]]> My notebook with RTX3060 has this issue after do something I don’t know. OS is Ubuntu 18.04

Everything is ok after first time install RTX3060, there is no high cpu issue, but after install IME(gcin), nomachine and anydesk and do something I don’t remember, plasma high cpu usage issue happened.

Tried to uninstall anydesk, nomachine and gcin, but those actions cannot solve this issue.

but one time, when plasma cpu usage 100%, the nvidia-smi command shows GPU usage 100%, so I think whether if prevent plasma to use nvidia, it might solve this issue temporary ?

Plasma CPU / GPU usage is normal
Plasma CPU / GPU usage is high.

Notebook has intel i915 driver, so, prevent plasma to use GPU can solve this issue.

First modify /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf and replace it with text below 

# DO NOT EDIT. AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY gpu-manager

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "Nvidia Prime"
    MatchDriver "nvidia-drm"
    Driver "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
    Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"
    # Option "PrimaryGPU" "Yes"
    ModulePath "/x86_64-linux-gnu/nvidia/xorg"
EndSection


Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "intel"
    MatchDriver "i915"
    Driver "modesetting"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"
EndSection

Protect the file will not be overwrite by gpu-manager

chattr +i /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf

Reboot system and run nvidia-smi, plasma will not use nvidia GPU, so my plasma cpu usage 100% issue disappear.

this solution might not solve all plasma 100% cpu usage issue, but might be one possible solution.

Plasma without GPU
