Version: 1.12.4 (using 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 0", openSUSE 11.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop Hello, I am installing/configuring/setting up a desktop with openSUSE 11.2 / KDE 4.3.5 The computer has: CPU Information Processor (CPU): Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz Speed: 2,800.00 MHz Cores: 2 Temperature: 65 °C Memory Information Total memory (RAM): 2.9 GiB Free memory: 2.2 GiB (+ 429.8 MiB Caches) Free swap: 2.0 GiB OS Information OS: Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop i686 Current user: frans@MD8800-openSUSE-11-2 System: openSUSE 11.2 (i586) KDE: 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 0" Display Info Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce 6700 XL Driver: Unknown but it is NVIDIA driver Normally the total CPU consumption is at the 2-5% level. I have noticed since I am configuring Kontact/Kmail that sometimes the CPU consumption becomes and stays very high. If I look with Top it shows that Xorg and plasma-desktop uses respectively 49-53% and 41-43% of the CPU, without a high activity as far as I know. Sometimes if I logout as user or definitely if I shutdown and restarts the Desktop the CPU consumption returns to and stays at the normal 2-5% level with the same applications running (Firefox, Kontact/Kmail and Konsole) Is there a way to find out what is going on, what causes this high load Regards, Frans PS I do not know whether the high CPU consumption is caused by Kontact/KMail or that it just something new after kernel update to Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop i686
Hello, I have found out how to reproduce the high CPU consumptions by the 2 processes. It works as following: 1 I am reading in Kontact/kmail my mail messages in full screen window. After reading the mail I click closebutton (top right) By accident I click close again and that closes (unwanted) Kontact/Kmail 2 So I restart Kontact in the same desktop and that results in the 2 high CPU consumption processes. Only shutting down the system and start it again or the combined Restart version correct the high CPU consumption situation for the 2 mentioned processes. Hopefully this helps. Regards, Frans
I observe the same high CPU usage by plasma-desktop and xorg with the KDE4.6 release. Generally usage is low after booting, and becomes intolerably high (totaling near 100% of total CPU) after a while, often associated with leaving machine for a few/10 minutes and coming back to it.
I can confirm that. A KDE 4.x KMail ist consuming VERY much CPU resources mostly all the time. I'm using OpenSUSE 11.3 and 11.4. Sometimes it's not possible to work with it. How can I provide relevant informations about that for you?
