[SOLVED] GUI Applications opening with 25 seconds delay

ShailMurtaza · 2023-05-28 09:53:55

My many GUI applications are launching with almost 25 seconds delay.
Not all have this delay but most of them have this issue. Firefox, thunar, nm-connection-editor and many other applications has this delay.
But Chrome is working fine.

This start to happen after I updated my system using

sudo pacman -Syu

Before update everything was fine. Weirdly my python3 modules installed using pip were also deleted after that update.

I'm using i3-gaps with lightdm as login manager.
Can anyone please help me?

Remove xdg-desktop-portal-gnome - it's broken outside gnome-shell as indicated by countless threads on the subject…

Thanks! That worked. But I didn't even installed it. What is it's usage?

Flatschpak requires one xdg-desktop-portal-impl
Why anyone would install flatschpak, I've no idea.

Edit: Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
