--- Comment #2 from torokat...@gmail.com --- (In reply to David Edmundson from comment #1) > If firefox gets locked up that is a firefox bug and needs to be reported > there. That's not on us. Firefox looks more like it is completely blocked waiting for something external. No obvious resource bottleneck, such as CPU usage or memory consumption, disk operations, etc. And it's always when trying to show a notification - now that I think about it, it doesn't even have to be about an incoming mail, it could be about a new YouTube upload, or something else. If I leave it alone, after several seconds, sometimes it resumes operation, then immediately shows the notification that triggered the glitch, but not in plasmashell, in its own little window instead. And after this, all further notifications are also shown using the internal fallback (as described), instead of by plasmashell. I was in fact not sure at all where to start reporting this: to dbus-broker, Firefox, the Fedora project, or here. It seemed like a fairly complex issue with all these pieces not properly cooperating. Sorry if it ends up not being the appropriate place, I just experienced most symptoms to be affecting Plasma. > You can capture a log with dbus-monitor or bustle (for a UI) when the > situation occurs. Thanks for the tip, Bustle looks really good! I'm going to try catching this occurrence with it, and will report back if I managed to do so. > >or causes the whole desktop to enter a strangely degraded state. > > can you expand on what this entails.

Overall the system is sort of usable, but a lot of small (inter-application) functionality stops working as it is supposed to, or as it did until that. > Please also confirm you're using plasmashell for notifcations not some third > party notification tool. I am not using anything out of the ordinary for notifications, just a plain Fedora KDE installation - granted, I have been updating it through a fair few major releases, I think I originally installed it as Fedora 28. I also have KDE Connect running, but it is not currently set up to mirror notifications from my phone to my desktop (nor the other way around), so I don't think that would interfere. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
