Bug ID: 440082
Summary: Removable Media Tab Refuses to Load, Crashes System
Settings
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_deviceautomounter
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The removable devices tab simply refuses to load, but that consistently.
No stdout logs are produced, the application seems deadlocked and needs to be
closed externally.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I do not know how far that was responsible for it, but the problems occurred
after I mounted a new webcam via USB for the first time. Since then, this tab
simply won't open, even when the webcam was removed again, and subsequently
crashes the entire application. I do not know, however, whether the problem
existed before as well, or only since then.
1. Open system settings
(i. Mount webcam?)
2. Navigate to removable media tab
3. Click on this tab
4. Enjoy the crash
OBSERVED RESULT
Application becomes deadlocked and has to be terminated externally
EXPECTED RESULT
Program should not deadlock.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.8.0-59-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz
Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My best guess for how this issue came to be is that some system resource is
requested that simply is never accessible, resulting in the application waiting
forever to get access to that resource.
