed. After
using it a couple of days (a couple of sleep-wakeup cycles) plasmashell starts
consuming a humongous amount of memory even though there are no
memory-intensive applications running in the background.
To lower the usage down, I have to either restart the plasmashell
(kquitapp5/kstart5) or reboot the device, otherwise, my total memory usage goes
up to %80-90, and swap is being used. Total usage reached around %88-%90 today
and lowered to %60 after restarting the plasmashell.
Is there any way to trace what consumes that much memory?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start the KDE as usual
2. Use suspend instead of turning-off for a couple of days
OBSERVED RESULT
Memory usage of the plasmashell keeps increasing
EXPECTED RESULT
Memory usage of the plasmashell should stay same
