When I copy a large (video) file from my NAS to my laptop and the "file transfers & jobs" notification appear, I notice that my laptop is rapidly getting warmer. Using powertop I discovered the reason for the laptop getting warmer is almost 100% gpu usage. I don't think such a small animation should stress the gpu that much. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy a large file to your machine 2. The notification window should appear 3. Check gpu usage using powertop 4. Check again after the copying has finished Actual Results: Powertop reports "Powered On 96.5%" or a similar value during the copying process Expected Results: In my view, the copying of a file to the laptop shouldn't cause this much stress on the cpu kernel in use: 3.9.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 25 16:14:55 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux gpu (Intel HD3000): 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) Not sure if this is related, but I see the following entries in ~/.xsession-errors when I start a transfer: file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:52:13: QML Text: Binding loop detected for property "width" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:97:13: QML Item: Binding loop detected for property "height" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:97:13: QML Item: Binding loop detected for property "height" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:42:9: QML Grid: Cannot specify anchors for items inside Grid file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:166: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:125: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:108: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:88: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:78: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:72: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:60: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:54: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:37: TypeError: Result of expression 'jobsSource.data[modelData]' [undefined] is not an object. file:///usr/lib/kde4/imports/org/kde/plasma/extras/ScrollArea.qml:96: TypeError: Result of expression 'verticalScrollBar' [null] is not an object. file:///usr/lib/kde4/imports/org/kde/plasma/extras/ScrollArea.qml:96: TypeError: Result of expression 'verticalScrollBar' [null] is not an object. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:97:13: QML Item: Binding loop detected for property "width" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/Jobs.qml:101:19: QML JobDelegate: Binding loop detected for property "height" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/main.qml:139:9: QML Flickable: Possible anchor loop detected on fill. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/main.qml:139:9: QML Flickable: Possible anchor loop detected on fill. file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:97:13: QML Item: Binding loop detected for property "width" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/Jobs.qml:101:19: QML JobDelegate: Binding loop detected for property "height" file:///usr/share/apps/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.notifications/contents/ui/JobDelegate.qml:70:13: QML Text: Binding loop detected for property "width"
By the way, the intel driver version I use is: xf86-video-intel 2.21.8-1
