[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.1.1 leaking memory?
Just want to see if anyone else is experiencing this. I'm essentially having to reboot my machine every 12 hours as my memory is slow being exhausted. This wasn't happening before I upgraded to the latest 4.1.1 and doesn't seem to be related to anything I'm running (it happens overnight when the machine is idle). Thanks. -- Regards Scott Newton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I haven't experienced this yet. Which process is eating up memory? Are there messages from the OOM killer in dmesg or /var/log/messages?

I have experienced KDE4 too, to be a memory hog...especially
Konqueror. I see several kio_http processes running, even after
quitting Konqueror. Also, after quitting Konqueror, it remains in the
system memory.

I've fixed one reason for stray kio_http's getting lost already, and the initial bugreport about it(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414912) is now closed. can you really reproduce it with *current* packages? Especially, did you update the webkitpart ?

I haven't updated my system for a while now...is the update available
through the regular repos or through the BS?

Hm, what do you have? and what do you want? I guess Dirk thought you were using 4.1.1 like the topic of this thread would imply, if that's what you want use this repo. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

There are no messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages. I have 4Gb of memory in my machine and after logging on about 1.2Gb is used. This slowly increases up to about 3.95Gb and then sort of hovers around about that point. Swap doesn't get used. However, if I leave the machine for any period of time the screen goes blank (power saving kicks in) and then there is no way to get it back out of that situation (that I've found) other than to either reboot or restart kdm. The screensaver is not running if I do a process list on the console which continues to work fine. Restarting kdm freezes some of the memory but by no means all of it. If it goes into power saving mode before the memory is all consumed it comes out of it again just fine. X is not freezing as mail continues to be collected by the running kontact. Attached are screenshots of top immediately after booting and the next morning when X just gives me a blank screen. The first list is sorted by virtual memory size, the second by memory usage (RES). -- Regards Scott Newton

Just to add. In fact it does come out of power save mode. I get the cursor on the screen and I can move it. The rest of the screen remains a stubborn black though. -- Regards Scott Newton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Probably because your background color is black. Mine was white, but it is now blue :-) And, I have no idea where to start debugging. I just downloaded and installed latest nvidia Beta driver, so let we see is there any change. First, after start, desktop effects are dead. -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
I updated my system yesterday and found that the stray kio_http
problem has gone away.Although I did notice that a lot of kio_http
proceses are created while browsing through Konq. They go away after
4-5 seconds of quitting from Konq.
I do have a concern about memory usage on KDE 4.1.1. I'm running it on
a fairly modest set of specs, Thinkpad R61i- 1GB RAM, Intel Graphics
card...and running Kmail, Konqueror, 4 plasmoids, Skype on the
background. The memory usage through htop is 363M/1001M. Is that good?
I believe in KDE 3.5.x it showed memory usage a tad lower than this.

Hi you guys ! Say, could it not be that you suffer a bad 'swappinness' condition ? Try to reduce your 'swappiness' from 60 to 10 and see what happens. I collected information on this, at the time unknown subject to me, in Novell's cool tips. Try http://www.novel.com/coolsolutions/feature/18990.html If you can't fish it out any more, I can drop you a short version on how to rig this option. CU.

I'm afraid I'm seeing the same thing ;-( My box can run all day - solid as a rock. But if I leave it for a few hours, the monitor will go on standby after 10 minutes, when I return and activate the mouse, it'll come out of standby, but the desktop will be completely frozen - I can move the cursor around, but can't click anything and (kde) keyboard shortcuts don't work. I _can_ however get to the virtual consoles (ctrl+alt+Fx). If I run 'top' in the virtual consoles everything appears to be running normally including plasma and I can kill processes and everything. If I return to the graphical session (ctrl+alt+F7) from the consoles, there'll just be a white screen. Zapping X (ctrl+alt+backspace) also works, and will take me to kdm and the system will be ready to go back to work. I have seen this 3-4 times now. It doesn't happen every time my monitor goes to standby, but it seems to happen consistently if I leave it on standby for long enough (apparently >~2 hrs). There's no suspend here - just monitor going on standby. Unfortunately I didn't think much of it the first time it happened, so I can't really say when the issue started - but it was recently - I suspect either the 4.1.1 updates did it, or the updates with the cube in them. I don't think it's memory related - if it were a leak I'd expect swap to be also used, and the system wouldn't just keep on trucking after zapping X, the whole system would crash not just X and/or KDE. My system is 11.0 with 4.1.1/factory desktop, nvidia fx5500 (using the KMPs), desktop effects enabled including the cube. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
