Launching applications on gnome is very slow
Last modified: 2007-09-17 17:35:46 UTC
I have installed opensuse 10.3 beta3 with the gnome CD. After the installation, launching any gnome program takes ages. To reproduce: Launch any gnome app Wait.. Wait.. Wait.. Wait some more And more.. The app appears
Can you provide the output of 'hostname' and ls -al /usr/share/icons/Tango/icon-theme.cache ?
Here it is: sayao@thiago:~/Downloads> hostname thiago sayao@thiago:~/Downloads> ls -al /usr/share/icons/Tango/icon-theme.cache -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2427160 2007-09-12 20:55 /usr/share/icons/Tango/icon-theme.cache Thanks!
Must be something on the icon cache, changing the theme to "industrial" fixed the problem.
Sorry, false alarm. The problem persists.
Thiago, please update your gtk2 package when it becomes available (RC1?); I submitted a fix yesterday. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 303869 ***
IMHO if this is SL10.3 B3 - I have horrific session managment problems. Thiago - can you confirm that if you launch a terminal and do: unset SESSION_MANAGER then try starting an app. If it's the same as me that will fix it immediately - it was some SM timeout [ the icon cache, while stupid didn't cause that much grief for me ;-].
I have tried the patch on bug 303869 but the problem persists, so i can confirm that this patch doesn´t fix the slowness problem. Michael: I will try it as soon i´m on my machine. Thanks :)
Michael: Unsetting SESSION_MANAGER and launching programs on the same terminal seems to fix the problem.
Still need /etc/hosts. I suspect that the output of 'hostname' is not in /etc/hosts.
Quite possibly bug 304632.
Created attachment 172710 [details] /etc/hosts
Yes, you have no machine name other than localhost. I assume the output of "hostname" != localhost. I'll guess two other pieces based on my experimentation, you are using NetworkManager and you have a custom hostname that is not changed based on dhcp and "Write hostname to /etc/hosts" is checked in the yast network interface.
Both "Change Hostname via DHCP" and "Write hostname do /etc/hosts" are checked and i'm using NetworkManager. Writing my ip and hostname on /etc/hosts seems to solve the problem. Maybe my router (which is also the dhcp server) is not returning my hostname? Or maybe the network scripts are not writing it to /etc/hosts? Thanks.
ok, tracking it in the other bug then *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 304632 ***
Well - JP is right of course, but I just did a default install - nothing 'clever' changed at all wrt. networking ;-)
