Description happy 2012-03-21 01:58:21 UTC
Application: plasma-desktop (0.4)
KDE Platform Version: 4.8.00 (4.8.0
Qt Version: 4.7.4
Operating System: Linux 3.0.0-17-generic i686
Distribution: Ubuntu 11.10

-- Information about the crash:
- Unusual behavior I noticed:
Before the crash happens, window decorations start to be drawn weirdly (wrong background around widgets etc, highlighting funny); time to respond to window clicks increases.
Applications like VLC are no longer able to display video
Looks like some kind of resource allocation problem, although system ram and cpu usage appears to be fine (ie: if something is leaking, it's not those resources)
Did not happen before 4.8.0
Appears to happen after several hours (~6) of system uptime.
Sorry, could not find symbols for libQtScript.

The crash can be reproduced some of the time.

-- Backtrace:

One of your plasma widgets has a memory leak. Try to find out which by removing one of them.

fair enough... thanks for the quick reply.

I would add that my widget set didn't change from pre 4.8.0 either - pretty minimal:
- one folder view (desktop folder)
- one note
- three icons
- analogue clock
- system load viewer
- hardware temperature
- network activity
(all out of the standard set of widgets)

I've never done any work with desktop widgets.

What do you think of these assumptions:
(1) the icons and the note are probably not leaking.
(2) that any leak is because of some activity
(3) that the more activity, the more likely the leak (like the network or the temperature).

Is there some method or tool I can use to monitor the resource usage of an individual widget?
I'm happy to do trial-and-error but that could take a while.

cheers,

d

Comment 4 Krasnikov Nikolay 2012-03-26 18:21:37 UTC
Sorry, not used to the tracker yet.

Application: plasma-desktop
KDE Platform Version: 4.8.00
Operating System: 3.2.0-20-generic
Distribution: Kubuntu 12.04

I may have been affected with the same error. I was away from the laptop when it happened, though. It had crashed before with sympthoms similar to what happy described (wrong widget background).

The only widgets I have installed that were not on in Kubuntu 12.04 by default were System Monitor and Icon Tabs.
Comment 5 happy 2012-03-27 11:00:20 UTC
Haven't worked all the way through the set of applets running individually but can't reproduce it yet.
The System Load viewer (not yet tested) is looking likely - temperature and network activity don't appear to be the cause.

I upgraded my laptop to Fedora 17 Beta two weeks ago and have not had the problem since. Used to happen on a daily basis.

In my case, if I removed all the widgets and left an empty plasma desktop, it wouldn't crash.

Then I tried to add a standard panel back (with task manager, system tray, digital clock), it crashed after some time.

Now I'm testing with an empty panel only.
Comment 22 Franklin Weng 2012-07-09 02:04:47 UTC
Current status:

The plasmoid that caused plasma-desktop crashed seemed to be system tray on a panel.

I restarted a standard panel and removed system tray, it didn't crash so far.

If I started an empty panel and add system tray into it, no any other plasmoids, it would crash.

Later I'll try if I put the system tray on the desktop instead of panel.

But I wonder if anyone would have the same symptom as mine.
Comment 23 dilnix 2012-07-09 09:34:21 UTC
I found a source of problem...
It was knemo... i just removed it fully (yum remove knemo) and restarted system... now have no problem during 24 hours online =)
Comment 24 Christoph Feck 2012-07-09 11:21:05 UTC
Thanks for the investigation. Now it would be interesting to find out which widget or application in the system tray causes the issue. For example, try removing mixer applet or update notifiers, or whatever else is hidden there.

Here's a possible root cause:  the nepomuk indexing.

If the nepomuk file indexer was disabled, it wouldn't crash.  I've been testing it for at least two hours and am still testing it.

I also disabled printer applet, korganizer reminder and akonaditray, but nepomuk file indexer is the most possible root cause because it also explains why my desktop PC wouldn't crash like that in my laptop.

I've seen it happen with a bare panel (when I had just installed).
Has anyone come up with a fix?

Hello everyone

I found at least one possible way to reproduce this bug:
1. I use psi-im as messenger
2. On every new message, it flash icon in system tray
3. On KDE 4.9.3 it produce X11 memory leaks from plasma-desktop at rate around 50Kb/sec (I've measured from ksysguard)

So I've bisected at found that offending commit is:

    less Xlib code, force Qt to use X pixmap for QPixmap instead

I've reviewed that commit and have made a patch, that works for me:

Can someone else also review/confirm this?

I found the same problem with using latest Skype in Fedora 18 x64. Process X is slowly growing in memory usage (200 Mb and more) and makes memory leak during maximum 6 hours. When starting system without Skype - there no problem - uptime 32 hours, process X amounts 32-64 Mb memory.
Is anybody can fix this problem? Because Skype community is silent as dead...

Looks like another duplicate of the tray code leaking X pixmaps.
