Bug ID: 486175
Summary: Slideshow wallpaper leak memory
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.4
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Image Wallpaper
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bizy...@zoho.com
CC: notm...@gmail.com, qydwhotm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If you configure your desktop to use a slideshow wallpaper with a large image
folder as its source, plasmashell will continue growing to gigabytes of RAM.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click the desktop > Desktop and wallpaper.
2. Set the wallpaper type to Slideshow, add a single large image directory as
source.
3. Set the change interval to something low, like 1-2 seconds, to speed things
up. It's not a requirement, though: with a longer update interval, it will
still happen, just later.
OBSERVED RESULT
plasmashell's memory usage will quickly grow to gigabytes. Change the wallpaper
type to just Image to stop it, before it's too late!
EXPECTED RESULT
plasmashell's memory usage stays around the same level over time.
