It looks that the problem is being caused by one of the plasma widgets I use, although I have not been able to pinpoint it.
The problem is caused when there is little or no connectivity for some other, external reason. When I logged in to KDE as another user and with different desktop setup (and widgets), everything seemed to work. For ter moment let us consider the issue closed. I will post another comment if i manage to determine the offending widget. -- TCP sockets and plasmoids freeze when connecting to the network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
