You may want to help trying out Plasma5.12 and related updates.
* not for the unexperienced *

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22656

I am running it on two production machines + tests, and for us it have less but different quirks.

It is a bit tedious to test "only" the related updates though.

The adventorous me did the easy thing and installed *all* from testing and -knock on wood- system is stable.

me too i do the all, on a daily basis

as im more interested in the stability of the updates, and feeding back any new quirks to QA rather than their individual impact on those updating to them.

major updates to plasma on weekend of 12 May 2018 did not help this issue. Still Dolphin takes 100% of a core and needs to be killed by hand. It has stopped generating a bug report if you close it normally.

Add kmozillahelper to the list of things that take 100% of a core and need to be killed by hand also since updates.

The issue with Dolphin crashing on exit, and maxing out 1 core appears to have stopped as of late may 2018 - many, many plasma-related updates recently, so something positive :)
So, for me, as of today, this appears to be [Solved] - maybe OP can confirm?

cancel that - problem persists, had a glorious week or 2 of no dolphin troubles, then today it kicked off again.

It's was appearing in various forms in Bug reports for a while now, example: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21296 but this exact crash has not happened to me for a while, now Dolphin hangs int he background taking up 100% of a core until i kill it manually when i close - this seems only to happen if i use SMB or a (F4) Terminal in Dolphin.

It's frustrating because it is not chronic, sometimes it happens, sometimes not.

Well, that is a problem for a bugreport, in case there is no reproducible error then it's pretty hard for the developers to try to nail this down.

Did you try the workaround mentioned in that bug, does it help in your case?

I had a problem when closing konsole where it would show 100% CPU on one core until I killed it.
I could open a konsole (no Dolphin) and close it and it'd hang, but it quit with no updates.
I didn't even run anything in it. Your F4 and Dolphin my be a problem in konsole.

I did/do have a problem with Dolphin when closing multiple tabs. The popup notification will hang the whole thing.
I thought it was when I had a search in a tab but then I can't make it do it, so I don't know but it hasn't done it in a while.
If I track it down any better I'll post it.

Over the past weeks i have been making a point of NOT using the konsole F4 in Dolphin, and the processor takeover is rare now, but i am 99% convinced it's indeed Konsole that does this when used in Dolphin. I also think Dolphin has issues with SMB drives, forgetting, or asking for a password when there is none and so on, but really very sure Konsole use in Dolphin causes the processor takeover..

thats a great observation, as ive watched out for this issue, and never once realized that you used konsole in dolphin.

ive been watching my separate konsole instances and never once seen this issue.

im not sure what the benefit is of using konsole inside dolphin, so perhaps you can help with that.

I was having all kinds of problems but couldn't solve or even repeat them. They seemed to come and go which meant they never really quit. One was when I closed Konsole I'd have a CPU stuck at 100% and Dolphin did it sometimes, too. I had a flickering desktop when two windows were opened on top of each other after resuming from suspend. Before sleep, it was ok and restarting kwin_x11 fixed it. I used a small script on the desktop and just double clicked it after waking it up. This was better than logging out and back in.

Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/kwin_x11 --replace &


I removed my Nvidia GTX 760 and installed an AMD RX 580 and everything is fixed. I don't know how a Nvidia driver causes a stuck core when closing Konsole, but it sure appears changing the card fixed it. I haven't had a problem in a few days and this includes in Mageia 6 and Suse Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed hasn't been updated in months, it's for testing and working on Mageia if I break it. In Tumbleweed I removed the Nvidia driver and installed the open source driver, AMDGPU, and then over wrote xorg.conf with xorg.conf.install which was created at initial install. When I was able to boot into Tumbleweed, I double checked and everything seemed to be ok and I still didn't update it.

Mageia was much less trouble to get going. I removed the Nvidia driver and shutdown then changed the card and rebooted and it detected the new card and just worked. I gave you the driver details to point out that I didn't change anything that wasn't driver related and it fixed everything on both distros, so Nvidia is causing serious problems. I was using whatever the current Nvidia driver was in Mageia 6, nothing custom or anything. I hope this helps some of you.
