Hello fellow kde users, I have a nuisance in dolphin that I do not understand and I’m trying to get rid of, maybe somebody can help
When I open dolphin (my home dir opens first) and click on a directory, e.g. /home/user/Desktop, dolphin freezes for a few seconds (like 10 or so). In this moment, I hear my NAS disks spinning up and the freezing ends when the NAS (samba) is reachable. But I did not access any smb share itself. I clicked on e.g. /home/user/Desktop. My smb shares are mounted via fstab to /home/user/Shares/mountpoint, which I am not actually accessing. Also, this does not happen when I just open dolphin and it shows /home/user/, the short freezing just starts when I click on any directory. This of course never happens when my NAS disks have already spun up and are runnning fine, or I suspect it just is not noticeable then, because it’s not waiting for I/O.
What I tried so far: removing all the kio smb:// shares in dolphin’s left side bar, removing all “places” in left side bar that are mountpoints or “near mountpoints”
Could this maybe have something to do with a trash bin that get’s refreshed? In dolphin’s trash settings I see two smb mountpoints /home/user/Shares/mountpoint having a trash bin.
I’m happy to provide logs and config files, if this helps in any way, just let me know which
Regards
Since it happens in your home folder, can it be related to search ?
One option to test if that’s the case would be to mount your smb dir elsewhere and create a symlink in your home folder.
