[Bug 501246] [NEW] kde hangs with nfs directories mounted and wireless enabled
You have been subscribed to a public bug: I have a couple of NFS directories mounted on /share/ via a wireless connection. If I log out of GNOME and log back into GNOME, it works fine. However, if I log out of GNOME and the wireless connection in KDE is not set to Connect Automatically or if it has the incorrect key, then when I log into KDE, the desktop hangs, presumably because it is trying to access the NFS mounted directories without a working wireless connection. NOTE: These directories are mounted on /share (the /home directory is local), so I don't know why KDE would access these directories anyway. I found two workarounds: (1) Unmount the directories in GNOME before logging into KDE. (NOTE: You have to do this _before_ logging out. If you wait until KDE hangs and then try to type Ctrl-Alt-F1 to unmount the directories, it won't work, since the wireless network connection isn't there. (2) Set the wireless connection to Connect Automatically. This can be confusing, because if, for example, the WPA key changes, it suddenly becomes impossible to log in to KDE. You have to unmount the NFS directories first, then log into KDE, then select the wireless connection and click Connect Automatically. Then you can mount the NFS directories again. In my case, I had reinstalled wireless drivers, which required me to re- enter the WPA key, but I couldn't get a working plasma-desktop running in order to set everything up. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 KDE 4.3 I believe the correct behaviour should be either to run whatever process is accessing the NFS mounted directories in parallel with the other desktop processes, so it doesn't hang the desktop and prevent things like the menu from working, or at least to display a message waiting for network, so it's clear to the user why the system is hung. ** Affects: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kde hangs with nfs directories mounted and wireless enabled https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/501246 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
