            Bug ID: 477805
           Summary: Service start timeout is ridiculously short
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: policykit-kde-agent-1
           Version: 5.27.9
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

The start timeout (walltime) is 5 seconds, which is significantly too short in
an emulated virtual machine, especially during session start when many services
are causing CPU and disk load.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an emulated virtual machine, e.g. aarch64 on x86_64
2. (install/use a live distribution)
3. Start a Plasma session

OBSERVED RESULT

polkit-kde-agent-1 is starting and killed after 5 seconds, started again,
killed again, etc.

This can happen 100 times in a row. Sometimes other plasma services run into
the same problem, exaggerating the problem.

EXPECTED RESULT

All services are just started once, as fast or slow as the system permits.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:  5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
Qt Version: 5.15

> The default timeout between quit signal and killing is ridiculously long

The "quit" timeout should be set with "TimeoutStopSec", not with "TimeoutSec". 
Gnome services have this correctly set, all Plasma services have this wrong.
