[SOLVED] Nautilus, Document viewer and other apps slow to start

blusof · 2023-06-21 23:48:06

Hello,
A couple weeks now a lot of apps including nautilus, firefox and document viewer have become really slow to launch (about 30-40 seconds instead of 1-2 that was before). I've seen that this might be related to the ~/.xinitrc file but that seems to be as it should be. I've tried to clean possible bugs , tried systemctl --failed (0 loaded units listed) and also journalctl -p 3 -b which gives me a list of errors but I'm not sure how to go about correcting those. I'm pretty new to arch and I feel a bit lost.
I would appreciate any help!

Post the xinitrc, the output of "loginctl session-status" and "pacman -Qs portal" and in very doubt your system journal

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

The xinitrc:

 userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

exec i3

You're aware that "udiskie &" won't be executed?

local/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

Get rid of that, the board is full of threads about xdg-desktop-portal-gnome being systematically broken outside gnome sessions since version 44

Yes I haven't set it up properly yet.
That seems to work, thanks!
