[opensuse] KDE 4.3.3: Plasma at 80%-99% CPU and 81% Mem

OK, after my first post a few days ago on crashing plasma and krunner (still unsolved) I now have an additional problem regarding Plasma: it uses up all CPU and memory after some time. More specific it is now at 98% CPU and 1,6 Gig and 81% memory (Virt.). I sure regret upgrading this time...

In a konsole, did you try to kquitapp plasma-desktop then move the plasma* files in ~/.kde4/share/config/ and restart plasma-desktop afterwards? If that works, you can move your old plasma* files back and remove the plasmoids in them one by one to find the one that is causing it.

I did that before I left the office yesterday, and at least at the beginning the Desktop is more reactive and the system tray looks fairly ok (with lots of stuff missing). However when I came in this morning top showed again 98% CPU and 48% Memory... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use 11.2 with the STABLE repos and do not see anything like that. If you did not add any plasmoids but just use the default desktop there must be something else to it. Maybe somebody else who uses the 43 repo can comment. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, I guess I'll sit it out until 11.2 is available and will do a proper upgrade... Thanks for the suggestions. Kostas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can also try removing applets from the default set, eg clock, pager, taskbar, kickoff until you get an empty panel and desktop - it could be one of those. Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
