Bug ID: 439938
Summary: System Monitor causes the system to overload and
freeze
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.22.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: geisse...@gmail.com
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Summary
I started the System Monitor from the command line as background task and then
quit konsole as I saw how much output system monitor made.
I had the program running for about 5-15 minutes. Suddenly the system got
slower and slower, and then froze completely. I had to terminate the computer
hard by turning power off. The only other window open was a web browser with 2
tabs.
Steps to reproduce
1) open konsole
2) plasma-systemmonitor &
3) quit konsole after a minute or so
4) wait 5-15 minutes
Observed Result
The system has frozen (memory or cpu overload)
EXPECTED RESULT
System Monitor should not cause the system to freeze.
Frankly, I doubt whether it is a good idea to ship software with such risky
bugs to end users. A task manager should be fast and reliable. The System
Monitor is quite the contrary. (I uninstalled it now.)
