Kubuntu 15.04 Beta 2 unusable after a short period of time

[ronw]

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.

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

Hope that helps,

Cheers!

Works for me, thanks !

I can confirm that removing kubuntu-notification-helper solves the issue for now!

Rebooted out of curiosity about 15 minutes ago. So far no runaway processes. kded5 is at 44MB.

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.

For curiosity sake. I re-installed the kubuntu-notification-helper.

Logged out, then logged back in.

The only thing I opened was System Monitor (CTRL + ESC).

After about 5 minutes kded5 runs away with my RAM again.

I went into the console and purged the package again. Then decided maybe I should try to get some sort of meaningful information out of System Monitor:
