Description Yves Glodt 2009-01-14 14:38:14 UTC 
Version:           0.60.82 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In the current rc1 of KDE4.2, kopete causes 100 wakeups/second (as reported by powertop):

55.1% (102.4)            kopete : schedule_timeout (process_timeout)
Comment 1 Yves Glodt 2009-01-14 20:40:14 UTC 
Looks like the wakeups are caused by the libmsn-based wlm plugin.

In the provided rc1-packages of my kubuntu intrepid this lib is apparently not compatible with rc1-version of kopete, and thus kopete has no msn support.

It also does not cause any wakeups...
Comment 2 Yves Glodt 2009-01-28 18:35:15 UTC 
4.2.0 packages of kubuntu intrepid also do not show the wakeups, even though msn is online.
Comment 3 Maxim Grechkin 2009-02-23 21:19:25 UTC 
On gentoo kopete from 4.2.0 without msn:
  13.6% (102.6)            kopete : schedule_hrtimeout_range (hrtimer_wakeup)
So the problem is still there.
Comment 4 Christian Schubert 2009-08-04 13:28:53 UTC 
also seeing this in 4.2.4

anything one can do to track this down? WORKSFORME is a pretty poor solution :-/
Comment 5 Christian Schubert 2009-08-20 18:29:19 UTC 
not an issue anymore for me in 4.3
Comment 6 Igor Poboiko 2010-07-06 00:21:31 UTC 
I can confirm it with KDE SC 4.4.90: 
(104,4)            kopete : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup) 
I don't use msn plugin.
Comment 7 Igor Poboiko 2010-07-06 00:26:21 UTC 
As for me, the problem seem to be in GoogleTalk account. After disabling it, kopete causes near to 4 wakeups:
  (  4,0)            kopete : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)
The problem is not in jabber protocol/account, because I have other (non-GTalk) jabber acount enabled, and there is no problems with wakeups.
Comment 8 Christos Lazaridis 2011-03-08 17:20:23 UTC 
I can also confirm Igor's message. 

I get 104 kopete wakeups without MSN. Disabling my GTalk account drops them to 2.8. What's more interesting is that if I reopen GTalk (just the account, not kopete) the wakeups do not climb back to 100. I tried this several times with the same result.

WORKSFORME is not exactly a solution as quite a few people have noticed this...
