GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 783990
Meld takes a long time to start
Last modified: 2017-12-13 19:26:39 UTC
Created attachment 354093 [details] Excerpt of output of python2 -mtrace --trace /usr/bin/meld. (Full file cannot be attached as it was very big.) I am using the following system: 1. OS: Archlinux 2. Plasma Display Manager (5.10.2) 3. Kwin Window Manager (5.10.2) 4. GTK2 2.24.31 The meld application takes around than 25 seconds to show the window after entering the command on the command line. $ meld (wait 25 seconds) (see window) I tried this command: python2 -mtrace --trace /usr/bin/meld > output.txt and I have attached the output.txt. The whole 25 seconds are spent waiting at the line 225187 __init__.py(39): return getattr(self._introspection_module, name) I would be happy to provide more information if needed. What else should I do to determine the problem?
I want to add that the problem even occurs on a fresh configuration of Plasma Display Manager but does not occur when using GNOME Display Manager.
I don't use KDE, so you'll have to help me out here. When you say "Plasma Display Manager" is that SDDM? or KDM? Also, are they launching different sessions? I'm wondering whether this is an X11 vs Wayland issue. Is there anything useful in the system journal? Specifically I'm looking for dbus errors or something like that. If it sounds like I'm making wild guesses, it's because I am. I have no idea what's going on here, sorry.
Okay, so I cannot even reproduce this bug on my other computer, and it persists on first computer inspite of both having ArchLinux and having installed exactly the same packages. So, I am completely confused as what can be the issue. In any case, the details are Display Manager: SDDM Display Server: X11 Session: Plasma (X11) What do you mean when you say different sessions? It is not a different session for sure. In any case, this problem looks completely non reproducible, so for now, I do not see any way to proceed on this. Thank you for your reply.
