Version: (using KDE 4.2.4) Compiler: gcc x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.3 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled From Sources The twitter plasmoid (kdetwitter) leaks pixmaps and doesn't release the resources back to the system, resulting in ballooning memory usage by X. This behavior can be seen by running 'plasmoidviewer twitter' and watching the number of pixmaps, and the pixmap memory used by this process in xrestop. My standard settings are 5 tweets displayed, 2min refresh, show friends. On my system, this results in X eating about 1.2GB/hour of ram. System Details: Gentoo ~amd64, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu USE flags for kde-base/plasma-workspace-4.2.4: -debug -google-gadgets +handbook -kdeprefix +python -rss +composite +xinerama
Both bug 182900 / bug 201736 mentions leaks that were fixed on KDE4.3 code. Thanks
yes, these should be addressed in 4.3.
Awesome - thanks for the quick response, and glad it's been fixed already :-).
Now running KDE-4.3.0 release, compiled from source - the microblogging widget still exhibits the same behavior and has not been fixed.
how many people are you following on twitter, exactly?
Not many - I have around 10 following, and follow twice that.
Can confirm this here on 4.3.0 release, Gentoo ~amd64 & ~x86. I am currently following eight people.
can confirm this on debian sid plasma-desktop used 130 MiB pixmaps (according to xrestop), after removing the twitter widget, plasma-desktop is down to 26 MB 130 MiB seems to be the cap for me, didn't see any higher value yet
Count me in on 4.3 final @ Fedora...
Still happens on 4.3.1.
SVN commit 1070409 by mart: never keep more than 30 avatars in user_map hope it's enough to stop the X pixmap skyrocketing, not so sure BUG:201915 M +7 -0 microblog.cpp M +1 -0 microblog.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1070409
Still happens with KDE 4.4.0 (Gentoo ~amd64). X Memory usage goes up endlessly. This should be re-opened.
@Daniel: can you confirm that memory usage doesn't happen if you don't use the Microblogging widget at all ? Regards
@Dario Andres: When I remove the Microblogging Plasmoid, memory usage drops immediately to a healthy value.
*bump* re-open?
I'm also running Gentoo ~amd64 with KDE-4.4.0, and I can't say I'm seeing this bug any more - memory usage by the microblogging plasmoid is just fine. Could this perhaps be an entirely different bug with the same symptom?
