Version: (using KDE 4.2.98) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Often when I resume after my computer was in standby the nm-applet I use from the Gnome Desktop seems to hang while attempting to reconnect to the network. During this time not only this applet itself, but the whole Plasma Desktop freezes. Is it somehow possible to avoid this behavior? Thanks a lot for developing and debugging!
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

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?

Do you have any NFS mount? (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 ***
