           Summary: system freeze when plugging in USB-stick
           Product: unknown
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: didi156 at gmail.com


Version:           unknown (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31-20-generic

Initially it all looked like a HW issue, but seems not:
When attaching an USB-stick to my PC, it freezes in the moment the LED of the
stick begins to blink. Freeeze means: mouse pointer dead, nomore GUI update, no
reaction at any keyboard input. I can always reproduce that, tried with 2
sticks and on different USB ports.
Also tried with an SuSE 11.0 install (KDE 3.5) on same machine/HDD, but
different partition, there no probelem (no freeze, can access sticks content).
What pointed me to KDE:
I tried the following: log out, stop kdm from console, attach USB-stick (is
mounted successfully), then start kdm and login again. That way everything is
fine (also USB-stick access).
I have "kubuntu-ppa/backports" added to sources list and think that one of the
recent updates may have broken this.
