Plasmashell High CPU Load Fix - Plasma 5.9x KDE
Running TOP shows that plasmashell was just eating CPU. The culprit, it seems, is a long-standing KDE bug that apparently rears its ugly head every now and then.
Temporary fix: run: Code:
killall plasmashell; kstart plasmashell --shut-up; exit Editing the /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.notifications/contents/ui/NotificationIcon.qml file *seems* to do the trick (your mileage may vary). Look for this section: Code:
PlasmaComponents.BusyIndicator { Code:
PlasmaComponents.BusyIndicator { |
Hi,
I fixed it by killing randomly one of plasmashell threads within the process. I didn't killed plasma itself, desktop works, but cpu got down and all remaining high cpu threads were killed at the same time as well (there were about 10-15 in htop visible). Could you refer the bug related to this issue if it is in progress? Anyway thanks for your guideline, which I will try to test next time as now my random thread kill worked fine :-) |

I went one step farther and changed visible: jobs ? jobs.count > 0 : false to visible: jobs ? jobs.count > 0 : trueand I locked the widgets in the panel Now in Htop lines /usr/bin/plasmashell --shut-up are appearing still but are showing 0% CPU and low memory usage. Now I can use this computer again. |

Linux Mint 18.3 Plasma 5.18.0 bug, fix worked!
killall plasmashell; kstart plasmashell --shut-up; exit
did not stop one of the CPU cores from running at 80%, but PlasmaComponents.BusyIndicator { anchors.fill: parent visible: jobs ? jobs.count > 0 : false running: false //was "visible" } did! Thanks |
