Also getting this bug (Ubutu 12.04 - KDE 4.8.5). I usually get by using the following: 1. Lazy unmount of the problematic mount point (sudo umount -l /mnt/mountpoint). 2. Restart plasma : killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop That allows the panel to unfreeze. Unfortunately, it also pollutes the notification area with lots of spurious notification entries, resulting in a smaller (width-speaking) taskbar/paenl. I have to manually hide those to get back to the actual panel width (see screenshot).
Is there something we can do to help as users (getting backtraces, etc) so that this problem is fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406154 Title: [karmic] plasma panel freezes for a few seconds when opening a usb drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kde-baseapps/+bug/406154/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
