Bug#878934: kde apps: long time to open NTFS in KDE apps
Package: plasma-desktop
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I installed Debian stretch from scratch and ran the updates. Installed iptables-persistent, ntfs-3g, plasma-desktop, dolphin, kwrite, kwin-x11, kscreen, sudo, and reportbug. I added /dev/sdb1 /media/Not_Encrypted ntfs-3g user,auto 0 0 to /etc/fstab and rebooted. When KDE starts up, I can go into the NTFS /media/Not_Encrpyted immediately through the CLI with no issues. If I try to access the partition through Dolphin, it takes exactly 4 minutes and 22 seconds to view the directory. It takes another 4 minutes and 22 seconds if I try to open a file. If I open Kwrite and attempt to open a file on the /media/Not_Encrypted partition, it also takes 4 minutes and 22 seconds to open it but can save the file immediately.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I reinstalled from scratch multiple times and got the same results with installing kde-plasma-desktop and kde-standard. I tried to use the PARTUUID, but got the same results.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Instant access through the CLI as expected. Any access through Dolphin or Kwrite takes exactly 4 minutes and 22 seconds. I have tested this with multiple installs.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The NTFS partition should be instantly accessed through Dolphin, Kwrite, and other KDE apps just as it does through the CLI. I have the ntfs-3g package installed and the /etc/fstab configuration set up so that it should be instantly accessed.
