Hi,

First, Fedora 15 KDE is again really great! Thanks for this.

I've just one - minor - issue. Plasma-desktop raises to 100% cpu usage when I put widgets like CPU monitor, Network monitor or Hardware Temperature monitor on the desktop.

Anyone else sees this?

I'm using CPU monitor, Memory monitor, Network monitor, Folder view widgets and plasma-desktop CPU usage is under 3% (tested with Desktop effect w/ OpenGL enabled and disabled)

so try to remove plasma desktop settings and turn off desktop effect if enabled:

rm ~/.kde/share/apps/plasma-desktop*

Hi,

I don't have ~/.kde/share/apps/plasma-desktop*. Did you mean: ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop* ?

Hi Athmane,

Removed the files in config and everything seems fine now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :-)

Hi,

My response was a little too optimistic. :-( Widgets using ksysguardd are still making plasma-desktop mad. They slowly raising it's the cpu usage. Enable/disable desktop effects doesn't make any difference.

Btw. I'm also running rawhide - upgraded from a fresh F15 install, same kde version, different mesa/Xorg server) without any problems with those widgets. The nouveau driver is nearly identical in fc16 and fc15. (25.20110324git8378443.fc16 vs. 0.0.16-24.20110324git8378443.fc15).

Can it be an interaction issue between X and plasma-desktop? Or any other ideas?

Thanks,

Martin Kho

I can confirm the same exact behavior using the Intel drivers on a F14 system.

Curiously, another system running F15 and using the default ATI driver does not have the problem.

I'm planning to install F15 on the problem machine over the weekend, so that may change things.

Hi,

I've reinstalled F15 KDE (LiveCD this time) and saw that after the 0-day update (kde 4.6.2 -> 4.6.3) the issue started. E.g. the Temperature monitor shows a continous switching between 0 Celsius and the current MB/CPU temperature.
