Bug ID: 428999
Summary: Plasmashell is freezing when laptop is connected to an
external monitor
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.15.4
Platform: Mageia RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Multi-screen support
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: mriganka13484+...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY Plasmashell is freezing when laptop is hooked on to an external monitor
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect laptop (on Linux 5.7.19-desktop-3.mga7 GNU/Linux, plasmashell
5.15.4) to an external monitor using an HDMI cable.
2. Log on to Mageia Desktop
3. After random 10-15 minutes of activity all the desktop panels freeze.
OBSERVED RESULT
When I hook my laptop up to an external monitor, plasmashell randomly freezes.
The panels are no longer active, but I can continue working on the existing
windows, and also switch between them using alt+tab. The only way to come back
from the freeze is to kill and launch plasmashell again (killall plasmashell &&
plasmashell). I have also observed that the 2 monitors freeze at different
times as I could see the clock stop at different times on both my screens.
EXPECTED RESULT
No freezing and uninterrupted work.
