Re: KDE 5 sometimes hanging for a while, especially before showing dialogs

This is an unnecessary post.

Re: KDE 5 sometimes hanging for a while, especially before showing dialogs

Installing additional above-mentionned packages did not work for me. I use the following temporary workaround instead:

rm /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service

Re: KDE 5 sometimes hanging for a while, especially before showing dialogs

things are starting to make sense ....

# /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service

[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/bin/plasma_waitforname org.freedesktop.Notifications

$ plasma_waitforname --help
Usage: plasma_waitforname [options] [service]
Waits for D-Bus registration of the Notifications service.
Prevents notifications from being processed before the desktop is ready.

Options:
  -h, --help     Displays this help.
  -v, --version  Displays version information.

Arguments:
  service        Optionally listen for a service different than
                 'org.freedesktop.Notifications'

Re: KDE 5 sometimes hanging for a while, especially before showing dialogs

Very similar problem here also.  I have Arch installed on two machines, and I keep them updated.  They both exhibit the same behavior with KDE applications: Kate, Dolphin, Konsole, KDevelop, . . .  The problem began nearly a month or so ago.  I have LXDE as the desktop environment.  Every time after starting any of these applications, the program will hang for some time, and it works ok after the hang.  I have been updating everyday hoping there will be a fix, but not yet, so this is my first time actively trying to find a solution.

I also had problems with the nm-applet.

After reading through the posts and following links to similar problems I entered the following into konsole:

sudo pacman -S dunst notify-osd kdebase-runtime noticiation-daemon

Then I rebooted, so far the problem seems to have been resolved.

Yep, this was the only thing that worked nicely.

Thank you!
