Disabling the Free Space Notifier service (or commenting out the fstab entry and reloading the daemon) will resolve the issue Steps to reproduce: 1. Define an NFS mount in /etc/fstab: my.nas.local:/NAS /srv/NAS nfs defaults,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60s 0 0 2. Enable Free Space Notifier via System Settings > Background Services. 3. Reboot or re-login with the NAS powered off. 4. Observe: - Login stalls at black screen with cursor for ~1 minute. - Journal shows plasma-plasmashell.service timing out and restarting. - System eventually recovers. Workaround: Disabling Free Space Notifier removes the delay. Expected behavior: Free Space Notifier should not delay session startup if a disk is unreachable or unmounted. 2436858 1 iivanich 2025-06-27 09:42:49 +0000 Having the same issue, disabling Free Space Notifier via kcmshell6 kcm_kded helped. 2437789 2 kdedev 2025-07-01 17:34:04 +0000 This is part of an underlying issue with frameworks-kio that unfortunately has been a long standing problem. I'm merging this report in with the main report 272361. This may be able to be mitigated in the Free Space Notifier code, I'll let the developers make that determination. 2438727 3 sitter 2025-07-05 15:26:25 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 506488 ***
