Bug ID: 295310
Summary: sysutils/plasma6-ksystemstats memory leak
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: kde at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: maxnix.bsd at gmail.com
Assignee: kde at FreeBSD.org
Flags: maintainer-feedback?(kde at FreeBSD.org)
Overview:
sysutils/plasma6-ksystemstats memory usage continuously grows since it is
started (apparently without limit; even 1.5GiB of ram in my experience).
Steps to Reproduce:
Just start sysutils/plasma6-plasma-systemmonitor or add a monitoring widget to
the desktop or to a panel, ksystemstats will be automatically started.
Actual Results:
It starts with about 45MiB of resident memory usage, then slowly grows. This
behavior is independent by the number of wigets used; even if all the widgets
are removed (and with systemmonitor not in use) memory usage grows.
Expected Results:
Memory usage should settle instead of growing continuously.
Additional Information:
I tried creating a VM with the same FreeBSD and Plasma version to test in a
clean environment, and the leak happens as well.
For comparison, on KDE neon with the same Plasma, KDE Frameworks and Qt version
the problem is not present.
As a workaround I actually pkill it every two hours, so it restarts and doesn't
grow memory usage too much.
