I confirm freezes of the whole panel after waking up from standby with unavailable nfs mounts in the background. The freeze goes away when the nfs target becomes available again. With xfce I did not have this problem. Without knowing the technical kde internal details I think that network mounts should be detected by kde and be marked as unreliable, i.e., nothing should depend on them to prevent such execution blockings.
I am running arch linux with the following packages: linux 3.12.8-1 extra/kdebase-lib 4.12.1-1 extra/kdebase-plasma 4.12.1-1 extra/kdebase-runtime 4.12.1-2 extra/kdebase-workspace 4.11.5-1 Btw: Several nfs directories are mounted using the bg flag. I guess one workaround for users having this problem is to mount network shares via autofs. However, the kde core gui parts such as the panel should definitely not freeze when, e.g., a connected network attached storage is offline. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406154 Title: [karmic] plasma panel freezes for a few seconds when opening a usb drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kde-baseapps/+bug/406154/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
