plasmashell often freeze in various operation like copy, move, delete. recently freeze in on camera:// delete action, and move file by dolphin. in move file situation. it will generate a progress bar which has nothing inside. in delete situation. it just file operation notification causing plasmashell LAG. Is there any progress about this, or how to workaround. It is annoy due to frequent happen. When it happened all action on plasmashell is not working.
Please give steps to reproduce and ideally a backtrace of plasmashell whilst frozen.
1. connect phone or camera. 2. browse camera:// on dolphin 3. delete lots of file on that device. 4. it may freeze during deleting. It did not 100% reproduce, but I has met frequently.
I think I may found a possibility about freeze. I found plasmashell will const execute plasma-changeicons in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec in ubuntu causing large cpu usage and causing freeze even I just copy a file, not change icon. after rename about that file. the plasmashell will become normal.
Thanks for the update, changing status.
That makes no sense the only thing executing plasma-changeicons is the icons KCM in systemsettings
I also think so. Now the apt update will also freeze plasmashell itself. I did not know why.
sorry I mean apt upgrade. when install or update package. last time I notice seems cups update
Sorry Tom, but this bug report is in general too vague to really pin point the issue at hand. If you find a reliable way to reproduce the issues you experience and can better narrow them down, pls reopen. For example if plasmashell freezes, try to get a backtrace as David mentioned. Closing for now.
