    Kubuntu 15.04 Beta 2 unusable after a short period of time

    Hello! After yesterday's update (apparmor, etc), my beloved Kubuntu 15.04 Beta 2 install has become unusable! It hangs after a short period of time. Mouse pointer slowly moves, then hangs, then slowly moves. It's like something really intensive was going on with the cpu. Any help, ideas? Are any of you experience similar issues?

      No issues here.

      Process list (Ctrl+Esc) or running top in konsole show anything interesting?

          The main processes showed by running top are kworker/u8:5, dbus-daemon, mysqld, konsole and systemd. I don't know if this is relevant or not...

          Edit: CPU usage was low, nothing seemed to be overloading it.

            Before yesterdays update I would get a slow mouse cursor occasionally but it would seem to come right. I did look at process's anddid not see anything that would be causing it, CPU usage was low etc. I installed the update same at the OP last night but have not used it since. I hope its not broken.

              Were you able to catch it during one of the slowdowns?

                Seems to be the problem. Looks like a recursive call in the kubuntu-notification-helper package.

                For me, the desktop would run fine for a few minutes, and I could watch the kded5 process slowly eating all my ram (1.5GB... 2.0GB... 3.0GB... etc.) until my system was unusable.

                I have temporarily removed the kubuntu-notification-helper package and it seems to have solved the issue.

                Hope that helps,

                Cheers!

                  I don't know what you mean. I've just logged in, launched konsole, and run top. Then I was watching top to see if anything could be related and then it happened again....

                      Interesting. Still haven't seen this, and no updates available.

                      Package: kubuntu-notification-helper
                      State: installed
                      Automatically installed: no
                      Version: 15.04ubuntu3

                      Do others here have different versions?

                        running off the updates now (that includes the kubuntu-notification-helper) will see what I see.

                          Same version here: 15.04ubuntu3

                          I didn't start having a problem until I rebooted my computer sometime after the update. Have you restarted (or logged-out and back in I guess would have the same effect) since kubuntu-notification-helper was installed?

                          If so, then I guess the next question is why some have the problem and others do not.
