[opensuse-kde] Memory leak in kde4d
I am using openSUSE 12.3 with KDE 4.10.2 release 1. The last days I have to log in and out regularly, a few times per day, to keep memory usage within limits, otherwise I see starting the use of swap space. Normally I don't have any use of swap space and I do nothing out of the ordinary. I do see increase the memory used by a process with the name kde4d in the window System Activity that pops up by clicking on the icon in the system tray that shows CPU and memory use. It start with about 100 MiB but currently it is 294 MiB and still increasing. Anyone else seeing the same behavior? How can I file a bug report with the necessary details and where, openSUSE or upstream? -- fr.gr.

strangely I don't have this process so not leaking here :-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

but kded4 is there :-) ~39MB For debugging a gdb attach <pid of kded4> or valgrind. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Indeed it is kded4. However after gdb attach <pid of kded4> I get a lot of messages with zypper install -C ... I installed a lot already, but I still get these messages. After that I get a prompt (gdb), but I don't know how to proceed. I just managed to give quit and y. After that the process continues and is now 625 MiB. -- fr.gr.

I found the bug report in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934 and used valgrind. It is a very strange bug, which seems to be related to some/any cronjob for the logged in user, which appears to have no relation to the desktop. The workaround is to rename /usr/share/kde4/services/kded/powerdevil.desktop to a name without .desktop at the end and log in again. -- fr.gr.
