[SOLVED] Desktop environment slow start up

bladonski · 2024-10-25 20:32:04

I run a relatively minimalist arch setup, using a mostly vanilla version of dwm as my window manager. Usually the boot process of my computer is lightning fast but I've noticed recently that everytime I log in and the x server boots its been gradually taking longer and longer for my window manager to finish booting. I've been using this computer for almost 3 years now and have never had this issue until ~2 weeks ago, now it's taking about 5-10 seconds for it to boot when it used to boot almost instantly. I've updated everything on my computer, installed a completely fresh version of dwm, checked my xorg config, checked xorg logs etc but I can't seem to find a culprate for this... Has anybody been having this problem recently and have you found a cause for it?

It would help if you reported your computer configuration, especially CPU and GPU.

If you disable graphical login, is booting fast again?

I havent messed around with too many system conf files on this computer, if theres something else you'd like me to include lmk.

I may have not been clear but, I don't have graphical login, the slow boot process im talking about is after I login in (in which I have set xorg to automatically start). Also its important to note my computer doesn't seem to be having a hard time, it's never under load. It's only the initial boot into X that is slow.

I have set xorg to automatically start

Don't.

I guess you're running startx?
Post your xinitrc, try to "startx xterm" only and (see above) split login and X11 server start to isolate whether it's actually the X11 session or your shell that lags.

I should've mentioned that in trying to fix this myself I have a way to kill the x server in dwm, killing the x server and then trying to start it again with "startx" was just as slow so I figured it was x that was the culprate (because in testing I also removed everything from my .xinitrc and it was still starting slow). I did try what you said and removed the startx from my bash profile, restarted my computer, and logging in was just fine. Typing "startx xterm" however led to the same slow boot into the x server.

.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile
exec st &
exec slstatus &
exec dwm

1. your xinirtc is broken, last link below, 2nd blue note on what to include at least
2. "exec foo &" is nonsense, "exec foo" will replace the current process w/ foo, "foo &" will run "foo" and continue the script execution
3. removing *everything* from your xinitrc will either not work or fall over to the global xinitrc

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

I see what you mean and I will try to add that if block and remove all the unneeded exec commands when I get home and post my xorg log but I have a few questions.

I have not changed my .xinitrc for about 3 years and it was never booting slow until just recently, if my .xinitrc was broken all this time why wouldn't it always be booting slow? Also, as I'm typing this on my laptop (running basically all the same stuff) with the same broken .xinitrc as I posted above, booting into the x server is almost instant liked I'd expect. Do you have any ideas as to why this is?

That strikes be a bit like someone being diagnosed with lung cancer after smoking for their entire life: "you're saying my smoking caused the cancer? But I've been smoking my whole life, but only just now got cancer, so how could that be?"

Nothing that is off about your xinitrc would assure that there'd be a problem on every single start - but doing it right will avoid potential problems. As to whether or not the problematic xinitrc is the actual cause of the delay is not yet clear: but it'd be a bit foolish to puruse other possible causes until the most likely ones are ruled out.

The xinitrc comments were mostly "btw, fyi: you wanna fix that" . I don't think that the broken session contributes to the situation because of the "startx xterm" situation.
I maybe should have made this more explicit.

My money would have been eg. on slstatus but if the server also starts slow w/ only an xterm, we'll have to look at the server start itself - the critical part of my previous comment would have been the request for the xorg log, please post it.

Alright, I made the changes specified to my .xinitrc, heres the output of the xorg log:

[    13.900] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Remove that file, don't generate a new one. It's pointless cruft.

You probably want to add "nvidia_drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=0" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters (to make sure KMS is enabled, the simpledrm device blocked and to esp. test fbdev=0 because that tends to have varying benefits, see below)

The X11 server starts with a second or so, not "5-10 seconds", so I assume what you experience is purely visual, the fbdev default was recentlty flipped from 0 to 1 and is the strongest contender to cause this.

That did the trick! thanks!
