I discovered yesterday, that you can provoke a major memory leak by putting a GIF wallpaper. Resault while running steam, brave, discord and all that. The brave browser started to lag. Steam was hanging. Discord was dead. It was so bad, I was sure it was my system. So I reinstalled my CachyOs. All was fine all day. Put back my wallpaper, and the issues was there again. plasma-shell ate all my 32gb of ram. I did record this and put it into the cachyos discord. Then others in the cachyos community also could reproduce the same issue. Then verified by the devs. I could take a standard wallpaper, again, and the system settle and did calm dawn to normal. Changed to the GIF wallpaper, and same problem over again. Computer Information: Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

Can you attach the GIF wallpaper that makes it happen for you?

Created attachment 172895 [details] attachment-2852559-0.html It might take some time before the memory ramps up. Some of the users spent 15 -20 min before it started. For me was around 3min, with a few programs up and running at the same time. I was using 2x 4k screens with that wallpaper fre. 23. aug. 2024, 23:37 skrev Vexy <trixxnet@gmail.com>: > > fre. 23. aug. 2024, 21:14 skrev Nate Graham <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org>: > >> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492097 >> >> Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> changed: >> >> What |Removed |Added >> >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Status|REPORTED |NEEDSINFO >> Summary|Major Memory leak |Major memory leak with >> GIF >> | |wallpaper >> Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO >> CC| |nate@kde.org, >> | |notmart@gmail.com, >> | |qydwhotmail@gmail.com >> Component|general |Image Wallpaper >> >> --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> --- >> Can you attach the GIF wallpaper that makes it happen for you? >> >> -- >> You are receiving this mail because: >> You reported the bug. > >
Thanks. on current git master, I'm unable to reproduce the issue after an hour with that wallpaper active. Let's call it fixed in Plasma 6.2, but if after upgrading to Plasma 6.2, you can still experience the issue, then feel free to re-open the bug report and we can investigate further. Perhaps it's an NVIDIA driver bug. I'm using an Intel HD630 iGPU, FWIW.

*** Bug 500680 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Got a new report in Bug 500680 from someone using Plasma 6.3.1; re-opening.
Created attachment 178846 [details] GIF that has this memory leak. (BUG 500680)
That file is actually a .mp4 movie, not a GIF. Can you attach the GIF file that causes this?

(https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=172894) It also has a memory leak. In 2-3 minutes, the system completely crashes. Perhaps this is a quirk of Nvidia?
Created attachment 178933 [details] attachment-2721165-0.html I was starting to wonder if it was related to the resize bug that was eating the memory. Not visited the issue since. Nor did i tinker with open and closed drivers at that time. Pretty much ran everything in stock ons. 26. feb. 2025, 22:16 skrev <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org>: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492097 > > --- Comment #10 from poryvay.vladik@gmail.com --- > (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) > > That file is actually a .mp4 movie, not a GIF.
