Created attachment 168604 [details] ~/.config/plasmashellrc SUMMARY I moved approx. 10000 files from one directory to another. The baloo file indexer was using a lot of cpu and memory resources, so I killed it manually. Since then the plasmashell process is leaking memory. Memory consumption grows about 1G per minute until the systems hangs eventually. Things I tried: - Restarting plasmashell - Reboot - Deleted the approx. 10000 files which started the problem - Update from 5.27.10 to 5.27.11 - balooctl disable - balooctl purge Plasmashell is still leaking memory after every single step. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move >10000 files 2. Observe plasmashell memory consumption OBSERVED RESULT Memory consumption of plasmashell grows about 1GB per minute EXPECTED RESULT Stable memory consumption SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Kernel Version: 6.6.26-1-MANJARO KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'll provide whatever information necessary. At the moment I don't know where to start.
I'm having this issue after update to Fedora 41 using X11. plasmashell, org_kde_powerdevil and kded6 consuming all the memory (32GB) within two days.
Thanks again for the bug report, and sorry we weren't able to look into this yet. A lot of things have changed since this was reported; can I ask you to see if the problem still happens at all in Plasma 6.3.5 or later? Or if you can, the Plasma 6.4 beta would be even better. If you can still reproduce it in either of those versions, can you comment on how you moved the files; from where to where, and from which source app to which destination app? (for these purposes, Plasma counts as an app too). Thanks a lot!
