Bug ID: 467779
Summary: kwin hangs for a few min
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: core
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ary...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set the hostname to something unknown (e.g. "fedora")
2. add multiple (slow) dns hosts (in my case I had corporate vpn active which
most probably was causing host name resolving delay)
OBSERVED RESULT
Once in a while (sometimes several times a day) the kwin would hang, blocking
all activity.
Sometimes it would come back a few min later (if I had time to wait that long).
As a workaround I was able to bind a global shortcut for 'kwin_x11 --replace'
and restart kwin with a shortcut if it's stuck.
Once I changed my hostname to the one present in /etc/hosts kwin does not hang
any more.
EXPECTED RESULT
kwin should not hang while resolving hostname
