Is there a way to check this behaviour without the systrayapp ? There was also a freeze related to the Kickoff menu after resuming. (you could also try to remove that Kickoff and check if it works properly or no) Thanks (In reply to comment #1) > Is there a way to check this behaviour without the systrayapp ? > There was also a freeze related to the Kickoff menu after resuming. (you could > also try to remove that Kickoff and check if it works properly or no) > Thanks Thanks for the quick answer. Meanwhile I've tested this a bit better: First I have to add an important detail, which I've forgot to mention in my original bug report: The freezing of plasma stops immediately when the nm-applet manages to establish a connection to the network. What I also tested and noticed: 1. I removed the System-Tray-Plasmoid from the panel, but the behavior was the same as before. I think it's because this Plasmoid is only a "viewer" for this applets, which means they are still running in the background and therefore can still lead to the same problem. 2. I killed the nm-applet which I suspected as the trigger of the problem, but the result was even worse: Except for some short moments from time to time where there was a response, Plasma didn't stop to freeze. Finally I started the nm-applet again and after it had connected to the network the freezing was gone. So I think it must be another part of Plasma or another system tray applet (Kopete?) which causes the freeze because it waits for a network connection. Hope this helps a bit more. If you removed the system tray plasmoid for testing and Plasma still suffered the freeze, then, there was no connection between nm-applet and Plasma; so it should be a different thing. Can you try to remove the Kickoff menu (the "K" icon) just to test ? Thanks OK. Now I've tested it without the Kickoff menu and in fact the freezing has mostly disappeared! In one of three tested cases without the Kickoff menu there was a little freeze but except for that the freezing has gone. How is this possible? Does Kickoff wait for a network connection or something else to be provided after a suspend-to-RAM?

(like bug 184062) ? Thanks Not NFS but an SMB-Share mounted over cifs. So Kickoff tries to look for the contents of this share and hangs because this is impossible without a network connection? (In reply to comment #5) > Do you have any NFS mount? (like bug 184062) ? Thanks Yes, it seems that way. Merging with bug 184062. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 184062 *** |
