Bug ID: 496654
Summary: Memory Leak? System monitor reports memory used, but
not the process(es) at fault.
Classification: Applications
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: xenothestra...@yahoo.com
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Unclear. I noticed this issue after the following:
1. Accidentally opening a 70gb PDF using KWrite (it was a .txt file for some
reason). I had to kill the program with system monitor.
2. running multiple virtual machines under KVM/QEMU
OBSERVED RESULT
Over 10GB of system memory is being used.... but System Monitor has no idea
what it is, and neither do I
EXPECTED RESULT
Memory is not in use when programs are closed and/or System Monitor sees what
program(s) are using up all the memory.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: KDE neon 6.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM

I'm honestly just kind of baffled and I've had this issue multiple times
recently and had to reboot to fix it.
I'm not sure what the cause could be because I (barely) remember doing various
different tasks. It could be KWrite, that is a common denominator but wouldn't
make much sense.....
