[solved] Thunar is slow

tigrmesh · 2008-02-10 21:34:52

Since yesterday, Thunar has been slow.

arch ~  $  time thunar

real    10m23.580s
user    0m0.397s
sys    0m0.077s

Is anyone else having this problem?

I started with gnome and added xfce @ 2 weeks ago. Nautilus speed is fine.

arch ~  $  time nautilus

real    0m0.153s
user    0m0.053s
sys    0m0.020s

I use xfe4 too, but I don't have this issue.
My Thunar is fast as he should be.

$ time thunar

real    0m0.088s
user    0m0.007s
sys    0m0.007s

any errors when you start it from a terminal?

tigrmesh · 2008-02-10 22:34:51

No errors. Just slow.

EDIT: It was faster this morning.

I rebooted, now:

arch ~  $  time thunar

real    0m4.502s
user    0m0.410s
sys    0m0.093s

Weird.

tigrmesh:

Are you using some custom icon theme? Some of them (buggy ones) may lead to random crashes or performance degradation.

bangkok_manouel · 2008-02-11 04:02:15

if you '/etc/rc.d/network stop' for whatever reason, you'll get the same issue. that's why it may have been solved with a reboot.

@bangkok_manouel - That's it! Look at the difference:

arch ~  $  time thunar

real    0m11.622s
user    0m0.743s
sys    0m0.203s
arch ~  $  sudo /etc/rc.d/network stop
Password: 
:: Stopping Network                                                      [DONE] 
arch ~  $  time thunar

real    3m22.947s
user    0m0.707s
sys    0m0.167s

Our router often becomes unavailable for no reason (I assume it's our funky electricity), so I often stop and restart the network and netcfg2. I don't know if it's necessary, maybe I should go back to rebooting, which is how I used to fix the problem.

Thanks, all, for your help. Now I'm going to figure out how to mark this thread as solved.

bangkok_manouel · 2008-02-11 05:07:59

Actually, you only need the loopback interface to get thunar to work properly.

so I often stop and restart the network and netcfg2

that should be enough to get your connection back, you do not need to reboot. one more thing, sorry if i misunderstood but are you using network and netcfg2 at the same time ? why don't you just use netcfg2 only ? depending on how you use both at the same time, confusion may happen...

ying · 2011-01-18 09:15:21

Same problem here but I am using networkmanager. Loopback is online but thunar still needs 30 sec to start. Not only thunar nautilus is also slow!?
