Bug ID: 435097 Summary: 30s Frozen Start (timeout) of Dolphin, Gwenview, etc. caused by kactivitymanagerd Product: kactivitymanagerd Version: 5.21.3 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: ivan.cu...@kde.org Reporter: tonda.fisc...@gmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY After last update of arch to 5.21.3 there is a problem with starting of KDE applications like Dolphin, Gwenview, System Settings etc. The problem happens that the KDE apps are called in Gnome, Awesome or other environments/WMs. Directly the bug is not visible in KDE env. I spent 2 days on the analysis this bug. To compare all processes which are started or not. The problem is in coop with process: /usr/lib/kactivitymanagerd If this process is not started, or it is partial started, the 30s timeout on start apps happen. This is critical bug which cause bigger problems in other env/WMs. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. use KDE apps Dolphi, Gwenview, System Settings etc. in any other env/window managers. 2. the application is not started, wait 30-35s 3. the application is shown. OBSERVED RESULT Problem is that the /usr/lib/kactivitymanagerd is not normally started in any other envs. This is bigger change and dependency on internal deps in KDE. This doesn't belong to KDE API apps. EXPECTED RESULT Remove this dependency and timeout on /usr/lib/kactivitymanagerd. The cooperation has to be handle by different way.
