--- Comment #117 from Ovidiu Chi <metalkt...@gmail.com> --- > I am running a slideshow of 2560x1600 images every 2 seconds with > QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic @Matt, You'd have to start the slideshow then, after a little while(a few seconds), change the duration (e.g. from 3s to 2s). I did some more tests. I set `export QSG_RENDER_LOOP=threaded` in `~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/env.sh` and logged back in. I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. The memory either doesn't increase or rises very little and gets freed afterwards. Everything looks stable. I then set `export QSG_RENDER_LOOP=basic` in the same file and I could reproduce again. So it seems Kubuntu 18.04 is set to `basic` by default. I entered `QSG_INFO=1 plasmashell` in the terminal to find out the value, but nothing is displayed. I don't know if the behavior is the same on all graphic cards. If someone is able to test this out, great, otherwise it will be another tweak I need to write down. System details: CPU: Intel i7-6700HQ (8) @ 3.500GHz GPU: Intel HD Graphics 530 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (Skylake GT2) I have not installed the Nvidia drivers. I've set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.modeset=0" in `/etc/default/grub` so I can log in, shut down and suspend the laptop properly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
