Bug ID: 460228
Summary: Kded5 freeze at startup if proxy enabled
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kded
Version: 5.92.0
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: matthew.li...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Suddenly I had many wierd problems (missing systray icons, freezes in
systemsettings on specific modules, etc) with my KDE session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable night colors
2. Set up proxy (I'm using PAC)
3. (Re)Start kded5
OBSERVED RESULT
kded5 freezes at the stage of starting the location services. As a consequence
many features are broken (missing systray icons, systemsettings also
freezes/times out due inability to get response via dbus)
EXPECTED RESULT
Should finish the startup sequence, and serve the requests.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I traced the problem to kded5. Kded5 freezes if proxy (PAC) is enabled at
startup. It looks like it attempts to start the location service, where it
freezes:
$ kded5 --replace
kcm_touchpad: Using X11 backend
Installing the delayed initialization callback.
org.kde.plasma.dataengine.geolocation: gpsd not found
"location"
It turned out enabling the night colors triggers the location services, which
looks like unable to operate properly with proxy enabled.
