A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/865 Latte is unmaintained and DataEngines are going to be going away. Closing as not really relevant anymore. |
Created attachment 137306 [details] my latte bugged layout from clipboard applet SUMMARY For some time now I have a situation with my layout in Latte. When Latte is starting up it is frozen for around 8-10secs. The faulter as it appears is the Clipboard applet, by disabling it in the systray or by removing it from any panel or dock the startup sequence is executed without any blockers STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. You can use Latte Git version 2. Import the provided layout and choose it as default on startup 3. Start Latte with "latte-dock -d" and you should notice that startup is frozen for around 10secs 4a. Remove clipboard applet or disable it in the systray and restart Latte, startup sequence is proper again without any freezes. 4b. Or comment lines #76,77 in clipboard.qml file OBSERVED RESULT Latte startup freezes EXPECTED RESULT Latte startup should not be frozen DETAILS/DEVELOPMENT The blame here is PlasmaCore.DataSource in order to confirm it I disabled all clipboardSource references in org.kde.plasma.clipboard applet and the problem was still appearing. Afterwards I disabled lines #76,#77 in clipboard.qml file: #76, engine: "org.kde.plasma.clipboard" #77, connectedSources: "clipboard" and the problem was not appearing any more, I suppose the "org.kde.plasma.clipboad" DataSource engine falls into a situation that freezes the entire Latt service for around 10secs during startup.
