Description Arek Guzinski 2018-03-13 10:10:12 UTC
Every time i log in to plasma, the splash screen is visible for exactly 30 seconds (i assume thats the timeout).
However plasma is ready after a few seconds.

$ top -b > log
shows that there is barely any CPU activity after 8 seconds.

$ when i log in via ssh and killall ksplashqml prematurely, plasma looks perfectly ready.

I created a new user and logged in: same problem.

On another (much slower) Computer with the same package versions, ksplashqml disappears after about 15 seconds, likely because plasma is ready...

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380495 sounded like it might be related, so i tried the patch: no change


This has been going on for a while now.. perhaps since 5.12.0

Now i'm out of ideas where to look :/
What would, under normal circumstances, tell ksplashqml to quit?

>What would, under normal circumstances, tell ksplashqml to quit?

Plasma signalling it's ready (along with some other modules)

Can you include output of ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log after logging in.

Marking as needsinfo, please reset status to unconfirmed after attaching log

I would, if there was something to include.
$ ls -l ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log

same on my laptop btw. (where it's working properly)

are there any other logs that could help?

just saw your comment about the status.. interpreting it as "set now"..

I noticed one strange thing (althought my guess is it's probably unrelated):
when i log in as myself, the rotating thingie below the plasma-icon disappers after ~8 sec. For the new user, it keeps rotating the full 30 sec until the end.

Bug no longer occurs in 5.12.5 :)

As for formalaties: should I set the status to closed, or should that be done by the assignee/maintainer/whoever after some investigation into what might have fixed it? Are there any guidelines?

You can do it yourself. It's easy enough to re-open a bug. :)

I'll do it for you this time since I'm already commenting here.
