The crash seems to be in KF5: [ 166.432091] akonadi_ews_res[3018]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f4f39a9489b sp 00007fff069ee290 error 4 in libKF5ConfigCore.so.5.42.0[7f4f39a51000+61000] $ equery b /usr/lib64/libKF5ConfigCore.so.5 * Searching for /usr/lib64/libKF5ConfigCore.so.5 ... kde-frameworks/kconfig-5.42.0 (/usr/lib64/libKF5ConfigCore.so.5.42.0) kde-frameworks/kconfig-5.42.0 (/usr/lib64/libKF5ConfigCore.so.5 -> libKF5ConfigCore.so.5.42.0) Hi Kai. Sorry that you did not receive a reply to this bug so far. Does the crash still happen with KDEPIM/Akonadi 18.12 and recent KDE Frameworks? I removed Akonadi completely because it started to accumulate gigabytes of RAM over time since one of the last updates (the processes growing to 9 GB of RAM usage). And there's even not a sane mail client to actually use Akonadi's potential. KMail is still very unstable, slow, and buggy. So I moved away and I am currently using Mailspring instead. I may try the KDE PIM suite some day in the future again because I'm missing the calendar feature. The next thing to go away is probably baloo because it got slow. Its processes tend to grow to 3-4 GB of RAM usage and eat a lot of IO performance during that process, the system feels very laggy until I kill the processes. Also, it started to re-index all my files on every reboot. In both cases I tried recreating the databases (Akonadi and Baloo) from scratch but it didn't solve the problem. I'm feeling a bit sad about this because usually I enjoyed the good integration of the KDE components into the complete desktop. But if it makes a quite potent system to vastly slow down for extended periods of time, I have no other choice. I needed to remove all PIM components completely to get back a snappy and stable KDE desktop. :-( I wonder why this hit me lately: I've run with both Baloo and Akonadi for years and never experienced the problems one could read about in hundreds of forums, namely that those services slow done people's systems. Now it happened to me, too, and the impact is really very big. Baloo and Akonadi really need some love, and I wish I could be part of this by contributing help with identifying and fixing bugs. But the negative impacts it had on my productivity were just too big. I'm sorry. Hello Kai. Thank you for the information. I am closing this bug cause as you do not use KDEPIM/Akonadi anymore, you would not provide any further information – for example whether this segfault still exists. If anyone finds this segfault again, please open a new bug. Thank you. As for Baloo: That is a different topic, but this bug tracker is not the place to discuss it. However, in case you can confirm [frameworks-baloo] [Bug 404057] New: Uses an insane amount of memory (RSS/PSS) and writes a *ton* of data while indexing please comment there, so I can set it to CONFIRMED. |
