Version: (using KDE 4.1.96) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs OpenSUSE 11.1 with KDE4.2 RC1 GXF: Ati Mobility Radeon 9700 64MB Driver: vesa (Ati driver doesnt work) No 3D or GL is working. After a clean boot Plamsa uses ~10MB Without using the computer the memory usage is increasing over time. After 24hours Plasma use 130MB After 5days Plasma uses 920MB of 1,2MB RAM Computer become very slow because of lack of memory. Reboot is needed. Widget(Plasmaoids) used: - Desktop folder - Analog Black clock - Simple calculator - Calender - CPU usage and CPU temperature
I can confirm this, Kubuntu Intrepid, KDE 4.2 from backports. Ati on fglrx, composition is off. User loged 24/7, computer used 8h/day. Memory usage: uptime 8:08 - 278 MB uptime 23:59 - 767 MB - somewhere near this time it starts to leak to swap uptime 1 day, 2:51 - 778 MB Plasmoids: Folder view Panel Screen lock HW notifier Digital and analog clock Comic Thrashcan Task manager Kicker Pager Show desktop Systray
It's propably a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183191
I'm pretty sure this is *not* a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183191 - the memory still leaks when the digital clock is removed, just more slowly. It looks like the less widgets there are, the slower the leak, with some widgets possibly aggravating the problem more than others. This is on Fedora 10 with only the task manager, system tray, and application launcher widgets left running at this point. I originally went into more detail at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=495468.
"won't go chasin' waterfalls.." sing it with me: "vague reports with no way to reproduce aren't closable ..." that said, we nailed a number of slow leaks, e.g. on each started job.
