--- Comment #2 from Optional <hsr.desk...@gmail.com> --- Hey, thanks for your reply. All I know is that my operating system is lagging very often. It hangs every 10 seconds for 3-4 seconds which is annoying. And whenever there is a lag, the digital clock's second counter stops, laptop's fan revs to high speed, there is network disconnection and I often don't see what I type. All of this restores to normal after the lag subsides but this, as I said, happens very often on a regular basis. I tried to narrow down the issue with cpustat, fnotifystat, forkstat and health-check tools and found plasmashell as the offender, as also evident from poll lines. Plasmashell is very busy and spinning on zero timeout. Regrading what you asked, I closed plasma with the said command and restarted it by inputting just plasmashell and then ran your command. If I understand correctly your perf command is to collect stats when the issue reproduces but I cannot reproduce the issue by myself, it happens by itself. And a new problem appeared after running your command. A pop-up with title kdeconnectd stating following error: "Unable to save bookmarks in /home/sanguine/.local/share/user-places.xbel. Reported error was: Existing file /home/sanguine/.local/share/user-places.xbel is not writable. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive." Following this error I'm unable to open Dolphin file browser and hence unable to attach perf.data file -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
