--- Comment #6 from k...@zottel.net --- In fact, it has reappeared with 5.17, and the problem doesn't seem to be the slow NAS. I meanwhile have a fast NAS and didn't see the problem for quite a while. It has reappeared now, though, slightly different, but still: When I log in, I see the progress bar. It goes to 100% and the launch bar shows. It is frozen, however. I can move the mouse, but when I click on the launch bar or right-click on the desktop background, nothing happens. The time shown in the launch bar doesn't update. After ~ 5 minutes, the background image is shown, and all mouse clicks I have done meanwhile are executed, the time in the launch bar updates, and I can use the system. This problem has reappeared together with others that had been fixed before, and especially one of them (a very strange one) might have to do with this problem: When I open an image on the NAS in Gwenview, it takes very long to load, some 30s or so. The spinner is frozen while it loads the image. This does not happen when I open an image on the local disk with Gwenview (even the same one copied over). Also, the NAS itself is fast, I can copy files with > 100MB/s, and other (non-KDE) image viewers don't show the same problem. This had been like that before, but was fixed. Now it reappeared, I think with 5.17. In Gwenview, this has been fixed again with 5.17.3 now, it's quick again. But maybe whatever problem Gwenview had is still present in the code to show the wallpapers? I can quickly go the next wallpaper image, though, no problem at that point. One more thing I found looking at the logs: Upon login, there are several thousand lines like the following: Nov 15 09:46:34 zottel plasmashell[740]: kf5.kpackage: No metadata file in the package, expected it at: "/mnt/ds/photo/2011/110809 Besuch von Rettbergs/" It seems that one of these lines is generated for every image file in the repository (i.e. as the directory mentioned in the log line above has around 50 files, there are ~ 50 identical lines like the one above, and then for all the other directories). BTW, the NAS is a CIFS mount with read/write access. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
