Public bug reported: The process plasma-desktop uses most of time between 60 and 90% of my CPU when KDE is started.
In order to fix the situation (and make plasma-desktop use ~ 10% of CPU), the following works most of time 1. right click on the desktop 2. unblock widgets 3. re-block widgets When it does not work, the fact to change the wallpaper fixes the situation (I'm using globe -> OpenStreetMap). Notice that re-changing the wallpaper to OpenStreetMap does not re-create the problem. $ lspci |grep VGA 2:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) I have the same problem with an Nvidia card on an other computer. ** Affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kdeinit4: plasma-desktop takes 60-90% of CPU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
