Applications don't open on live Plasma ISO after connecting the WiFi
Open, LowPublic

Description

I don't know if this is reproducible, but i burnt with both Etcher and Rufus, more than one time each, and downloaded two instances of the ISO available on Patreon.

When on the live USB of the Plasma ISO with an installer, if i connect to the WiFi, applications don't open. They show up on the taskbar, and something force closes them.

I can't find a proper tag for it, i'm sorry.

Can people try to reproduce this? Just seems extremely odd

Just did again, and can confirm that if i disconnect, applications open again.

Hope someone can reproduce this.

I can't reproduce as I don't have wifi. @jppmarujo, can you try running something from the terminal? Disconnect the wifi, open konsole, then connect the wifi. See if you can type into konsole, and if so, try to start dolphin or some other app. Do you get any error messages?

@folcred , as soon as i get home from work i'll try it again. Thanks for the idea, i see if i can get some verbose feedback in order to help find a solution, or maybe get to the conclusion that's a problem on my end.
I'll replicate the Konsole feedback here.

I was testing yesterday on Hardware and can confirm that I was able to reproduce this bug consistently. I'm running on a Dell XPS 15 (9560). Opening apps then connecting the Wifi doesn't seem to have any adverse affect on the already running applications.

I haven't tried @folcred 's request yet.

I have this very issue with my desktop computer but with Ethernet connectivity. I'll try to unplug the cable as a test, to see if something changes.
I've burnt the latest Plasma ISO with Etcher on a 4GB thumb drive.

I confirm that unplugging the cable solves the problem. Weird.

I also encountered this issue with the budgie and plasma iso 3.9999. However no problems with the previous iso.
