High CPU load (Linux Desktop Client)

[Lanzi]

Hi!

I’m using Linux Mint 18.4 (KDE) on my Lenovo W530 notebook.

Everything works fine but after synchronizing files, the client uses 100% of one of my CPU cores and this state remains unchanged until restarting the nextcloud client.

Plasmashell on NVIDIA hardware is known to cause high CPU loads, when animation of notification icons is enabled.

There’s a workaround for this phenomenon and after applying the recommended Changes in the “NotificationIcon.qml” none of my other programs causes plasmashell to eat CPU.

Any ideas?

The Nextcloud development of the client is still behind that of owncloud. They are currently make a huge effort to release a new version with client-side encryption which is out for testing:

Help test the next generation Nextcloud Desktop Clients!

Originally published at: Help test the next generation Nextcloud Desktop Clients! - Nextcloud Over the past months, the Nextcloud desktop team has been working hard to integrate End-to-end Encryption as well as a number of other improvements in the Nextcloud desktop client. To facilitate testing, we’ve set up daily builds for Windows, Linux and Mac and we’d like to encourage you all to help test the clients!

It could be a good idea to test the new client if this bug has been fixed there. And if it still remains, please report it directly to the bugtracker on Issues · nextcloud/desktop · GitHub

I came up with another work around using cpulimit in the Autostart command. Solved it for me.

There are a few topics on github:

Issue: High CPU load with 2.5.x clients on Fedora 30

Issue: Unreasonable CPU usage

Please contribute to these topic if your problem is related, if not please open a new issue. Workarounds are a nice thing to fix something temporarily but please make sure the developers are aware of the problem and can solve it.
