Bug ID: 356670
Summary: Plasma shell memory leak let subsequent applications
run out of memory
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.4.3
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: renda.kr...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
After the most recent system updates I encounter a heavy memory leak which lets
applications like Chromium, Chrome, Firefox, Maven builds etc. run out of
memory. It is jard for me to analyze, but I try to collect the necessary
information.
OS: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20151209
uname -a: Linux rkrell 4.3.0-2-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Nov 14 16:19:19 UTC
2015 (734b32c) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I opened the Gnome System Monitor to get an idea of a suspicious application -
the most common one for all failure situations which consumes most memory is
plasmashell:
- Virtual Memory: 10 GB
- Resident Memory: 435,2 MB
- Shared Memory 204,4 MB
- X-Server memory: 2,3 MB
followed by baloo:
- Virtual Memory: 5,3 GB
- Resident Memory: 88,5 MB
- Shared Memory 17,2 MB
- X-Server memory: 0 kBytes
Several weeks ago with previous KDE versions this didn't happen.
I'll append several output I get from my system, if you're interested please
tell me what else to provide, I'm not sure.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Logon to KDE
2. Open Chromium/Chrome (or whatever app usually consuming a bit more memory)
Actual Results:
Most of the tabs of about 20 open tabs don't open.
