Description Forgotten User y7f055FA1m 2008-03-27 22:51:14 UTC

Clicking on the "Computer" button in the lower-left corner of the screen lags (does nothing) for >0.5 sec. This is on a Core Duo with 1GB of RAM.

I often click the "Computer" button twice because nothing happens immediately when I click it for the 1st time.

Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2008-04-01 00:49:06 UTC

Could you please paste the output of these commands:

grep -i uri ~/.recently-used | wc -l
grep -i href ~/.recently-used.xbel | wc -l
ls ~/.thumbnails/large | wc -l
ls ~/.thumbnails/normal | wc -l

Comment 2 Magnus Boman 2008-04-01 05:49:00 UTC

Simon, also, are you running 32 or 64bit?

Comment 3 Magnus Boman 2008-04-02 12:12:31 UTC

This could be related to Bug #375701

Comment 4 Forgotten User y7f055FA1m 2008-04-02 14:49:26 UTC

grep -i uri ~/.recently-used | wc -l
grep: /home/linux/.recently-used: No such file or directory
0

grep -i href ~/.recently-used.xbel | wc -l
2

ls ~/.thumbnails/large | wc -l
ls: cannot access /home/linux/.thumbnails/large: No such file or directory
0

ls ~/.thumbnails/normal | wc -l
ls: cannot access /home/linux/.thumbnails/normal: No such file or directory
0

This is on 2 different 32-bit systems (desktop and notebook), i945 chipsets each, using the Live system (from USB; no such lags in general; e.g. alt-F2 comes up almost immediately)

Tried "zypper install esound" as root, but got
Installation of esound-0.2.38-54 failed:
(with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: failed to stat /home/linux/.gvfs: Permission denied
so I can't tell whether that would fix it.

Comment 5 Federico Mena Quintero 2008-04-02 19:17:30 UTC

Simon, to clarify, does this delay only happen with a live USB image?

Comment 6 Forgotten User y7f055FA1m 2008-04-04 21:08:39 UTC

I can't say for sure, since I have no other system besides Live USB to test this on.

(In case you think Live USB might be slow in general: I've been using several different Live distros running from USB (including Ubuntu), and no other distro takes about half a second before the start menu is opened... so it can't be USB live systems in general that cause this lag.)

Comment 7 Magnus Boman 2008-04-05 00:09:41 UTC

I still think this is related to the esound bug. Please download the esound package manually and run;

rpm -Uhv --force    on the esound package.

Comment 8 Forgotten User y7f055FA1m 2008-04-11 16:51:38 UTC

Definitely esound. Installing it reduces the lag drastically.

Comment 9 Magnus Boman 2008-04-11 22:11:05 UTC

Ok, thanks for testing. Marking as a dupe of the esound bug.
