https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1233732 Bug ID: 1233732 Summary: plasmashell uses 100% cpu for wait pointer Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.6 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: jcarricksmith@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- I have a Clevo laptop with both nvidia and intel graphics. Output from inxi -G follows: Graphics: Device-1: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics] driver: i915 v: kernel Device-2: NVIDIA TU106BM [GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 550.127.05 Device-3: Chicony USB2.0 Camera driver: uvcvideo type: USB Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.11 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.1 driver: X: loaded: intel,nvidia unloaded: modesetting dri: iris gpu: i915,nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch resolution: 1920x1080~144Hz API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 550.127.05 renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/PCIe/SSE2 This bug is new in openSUSE 15.6. When using the nvidia graphics the "wait pointer" spins at such a rate that it is a blur and plasmashell consumes 100% CPU as reported by top. This does not happen with intel graphics active. This is not a problem normally but on certain networks Network Manager's "Checking further connectivity" can last 10 minutes or so, with the circulating indicator spinning madly around the taskbar icon for Network Manager. Another manifestation of the problem is visible after logging in and before the desktop is displayed the "cog" indicator is a blur or appears to run backwards and then disappears and there is no indication of system activity except via the HDD activity light.
