            Bug ID: 407855
           Summary: Kdeinit5 unable to write to NFS share
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: bigbrovar at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Kde is unable to start when user home is an NFSv3 share. I can also confirm
this to happen when you try to run a kde application in other desktop
environment like gnome or even mint. I get this error

No text-to-speech plug-ins were found.

"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so"
XmbTextListToTextProperty result code -2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try login to a KDE session or a run a kde application on another desktop
environment.
2. Application fails with kdeinit5 complaining of inability to write to home
directory
3. Home directory is writable from the shell and other non kde applications are
working fine

OBSERVED RESULT

XmbTextListToTextProperty result code -2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)



EXPECTED RESULT
Kde application should run fine even in a nfs share which is well configured
and writable to the user
