Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

How I manage to reproduce this on my machine: Use kickoff menu, have a
NFS mount (in my case, mounted before KDE started), unplug the network
cable and wait. Plasma hangs after a few seconds-minutes and comes back
to life when I plug my network cable back. Also, adding the kickoff
plugin when the network cable is unplugged results in a immediate crash.

I ran strace on plasma and the result when the hang appears is this:

lstat("/dev/md1", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0640, st_rdev=makedev(9, 1), ...}) = 0
lstat("/", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
lstat("/dev/md2", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0640, st_rdev=makedev(9, 2), ...}) = 0
lstat("/volatile", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=56, ...}) = 0
lstat("/dev/md0", {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0640, st_rdev=makedev(9, 0), ...}) = 0
lstat("/boot", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=1024, ...}) = 0
lstat("firebird:/home/ftp/pub", 0x7fffda66dec0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
lstat("/home/ftp/pub",  <unfinished ...>

So it is obviosly trying to lstat all devices *and* mountpoints. This
leads to hangs, and I believe stating the nfs path is incorrect
behaviour either way.

Of course, such hangs in apps are expected (and wanted) when nfs goes
away, but having the whole plasma hang is quite an unpleasant side
effect, and likely possible to fix. :)

Can someone please fix it urgently.

Environment:
Debian Unstable, KDE 4.2.2

Problem:
When NFS mounted and unplug cable plasma process reports "disk sleep". Any part of Plasma is not responsive.

Yes, when there is no Kickoff menu the NFS disconnection doesn't lead to
Plasma hang. There was some strange behaviour in some gadgets and apps,
but I can't recall what it was, but the behaviour described in the
report happens due to Kickoff. I don't claim that the root cause is
Kickoff's code, though. But the "Computer" section in the menu is what
most probably triggers it.

To be clear what I mean by "some strange behaviour" above: Trying to
open a folder containing a disconnected NFS mount with Dolphin is an
example. Dolphin is responsive, but huge part of the files and folders
in the folder simply aren't shown until NFS comes back.

Yes i can confirm the same behaviour with Arch Linux KDE 4.2.4.

I've got two NFS shares mounted upon connecting to my home wireless
server. Whenever I turn my wifi-switch off, plasma hangs. This doesn't
happen when NFS shares are unmounted.

I've also tested the case with a cable connection. Same story: when NFS
shares are mounted, unplugging the cable causes plasma to freeze. With
no NFS shares, everything works alright.

Is the problem with kde or kernel. Can any kde devs confirm?

Is the hang gone with the attached patch bug184062.diff? Best way to
test that is to have only the kickoff applet running and no other
applet.

The patch looks wrong, porting from KDirWatch to QFileSystemWatcher is
the wrong thing to do. KDirWatcher should simply not block, and that's
the real cause of the problem.

Now the question is "where does it block (when it shouldn't)?". Anyone
who can reproduce the problem, please attach a debugger to your Plasma
and tell us where it blocks. Those that have reported crashers, please
supply a backtrace.

The s/KDirWatch/QFileSystemWatcher workaround is unlikely to go in like
this.

Well, the backtrace requested in comment #27 would be much more useful
than a bad patch (we use KDirWatch everywhere else in KDE, so the
problem would just move to somewhere else).

But this is really odd, the patch is about the RecentDocuments directory
which is something like $KDEHOME/share/apps/RecentDocuments/, and which
contains only desktop files, this should be totally unrelated to NFS
mounts.

I'm on 4.5 and suffer from this bug, but it's a bit different. I use an USB wireless dongle to connect to my router, but some days the signal is very very weak and connection is dropped or is near to 0 (zero). Every time network is lost I get plasma-desktop freezes. I'm sure it's only a plasma bug because other apps work, either KDE apps (kate) or GNOME apps (gedit), Qt and gtk ones (amarok and firefox). Even KRunner starts and runs normally if I type Alt+F2, but plasma-desktop becomes unresponsive: the desktop doesn't respond to mouse clicks, neither the panel. Also, the UI doesn't get updated (eg when I hover workspace or taskbar or kickoff icon). I don't know how to attach information, but I see this bug is 2 years old and since it's very very annoying I think you should set its priority to HIGH and fix it as soon as possible, because it makes it impossible to use the box 'til the network is back
I love KDE but this bug makes me waste hours, waiting for the taskbar to get my click and change the application in foreground, just to do a copy and paste.
Please, fix it

I see a short block of plasma when an USB device is attached. But this was too short for me to find a blocking code.

I'm trying to reproduce the nfs problems in KDE 4.4 and 4.6 trunk. But I
wasn't lucky. I mounted an nfs folder of another laptop - killed its
wifi - and plasma was running flawlessly.

The only block I can observe is dolphin which blocks if I add an nfs
folder to its places. Can anyone help me finding a way to reproduce
this?

Whenever the VPN drops, or when I hit "Disconnect" button, plasma freezes hardly - no application launching, no widgets activity.

Command "kbuildsycoca4 && pkill plasma && kstart plasma-desktop" doesn't work for me - plasma gets killed but fails to start.
I should mention that I have experienced this same bug when disconnecting my 3G modem. I have seen this 3 or 4 times, but it isn't as stable as with l2tp vpn.

Workaround: 
If I switch "Application Launcher Menu Settings" to old style menu it not hang anymore:
-> unlock widget
  -> right click on "K" start menu -> "Switch to Classic Menu Style"

gdb hand for a while when attaching to process: ( 300sec ) .. then I can make a BT for plasma or dolphin .. see attached : kickoff_bt.txt and kickoff_bt.txt
Maybe it's to late because of un-hang after 300sec .. 


Same behaviour with Dolphin when the share is unavailable, Dolphin hang for 300secs 

Dolphin suffer from the same hang while disconnecting network because dolphin list all local disks and shares mounted ..
Dolphin hang until kernel disconnect the unavailable share  :
CIFS VFS: Server apodc-02 has not responded in 300 seconds. Reconnecting...

I experience the same but it isn't just limited to nfs/cifs... also
sshfs mounts that can't be accessed because of network problems. Plasma
/ Dolphin also stalls there for some time.

the kickoff issue in comment #46 and #50 is something different, and i
fixed it today by putting the disk stating code in a thread so it won't
block. (worst case scenario: the thread just block indefinitely).
dolphin should do similarly.

the KDirLister freezing issue is the real remaining issue here and until
someone can provide a backtrace (as Phillippe did in comment #50 for the
kickoff issue: thanks!) it will be very hard to know what to do with
this.

Now it is May 2012 and this bug is still there. I use Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 4.8.2 and kernel 3.2.0 and still experience the same. Why isn't this a major priority for the software guys (and girls)? I mean, hanging systems are not very user-friendly, especially when they hang since at least 2009 already.
Please fix this issue a.s.a.p.
