Bug ID: 473702
Summary: plasmashell does not disown child processes, making
exiting plasmashell with ^C kill them too
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: spleefe...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Some processes that are launched are set as children of plasmashell and do not
get disowned.
This is very problematic when ending the plasmashell process with CTRL+C, as it
sends SIGINT to its children processes, which happens to kill chromium and some
other apps on my system.
I do this often at the moment, as I am experiencing freezes and have to restart
plasmashell, which is a story for another bug report.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Relaunch plasmashell in a terminal with `plasmashell --replace`
2. Launch Chromium
3. Check htop or similar tool to see that chromium is a child process of
plasmashell
4. Press CTRL+C in the plasmashell terminal window
OBSERVED RESULT
Both plasmashell and chromium have gone the way of the saber-toothed tiger
EXPECTED RESULT
Only plasmashell says goodbye
