Hi all,

After following a couple of bugs being closed as a duplicate of this one, I would like to ask : my issue is that when I have no Internet connexion, the telepathy panel icon keeps spinning, getting one full core busy, and thus sucking on battery...

Can I do anything to help on this ? Thansk :)

Comment 2 Guillaume DE BURE 2015-11-10 21:44:19 UTC

Forgot to mention:
* Telephathy 15.08.2
* KDE Frameworks 5.15.0
* Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.0)

The evil thing is, that it is not possible to tell the client to go offline. The command (via context menu) is simply ignored.
Without knowing which process to kill, the life time of my batter goes downs from ~4 hours to ~30 minutes, because plasmashell is eating away on at least two cores. (Yes, there where two processes named "plasmashell" listed in htop on top, one with ~100% CPU and the other with about ~90% CPU usage)

My System:
* Gentoo Linux
* Plasma 5.5.4
* KDE Framework 5.18.0
* KDE Apps 15.12.1
* QT 5.5.1

Comment 4 Guillaume DE BURE 2016-04-19 04:53:04 UTC

Just a gentle "up" :)
Still present in :
* Archlinux
* KDE Apps 16.03.90
* Frameworks 5.21.0
* Qt 5.6.0

Does this still happen without the kded module loaded?

Run this command in a terminal to unload the module:
qdbus org.kde.kded5 /kded org.kde.kded5.unloadModule ktp_integration_module

This should be fixed as of commit: https://commits.kde.org/ktp-kded-module/20f845ce0c2e828700a79efd455f9700deafb1d7 . Reopen this bug if the issue persists.
