Description José Pekkarinen 2018-11-15 07:00:40 UTC

SUMMARY

Morning, running akonadi server on my gentoo laptop, stable versions
I observe that starting plasma, in a few hours the memory consumption
gets full and laptop start paging. Top shows the akonadiserver is the
guilty on eating all the memory followed by chromium that consumes some
little percent but having a bunch of threads.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start plasma.
2. Work for ~3-4h.

OBSERVED RESULT

Top shows akonadiserver process takes a lot of memory.

EXPECTED RESULT

That akonadi takes memory that needs but doesn't grow
continuously over time.

Comment 2 José Pekkarinen 2018-11-22 07:04:06 UTC

I recently migrated my kabylake laptop to a ryzen one and still the
behaviour is reproducible, which reduces the chances to be platform
dependant. only way to reliably work is to forcefully stop akonadiserver
through akonadictl stop.

There is a new set of ebuilds for plasma 18.08, and this is still valid:
