Bug ID: 394983
Summary: Search application, causes high CPU load (and heating
problems)
Product: Discover
Version: 5.12.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
If searching for application, it never stops.
Al-tough that might arguable valid (aka: big repository to search, and/or
continuously updated). It functionally is incorrect. Let's assume that is a
bug, because it will cause the process being active and so a very high CPU
load. In certain cases it may cause heating problems and defects to hardware.
Note that this issue increases when running as virtual machine (Aka: guest-os
in vbox).
So a more proper behavior would be to wait for input [Search next button] from
the user to continue searching after the first is found. For the case nothing
(so far) found repository specific conditions (aka, 90% of apps searched) or a
timeout (aka: 600 seconds) could be applied, A application dialog [Nothing
found, so far: Continue searching? | Abort ?] would be the typical KDE user
friendly way to do it.
Note: No crash, so no stack trace included.
