[Bug 1026025] New: plasmashell hangs, stopping the desktop from working
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1026025 Bug ID: 1026025 Summary: plasmashell hangs, stopping the desktop from working Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: rens.groenewegen@xs4all.nl QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- plasmashell hangs, making launcher, and all related stuff stuck. in some cases it even seems to kill the wireless connection. if it happens when resuming and screenlock is configured, the login (kdm, ssdm) is not accepting mouse or keyboard input. hovering over etc also show no response. applications (browser etc) keep functioning normally switching between applications has to be done with alt-tab, since the launcher does not work. it happens randomly as far as I can tell: while actively using the desktop, when logging on again, with or without having been suspended. work around is: alt-tab to start krunner (or when the screenlock login is active, open a console ) then set DISPLAY to :0 if on a console then do: $ killall plasmashell # wait for plasmashell to terminate $ plasmashelll everything works again. extremely annoying, especially when in the middle of a presentation or so..... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have been using the application launcher widget instead of the application menu and the problem has gone away. so it is the menu - based launcher that is apparently the culprit is someone finally going to DO something about this ?? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Menu is the one chosen by default, and is the one with the problem. It hangs, or looses track of focus, or whatever. Apps visible are still selectable and usable taskmanager widget stops working as well. Alt - tab and Alt-shift-tab still works. I have been using Dashboard now for 1 or 2 months, did not get stuck one single time. now we know what to fix. g/l Rens -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
