--- Comment #3 from Giuseppe Margarita <giuseppemargar...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Quantum Five from comment #2) > Unfortunately I can confirm that KUbuntu is also affected ... > > I am running KUbuntu 15.10 with all available patched applied from > ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports. My plasmashell version is 5.5.3 and I am using > System Load widget. Interestingly is that after several hours the widget > becomes completely unresponsive (but I can launch the program it via K menu). > > I use my system for day to day work and I can confirm that after 8 hours the > CPU usage is rather high (~30%) when no other programs are running (and you > can feel that your computer has become sluggish). Killing and restarting > plasmashell always cures it (I can provide a screen shot of "before" and > "after"). It's VERY obvious. > > Last Friday I left the computer running over the weekend (my session running > and locked with no screen saver, no programs running), and when I logged > back in on Monday, the CPU usage was so high, couldn't do anything but > restart it. > > My desktop has a 8 x Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.4 GHz CPU and 16G of RAM.

Open NotificationIcon.qml file with root permission in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.notifications/contents/ui Search for line "running: visible" in "PlasmaComponents.BusyIndicator" section and change it in "running: false" After that, plasmashell should use only 4-5% of CPU load. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
