SUMMARY When mounting a cifs share from fstab, plasma will consistently lock up (or "black screen? widgets load, but do not update, I can open terminal via ctrl+alt+t, but panels, etc are frozen and not loading). I've habitually started running `systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service` once the freezes start, which will continue to hang until something seems to timeout, and will allow plasma to restart normally. No variation of options for delaying (_netdev, x-systemd.automount, x-systemd.after=network-online.target) seem to affect this outside of disabling (noauto) or just commenting the entry out. When using x-systemd.automount, I can confirm there are logs that kded6 is the requesting process for the mount. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add cifs entry to fstab (example omitting creds: //192.168.1.101/share /mnt/share cifs x-systemd.automount,noauto,_netdev,nofail,credentials=/credsfile,uid=username,file_mode=0775 0 0) 2. Confirm mount works with mount -a 3. Reboot OBSERVED RESULT Plasma hangs on login for upwards of a minute on a "black desktop" EXPECTED RESULT Plasma logs in as normal SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
