Bug#879901: kded5 mem ballooning consumes over 6520.81MB of RAM!



Control: severity -1 important

kded acts as a proxy to the background kde services, most likely the leak is in one of them, not in kded per se. I'm degrading the severity as I can't reproduce it.

¡Hola Nicholas!

Please let me know what I can do to help debug this further, because I'd like to help solve this asap.

It would be helpful to know which threads kded is executing, in order to do that please run the following command: pstree -tp | less, and look for the kded processes.

Also it would be interesting to know which services are being managed by kded, to find that out you can use the system settings' "Startup and Shutdown" "Background services", you can see which services are currently running in you session, you can attach your ~/.config/kded5rc that stores this information.

A known culprit on wasting resources is the baloo file indexer (which should be disabled by default), I don't remember seeing a leak in kded related to baloo, but I haven't paid much attention to it since we disabled it. You can check if your file indexer is disabled in: "System Settings" "Search" "File Search" "Enable File Search"

Happy hacking,
