Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-08-01 15:13:18 UTC 
Is this reproducible now that the new KCM has landed? Please wait a few days, update your Neon, make sure you have the new KCM (it looks visually like other modernized ones) and then try again. Thanks!
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2019-08-02 17:15:18 UTC 
This bug is still reproducible with the new KCM on Neon unstable edition.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-08-02 17:31:42 UTC

Comment 5 Harald Sitter 2022-03-22 08:19:44 UTC 
Warning from helper: QProcess: Destroyed while process ("/usr/sbin/update-initramfs") is still running.
Comment 6 Harald Sitter 2022-03-22 08:20:08 UTC 
Not reproducible on a fresh install. One would need to slow down initramfs or install a bunch of kernel litter.

substantially bump the helper timeout

its running time entirely depends on how fast the initrds are
to generate and how many there are. 60 seconds may not be nearly
enough.
