Bug ID: 466589 Summary: plasmashell memory usage grows rapidly and consumes all available RAM Classification: Plasma Product: plasmashell Version: 5.27.1 Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: generic-performance Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: bednarczyk.pa...@outlook.com Target Milestone: 1.0 Created attachment 156822 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=156822&action=edit screenshot plasma memory usage I originally posted this in Bug 430139 but Nate asked for a new bug to be created. Since very recently (not sure when exactly though) I have observed that the plasmashell process is consuming more and more memory at a frightening pace (e.g. usage grows to 22GB in the space of 3 minutes). Killing it doesn't always help (see video below). video of plasmashell memory usage growing to 22GB in the space of less than 3 minutes. https://mega.nz/file/o8pBARSY#QxC_k6BYt84bSUQje7RI74QNqMwYA9UjIuf3iMSFdMg valgrind trace: https://mega.nz/file/J0AhFIwK#pI_pFGmN8gWZCjHAjeuo1APerJ1rWoJavFPuwq3o1eo I also tried: 1) monitoring the process with memleax but nothing was reported despite growing memory usage; 2) downgrading to glibc 2.36 but that didn't seem to help Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.2.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 24 × AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
