Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plasma-widgets-workspace
I have a 320 GB USB drive which has about 200 GB data. When I mount my drive, either clicking on Device Notifier applet or by dolphin Places, plasma panel freezes for a few seconds, ie until the drive is opened in dolphin it freezes the panel and everything goes back to normal once dolphin opens the drive. Its the same if I mount manually using mount command. Plasma freezes for a few seconds, during which 1. system tray works. 2. no other applets in plasma works - eg, desktop switcher, task manager, notifiactions 3. alt-tab switching of applications work. I believe its not related to device notifier. I removed Device Notifier. Mounted from konsole. After 2 seconds it freezes the plasma panel. I dont even have any dolphin or anything running. But the device is properly mounted. I opened a movie in the drive with mplayer when the plasma panel was in a frozen state. So my guess some process related to plasma is reading something from the device which freezes it. ** Affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- plasma panel freezes for a few seconds when opening a usb drrive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
