Top shows it running in the 50%-60% range. It's sending my CPU temp up high enough to bump the BIOS overheat warning frequently.
is this a new issue (after installing an online update for example) or did you have it for a longer time?
This has only happened twice that I can recall, both in past couple of days. Last update was a short, hand-picked amount of apps, hoping to avoid breaking the stability I've enjoyed for months. Tail of /var/log/YaST2/y2logRPM: http://fm.no-ip.com/tmp/SUSE/logs/YaST/y2logRPM-A865,txt
How do I figure out what is making KDED use so much CPU, and stop it without having to log out?
please post the output of "dcop kded kded loadedModules"
Right now that produces: mediamanager remotedirnotify dnssdwatcher konqy_preloader kinetd medianotifier systemdirnotify homedirnotify networkstatus favicons kwrited khotkeys But, I presume you mean when I can reproduce. ;-) I shut down the machine to check BIOS temps, fans and clean again, and it hasn't yet happened again. I have a hunch that it's related to DVD insertion/knotify. The first instance happened only after the problem reported in http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-linux&m=122875116924368&w=2 after which I remember Konq complaining on automatic opening on blank DVD insertion (at the request of K3B). Over the next several days I should be performing similar non-routine activity again.
you can try to figure out which module causes the issue by calling
"dcop kded kded unloadModule <foo>",where foo is one of the strings that you get from the loadedModules above. by unloading one after the other, and comparing in top(1), you should be really easy able to figure out which module causes it.
when you know, we can figure out more.
