Created attachment 183200 [details] System info and errors After logging in, the desktop and panels freeze for about 5 seconds. If I manage to launch the firefox or kate and other programs before the desktop freezes, they work fine. If I use key combinations to launch applications, they work even when the desktop does not respond. Ubuntu 25.04 and kde plasma 6.4.2 are currently installed. I checked on different distributions before: Clear Linux, debian 12, debian 13, the same problem everywhere. The problem is repeated on x11 and wayland. I checked diferent versions of kde plasma on other distributions, it also has the same problem. There is no problem on Gnome. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start system 2. wait until desktop freeze (about 5-15 seconds before freeze) OBSERVED RESULT plasmashell freezes for 5 seconds after login EXPECTED RESULT no freezes SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 25.04 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0 Qt Version: 6.8.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION After logging in, the desktop and panels freeze for about 5 seconds.

Thanks for the bug report, and I'm sorry we didn't manage to get to it yet. This sounds very odd, especially that it persists with a bunch of different Linux distributions. When you say you checked with several of them (thanks for that), was it with a live session for each of those distros on the same hardware? By any chance do you have a separate home directory and you were using that home directory in the different distributions for all the tests? If possible, can you test on a different machine to see if it might be computer-specific, or with a clean user account to see if it might be user-account-specific? Just to help narrow it down.

Just to help narrow it down. I tested it on the distributions installed on my PC. The components were not changed. I always used the home directory by default. Now on kde plasma 6.4.3 the problem remains. Unfortunately, I have no opportunity to test it on another PC in the near future. I am inclined to think that the problem is only on my PC since no one else has written about a similar problem. Considering this, you may close the report.
So you have multiple operating systems installed, and each of them use the same home folder and user account? Is that right?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > So you have multiple operating systems installed, and each of them use the > same home folder and user account? Is that right? No. I used clear linux for about a week. Then I installed Debian 12 and used it for about a month. Then I upgraded to debian 13 and used it for about a week. Then I installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed and used it for a couple of hours. Then I installed Ubuntu 25.04, then I installed kde plasma stable on it. I used it for a couple of weeks, then I upgraded to kde plasma 6.4.2 and used it for about a month, then 6.4.3 came out, I upgraded to it and I'm still using it.
And in all cases, did you use the same home folder/user account? Or did each re-installation also create a new clean user account?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > And in all cases, did you use the same home folder/user account? Or did each > re-installation also create a new clean user account? Each time I installed a clean system with formatting ssd and auto-partitioning of the disk. In clear linux and debian I used ext4, on opensuse btrfs, on ubuntu zfs now. Home folder default by distribution. User name was always be the same.
Thanks! In that case, the only point of commonality is the hardware. Your testing spanned versions of Plasma, the kernel, and the middleware stack from a range of years apart. I very much doubt there's anything software-related here.
