I have such behavior when I click on a link in KMail (my default browser is 
Iceweasel). Most of the

does happen quickly.
Another time when I see the spinner for quite a while is when (trying to)

My observations regarding the spinner:
- Sometimes KDE seems to think for (quite) a while what to do 
- The displayed time it'll take is not always accurate.

I aplologize, you are correct. In essence, my response to your quenstions
are below.

Mostly when I see the notifier in the first place is when I am copying
files. It works for smaller stuff, but large copies do not ever complete. As
I stated, this time it has been running for nearly 3 days. It stopped
copying within the first 2 hrs or so, and I successfully rsynced it in the
meantime...Twice.

I will look around, and if I don't find anything, open a bug.

  It has been running for two days now. In the meantime, I checked network
  traffic as well as directory contents on the target machine, verified
 that
  it was not running, then rsynced the entire directory in an hour.
 
  A couple of other times, I had that notification running for over a week,
  but couldn't restart X because I had other things going on.

 Hi,

 it's better to reply to the list, that way not only I will see it but
 others as well.

 Other than that, it does seem like it's failing somehow.
 What would also help is detailing the long-running-task as that may give
 (others) clues as well as
 to why it's not working. And if you can't find a solution/workaround, you'd
 best file a report on
 bugs.kde.org

Jobs in Notifications and Jobs never complete

2009-10-08 Thread B. Alexander
I have noticed that larger jobs that I run in KDE, never seem to complete.
I'm not really sure how to explain it, so let me give an example...

I opened Konqueror and did the two pane thing and fish://'ed to a remote
machine. I dragged a large directory over to be copied. Not only did the
copy not complete (I ended up rsyncing it by hand...Twice as it turns out),
but the notification icon is still showing 0/1 with the spinner, and
according to it, the job still has 8 days 9 hours remaining. It's sitting
here spinning like it is working, but I know it isn't because I rsynced it
by hand, destroyed and recreated the remote filesystem and rsynced again.

My two questions are why did the job not complete? It just seems like it
went for a while then lost interest. No errors, no alarms no nothing; and
what do I need to tweak/restart to clear the notification and jobs icon?

Thanks,
--b
