Public bug reported: I've installed Kubuntu 11.04 beta updating from a previous kubuntu (which was just installed from a 10.10 standard ubuntu, installing kubuntu-desktop and uninstalling all the gnome stuff). This computer is a HP dv6810 laptop, 3 yr old with an old battery that barely charges. Hence, I guessed this was related to the same thing as gnome's battery-indicator problem eating memory... and I removed it system tray. No good. Disabled Stagi and nepomuk as well... the 100% processor is no more (heh) but this problem still appears. Now I'm testing with the whole system tray gone (maybe notifications...) but it looks like it grows as well.
The ubuntu-bug capture I'm sending was generated after an hour of use. The screenshots relate to previous tests (the last was from last night and today morning). Hopefully it will help you on catching the leak. alfabravo@alfabravoTiger:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 alfabravo@alfabravoTiger:~$ sudo apt-cache policy kdelibs kdelibs: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-5ubuntu2 Version table: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-5ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe amd64 Packages alfabravo@alfabravoTiger:~$ sudo apt-cache policy kdelibs5 kdelibs5: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu3 Version table: 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: kdelibs-bin 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Apr 14 11:20:35 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/kdeinit4 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: kde4libs UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-04-11 (3 days ago) XsessionErrors: (knotify4:7886): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_debug_add_log_function: assertion `func != NULL' failed ** Affects: kde4libs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde4libs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760877 Title: kded4 process grows on memory usage -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
