I have this also, Leap 15.1, same plasma. My GPU ram is consumed but not released. Clicking on Dolphin (open Dolphin instances) in the task bar seems to cause easily noticeable steps in GPU memory consumption. Created attachment 127633 [details]
Terminal illustrating problem
This file shows GPU memory consumption.
In my taskbar I have 11 instances of Dolphin under one "tab".
At line 1263 I report memory use, move the mouse over the Dolphin "tab" (no click) and report memory use again.
Bump. I'd appreciate if this bug takes priority - it might be causing other accidental threads being created in relation to memory leaks and mistaking side effects in other places (such as I did with plasma widgets). It makes it impossible to keep a desktop linux distro running KDE for several days and it's making the desktop environment give a really poor impression and experience. Plasma 5.x is no longer getting fixes, please file a new bug if this bug persists in Plasma 6.4 on newer. |
Created attachment 123918 [details] xrestop SUMMARY Plasmashell is causing gradual memory consumption by /usr/bin/X process. In two days of Plasma session runtime it takes more than 1.2Gb of RSS by X process. As you can see in the attachment for xrestop, this is caused by gradually growing pixmap memory. The memory consumption is growing over days until full available memory is accupied, then X system crashes, because of earlyoom kills this process.

Run X11 KDE5 session for days without logout 2. Usual use of KDE session with small and amount of apps opened 3. Memory consumption will grow gradually over days. OBSERVED RESULT Constantly growing memory consumption. EXPECTED RESULT Fixed pixmap memory consumption by plasmashell.
