It was indeed Apper update service that was blocking it (the other plasmoids apps maybe slowed it down but never froze it completely like did Apper). Disabled it and now it works perfectly!<br />MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-66856476381396919322013-11-16T18:10:35.765-02:002013-11-16T18:10:35.765-02:00Here we are, over a year later, and the problem is...Here we are, over a year later, and the problem is still around. The plasma-desktop in Kubuntu 12.04.x, and now in KWheezy 1.3 frequently freezes. Luckily the keyboard still works and I can use Ctrl+Esc to open ksysmon and then I right mouse on the plasma-deskstop line and send it an "INT" signal, which unfreezes it immediately. <br /><br />I just disabled apper. Will see if that helps.<br />GGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-48997617290960935802012-07-13T14:22:49.463-03:002012-07-13T14:22:49.463-03:00I'm not sure if it helps anyone, but I'm o...I'm not sure if it helps anyone, but I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 with KDE 4.8.4 and NM 0.9.0.1-0ubuntu2. I do *not* have apper installed. <br /><br />After much reading and experimentation, it appears as though an autostart shell script that I have to startup pogoplug fs was the culprit. Once I removed that from starting, the panel returned to normal behavior.<br /><br />I have removed wicd and reinstated NM, and all seems to continue to work normally.<br /><br />So in my case, it seems to have been some interaction with trying to mount my pogoplug from the work wireless network, which worked previously, I might add.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-68228159271698037922012-06-22T10:29:13.628-03:002012-06-22T10:29:13.628-03:00I too am experiencing the Apper bug on debian whee...I too am experiencing the Apper bug on debian wheezy, KDE 4.7.4, which is very annoying because 1) dolphin takes forever before opening a window, and 2) several other programs affected include the right mouse button desktop menu (!), and system settings->startup & shutdown, which freezes when selecting the "services" panel - just so I can't remove the Apper monitor applet :-)<br /><br />Detecting Apper lockup is easy: every time the system is working, the Apper upgrade reminder icon will pop up in your panel within a couple minutes from login (provided there are any upgrades available). When it doesn't show up...you're in for a spin. Also, you cannot launch another package manager while Apper is locked. So all you can do is reboot...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-50364847742343263602012-03-13T02:02:34.042-03:002012-03-13T02:02:34.042-03:00Thanks for your blog on this issue.

However, I can speculate that the issue was related to using USB 3.0 external storage. I saw this with OpenSuse 12.1. The issue struck me as a showstopper and made me continue my search for a DE to replace Unity. This bug (or whatever similar bug I experienced) serious undermined my confidence in KDE as my new desktop. I cannot consider using a desktop that is subject to this kind of locking up. ( I never found a way to recover short of a hard reboot.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-15802306872597392872012-03-11T20:48:49.573-03:002012-03-11T20:48:49.573-03:00Interesting to see anoter issue with kded on KDE S...Interesting to see anoter issue with kded on KDE SC 4.8...<br /><a rel="nofollow">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294441</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-59331497278567309422012-03-11T11:00:15.007-03:002012-03-11T11:00:15.007-03:00uh, sorry for posting 2 times..uh, sorry for posting 2 times..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-51009113004766910902012-03-11T10:58:36.568-03:002012-03-11T10:58:36.568-03:00Men, I thought it was just KDE that is so damn slo...Men, I thought it was just KDE that is so damn slow at startup since I never saw it different.

For some reason, this problem seems not to happen with KDE SC below 4.8.0. Which KDE SC version do you use?Lamarquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689491144609928238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-45752090143219035762012-03-05T13:32:59.124-03:002012-03-05T13:32:59.124-03:00I'm using hte latest Apper 0.7.1 and I haven&#...I'm using hte latest Apper 0.7.1 and I haven't ran into this issue yet.

The freezes always happen when the notebook is sent to sleep at home and woken up at work. It can be fixed by pulling down yakuake, killing plasma-desktop and starting it again. It is annoying, yes, but in total the awesomess of this applet makes me willing to live with this glitch. For some reason I was under the impression this was a widely known issue that everybody just accepted just like I did.
