Description of problem: Since this afternoon, dolphin doesn't appears after launching. Okular is stuck when a file is opening. With strace I get similar errors, the applications are closed in loop, with repeatedly: write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffff45d4440) = 0 select(20, [19], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) This occurs for now at each time I try to launch dolphin or open a file with okular. I will try to reboot after that.

Kwrite has the same behaviour
The applications are fine after a reboot. Some days ago, I switched from Plasma to LXQt, because of the same behaviour seemed to affect plasmashell and the session was becoming unusable. Now, at least the desktop survives to such problems.

Hi Lewis, No, I don't to close it for the moment, because I suspect that this bad behaviour will come back later. Rebooting a few times each day is not a good situation.

This would of course be unacceptable. > No, I don't to close it for the moment, because I suspect that this bad > behaviour will come back later. If the problem recurs, then we can assign the bug. If it does not recur in the short term, please do close the bug; it can always be re-opened subsequently.
Summary: dolphin and okular hang => dolphin kwrite and okular hang
Hello, Today, I got a hang of kwrite. I could kill it. I relaunched it from console with strace. After a moment without activity, I see that the console went with same kind of log, when the application was unresponsive, even from the closing cross. here is a part of logs which are repeated without end: ... nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) write(5, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 nanosleep({tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=50000000}, 0x7ffd8ef0f950) = 0 select(19, [18], NULL, NULL, {tv_sec=0, tv_usec=0}) = 0 (Timeout) ... At this time, okular and dolphin are working fine.
So the fault is arbitrary, but Plasma related. Thank you for the log information. Assigning to the Plasma team.

Note that some time, when killing the unresponsive application, the whole desktop freezes. This occurs each day.
Severity: normal => major
Konversation is affected too.
Created attachment 11396 [details] freezes with simple search in kwrite It is almost certain that the problem is with the version of plasma in MAGEIA 7. I am attaching a few screen shots, but I have many more. At first I thought it was the chipset so I had that replaced, but the phenomena persisted. I reinstalled MAGEIA 6.1 (which I assume has an older version of plasma) and I have not had any problems. I looked on the KDE bugzilla page and saw that similar problems were reported there. I posted a comment similar to this one there

Hi Roger, For what I see, the system comes back to a normal state after a while. This is not the behaviour I reported. In my case, the application which freezes doesn't come back to a normal state, and when I kill it, most of the case it will kill also the desktop.
Hi, I disabled seafile and the problem never occured since. Thus I suspect it was the culprit. Closing now.
