Description Søren Holm 2014-01-04 15:51:12 UTC

KDE hangs a few seconds during startup. It does that every time.

Accourding to [1] it is because of some sound issue. Disabling kmixd system service solved it for me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Logout 
2. Login again a notice the pause in the startup.
Actual Results:  
The system stalls for a few seconds.

Expected Results:  
The system should continue without stalling.

Accouding to [1] it could be related to specifics in the sound hardware. So not everyone migt experience it. For the record I amd running KDE on a Lenovo T430S

Basically deleting /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop removes the problem.

About the commit link. I was pretty sure it was the DBUS/MPRIS2 issue, which took several commits. Here is the link to the last commit and the ticket:
