Bug ID: 398307
Summary: Activities history causing plasmashell to hang
Product: kactivitymanagerd
Version: 5.8.7
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: settings
Assignee: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Reporter: bs101...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Plasma was hanging ridiculously when starting up. Like 10-15 minutes to load.
Once a window like dolphin or web browser was up it would work fine and fast in
the app, but the menu, task manager, panel, and icons on the desktop would
hang. plasmashell seemed to be the culprit, but restarting it never fixed
anything. I changed plasmashell priority to "high" and that seemed to help
somewhat, but it didnt fix the issue. I attempted to turn off anything that
might be causing it to hang, with no luck. Long story short, when I found the
activities settings under desktop behavior, I went to the privacy tab and it
was set to remember opened documents for all applications as well as keep
history forever. I cleared activity history and after I did so a couple firefox
windows popped up and suddenly things started moving faster. I now have it set
to "do not remember" for opened documents and when starting up it starts up in
seconds compared to the 10-15 minutes I would have had to wait before. Huge
huge difference and I felt like it was worth sharing how I fixed the issue in
case it helps anyone else. I am 99% certain that no other factor could have
been the cause of plasmashell hanging because I had just done a fresh restart
and the activities setting is the only thing I changed before restarting again
and it is now working faster.
