Internet-surfing gave me some results. For me this bug doesn't reproduce if kded4 starts with networkstatus module (service) turned off. This idea was suggested here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220047#c28 But the module was loading always even when disabled in Service Manager or via qdbus. So to turn it off completely I had to edit /usr/share/kde4/services/kded/networkstatus.desktop $ sudo nano /usr/share/kde4/services/kded/networkstatus.desktop
There I set autoload and load-on-demand options to false: X-KDE-Kded-autoload=false X-KDE-Kded-load-on-demand=false Then - unloaded the module manually $ qdbus org.kde.kded /kded unloadModule networkstatus and restarted kded4 $ qdbus org.kde.kded /kded quit $ kded4 & Now I can trigger wlan connection without problems, but without networkstatus service. ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #220047 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220047 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-networkmanagement in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741200 Title: kded4 hangs when wlan toggled -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
