Yesterday I installed Kubuntu 13.04 and got the same problems as other users in this thread. First I thought it was caused by the relatively new Kubuntu version so I switched back to 12.04 LTS. This did not help, I got the same problem: CPU at 100% in 1-2 minutes 4GB ram filled up, after which swap memory (also 4G) was filled entirely.
I then (using a laptop) found a way to not start akonadi and now my system is back to normal. It is strange since I did use 12.04 before and then this did not happen. Maybe since the latest KDE updates this was introduced. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909022 Title: Various akonadi processes use 100% CPU and 200% RAM at every KDE session startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/akonadi/+bug/909022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
