Description jeanpaul145 2010-04-25 20:18:53 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The process nepomukservices eats a lot more memory than it should.

j@Brutus:~/$ uptime
 20:12:38 up  4:25,  1 user,  load average: 0.37, 0.48, 0.54

With this uptime, nepomukservices has gotten hold of about 1.1 GB of RAM and this number only keeps getting bigger. I know this because yesterday after I installed the RC of Kubuntu Lucid (the AMD64 variety) it ate almost 2 GB, which is half my total amount of RAM.

Obviously, reproduction should be easy - just let your computer sit idle for a while (or do something useful in the meantime - it doesn't really matter for this bug).

If there's anything else I can do, please let me know. In the mean time I'm turning the Nepomuk system off.

I noticed something interesting that might help: right now all of Nepomuk uses about 44M of memory, and it is just idly sitting there. This leads me to believe that the bug in question appears only when doing initial indexing (or at least when it has a lot of indexing to do). Hope this helps!

I can confirm that behaviour on my system.
Currently nepomuk consumes 900MiB while doing initial indexing.
