Description Damjan Georgievski 2009-12-18 01:17:37 UTC

Version:           4.3.4 (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.x 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

Knode 4.3.4 causes 20 wakeups from idle per second acording to powertop. This makes it the worst applicaiton bar Firefox.

There are reports on this bug from the 3.x time, suposedly resolved, but it seems it's back

Hello,

My knode does not cause frequent wakeup.
So, please, could you provide more information to set up knode so that it behaves badly in this area ?

Comment 2 Damjan Georgievski 2009-12-19 19:06:30 UTC

This is KNode from ArchLinux package.. ArchLinux ussually doesn't patch programs, so it should be pretty much vanilla.

I don't know what more information would you need? 
Maybe my config files (~/.kde4/share/apps/knode/)?

Comment 3 Olivier Trichet 2009-12-25 17:23:54 UTC

I would need a way to reproduce this.

At least,
 - do you see those wakeups when the knode's window is completly hidden?
 - do you have automatic checking enable for your account?
 - a textual copy of the powertop screen.


Trying to login with a new user and see if you can still see those wakeups with the default configuration of knode would be better.
If it don't, then, step by step, modify the configuration to have the same config as the one of your current login account. This would help us to find what cause the wakeup inside KNode.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
