Bug ID: 374983
Summary: Plasma shell freezes / hangs indefinitely
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.8.2
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: tuk...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Hello, I've written this bug report to Debian in an attempt to prevent the KDE
desktop in it's current state from becoming part of the next stable release.
More information https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851216
I'm marking this as "grave" here because once the workspace freezes there is
nothing I can do to help it get back to normal except logout and login again.
Not only this is a major disruption which forces me to stop my current tasks,
it would also force novice users to do a hard reboot on their machines (using
the physical power button). The kickoff menu doesn't work so they can't access
the "reboot" function or even "logout". I can do it because I know a few
shortcuts and other ways to access windows to close what I'm doing prior to
logging out but this is something not all users know, so they could and would
effectively be locked inside their frozen desktop sessions.
Let me know what sort of extra information I can provide concerning this. The
only thing I haven't put into the Debian report is that I use an "auto-hide"
panel for my menus, task manager and system tray - but I don't think that is
really relevant...
