Anyone noticed anything lately with plasmashell? I think it started
happening after Qt was upgraded from 5.15.3 to 5.15.4. At login, the
desktop is very unresponsive and sluggish. Mouse clicks take over a
second to register.
The plasmashell process is hogging one core of the CPU to almost 100%.
It only happens on login. Logging out and back in again usually fixes it.
I've had this problem for at least 2 years, can't find the cause. I
sleep/resume a lot and figured it was some race condition.
I have a Konsole shell auto-open one resume or logon so I can drop to
the shell and issue `killall plasmashell && plasmashell &`.
I've even tried starting with a fresh home directory and have not seen a
difference. I don't use any plugins either.
Do you have an nvidia card? This machine that constantly has this issue
does, but my laptop (intel graphics) does not.
