Hi! Ever since the first KDE 4 version for Debian, and the KDE versions from qt- kde.debian.net, I have had problems with strange unknown processes that starts now and then, usually daily, and use about 50 to 60 percent of my two processors power and make them run hot. I got a hardware monitor applet telling so I clearly see it every time it starts.
You can see a screenshot of Ksysguard here http://www.gotlandsbilden.se/bild/Unknown_processes.png (the language is Swedish). On the screenshot you see 3 processes that has the user name "root, -1". The use of processor power is showed "unknown" for two of them. For the other there seems noting. I have seen up to seven of this unknown processes. They start and die and change pid number very fast. Yesterday I was able to kill them then I run Ksysguard as root. But usually I could not kill them even if I run Ksysguard as root. Then I got a error message that tell that I couldn’t kill the process as root. Then I use "top", "ps" or "ps auxf" to see the system processes I can't see them at all. Isn't that strange? The unknown processes belongs to KDE. I have had clean installs of Gnome, XFCE 4 and KDE on different partitions and the unknown processes only appear in the KDE system. OK they can be connected to some other application but then they only appear with KDE. Now I installed a brand new Debian Sid and immediately upgraded KDE to the KDE 4.5.3 from qt-kde.debian.net. And the processes is there. Right now I realized for the first time that the same problem appear even with my portable computer. And I couldn't kill them running Ksysguard as root... It's very annoying having to restart the computers now and them because of this. And it doesn't feel safe to run stange processes. Any clues?
