It can also start when using other desktops, such as LXDE and GNOME, when a KDE application like Konqueror or Gwenview is started. I use LXDE these days due to the current level of instability in the KDE Plasma desktop.<\/p>\n<p>Everything can be more or less fine until a crash occurs within a KDE application. At that point the\u00a0kactivitymanagerd program is engaged and, running in user space, it creates a series of core dump files that relate to the crash of the KDE related program. This causes extremely high levels of disk activity and can have a significant negative impact on the overall performance of the affected system.<\/p>\n<h2>Removing\u00a0kactivitymanagerd<\/h2>\n<p>In my Internet searches I found a number of references to problems with\u00a0kactivitymanagerd and various methods of dealing with it. The most successful results appear to be obtained from complete removal of this program. I used the following command to remove\u00a0kactivitymanagerd.<\/p>\n<pre>dnf remove -y kactivitymanagerd<\/pre>\n<p>This command also removes some dependencies, but that is a necessary side effect of getting control of the computer back.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a discussion of the issues with\u00a0kactivitymanagerd.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linuxquestions.org\/questions\/linux-newbie-8\/what-does-kactivitymanagerd-popup-mean-and-how-do-i-get-rid-of-it-4175613763\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.linuxquestions.org\/questions\/linux-newbie-8\/what-does-kactivitymanagerd-popup-mean-and-how-do-i-get-rid-of-it-4175613763\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my post KDE Komplications, I discussed some of the issues with the kactivitymanagerd program.
