Public bug reported: Plasmashell freeze after typing a web adress in kickoff or krunner e.g. www.google.de if a (valid) proxy is set in <system settings>-<network>.
It does not matter which proxy type was selected: Automatic, system proxy, proxy url, manually. If no proxy was selected, plasmashell doesn't freeze after typing a webadress: My default browser opens with an information page from our company, that I use wrong proxy settings. Note, my default browser (Konqueror) can detect the proxy, if I open direct Konqueror and then typing the adress in the url bar. Because plasmashell use the settings from this config file: ~/.config/kioslaverc Konqueror use the settings from this config file: ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc So you see that the proxy configuration for old KDE4 applications works. However, plasma 5 (plasma shell) can no longer connect to the proxy (no matter what configuration has been selected) and crashes when calling a web address. ** Affects: plasma-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: network plasmashell proxy vivid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450114 Title: Plasmashell freeze if a proxy is used.
