Version: 4.3.0 (using KDE 4.3.0) Compiler: gcc 4.3 OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs I have desktop effects turned on. When I start a 2nd X-session from KDE, the 1st core of my dual-core CPU is on 100%. Solution: go back to 1st session by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 - after changing back, CPU load is back to 0% (but this is annoying) OpenSuSE Linux 11.1 KDE 4.3 (from download.opensuse.org) This also happened on previous KDE4 versions.
- Does this also happen if desktop effects are disabled ? Thanks
(In reply to comment #1) > - Does this also happen if desktop effects are disabled ? > Thanks No - and when I activate effects later again in the same session, the problem doesn't appear as well.
- What is your graphics card / drivers ? Adding KWin people to CC Thanks
I have a NVidia GeForce NX8600GT (256 MB), using the G02-driver package (version 185.18.14 - "rpm -qa | grep nvidia" says: nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-pae-185.18.14_2.6.27.23_0.1-2.2)
I know that problem - have it all the time :-( Actually I doubt it is a kwin problem, but I think it's a bug in the nvidia driver. I experience it most often when coming from suspend.
Yeah, I always suspend my system and have the problem. I hope this can be fixed soon.
How do you start the second X? "X :1 & sleep 4; xterm -display :1" creates high cpu load on :0 here as well, but "X :1 & sleep 4; xterm -display :1 & exit" does not... (i noticed that konsole infinitly created newlines until i returned to :0, so i simply exited that bash)
(In reply to comment #7) > How do you start the second X? I use the normal "new session"/"Benutzer wechseln" from inside KRunner
I always used the KMenu for the 2nd X (KMenu -> Leave -> Switch User).
ok, krunner also locks the screen - no problem by my default (blank screen) but selecting a screensaver (flurry...) causes full cpu load in the screensaver - until i switch to :0 or VT1
in my situation neither a screensaver is used nor a locked screen. KRunner locks the screen but later on I switch by ctral+alt+fx, so the screen isn't locked any more (yeah I know I have to be careful whenever I leave my computer, as there is the second unlocked X on tty9 ;-)
I don't suppose you're still able to reproduce this in a recent version of Plasma 5, like 5.19 or later?
