[SOLVED] Applications Launching Slow in Sway

Hello,

I have a problem with Sway. In Gnome, all the apps launch fast, but in Sway, at first launch everything takes about 30 seconds to launch - even the file manager.

I have realized it is related to my config files. When I delete sway config, everything launches fast.
I am not sure if it is related but I am getting this error when I launch sway.

[wlr] [types/wlr_drm_lease_v1.c:715] No DRM backend supplied, failed to create wlr_drm_lease_v1_manager

I would appreciate if you could find the problem.

Here is my sway config file.

# Default config for sway
#
# Copy this to ~/.config/sway/config and edit it to your liking.
#
# Read `man 5 sway` for a complete reference.

#For Mod key definitions run "xmodmap" on terminal.

### My Configuration 
##Set screen resolution
output * resolution --custom 2560x1440 
##The End

##Set Sway font size
font pango: SourceCodePro Medium 10 
##The End

##Set keyboard layout
input * {
	#Set a single layout "tr" or "us"
	#xkb_layout "tr"
    #xkb_layout "us"
	
	#Set multiple layouts and toggle between them. US-Q and TR-Q keyboard layouts
	xkb_layout us,tr
	xkb_options grp:win_space_toggle
	
	#Set numlock enabled
	xkb_numlock enable
}
##The End


##Volume Control
###If you use Pavucontrol (for Pulse Audio or Pipewire), enable these.
#
# If the volume of your current output device is not increased, make sure your fallback output device is set correctly. 
# pavucontrol->Output Devices->Set as fallback(tick sign)
# These commands changes the volume of set fallback device.
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5%
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5%
###If you use pw-volume(for Pipewire), enable these.
#bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec "pw-volume change +2.5%; pkill -RTMIN+8 waybar"
#bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec "pw-volume change -2.5%; pkill -RTMIN+8 waybar"
#bindsym XF86AudioMute exec "pw-volume mute toggle; pkill -RTMIN+8 waybar"
#The End

##Lock screen
#Mod1 is Alt key.
bindsym Mod1+l exec swaylock -c 000000
##The End

##Polkit to access other drives.
exec /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
##

##Screenshot
###Entire Screen
bindsym Print exec grim $(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)/$(date +'Screenshot_%Y%m%d%H%M%S.png')
###Section
bindsym Shift+Print exec grim -g "$(slurp)" $(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)/$(date +'Screenshot_%Y%m%d%H%M%S.png')
###Section to Clipboard
bindsym Shift+Ctrl+Print exec grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy
###Active Window - NOT WORKING
bindsym Alt+Print exec grim -g "$(swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -r '.. | select(.focused?) | .rect | "\(.x),\(.y) \(.width)x\(.height)"')" $(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)/$(date +'Screenshot_%Y%m%d%H%M%S.png')
###Active Window to Clipboard - NOT WORKING
bindsym Alt+Ctrl+Print exec grim -g "$(swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -r '.. | select(.focused?) | .rect | "\(.x),\(.y) \(.width)x\(.height)"')" - | wl-copy
##The End
### The End of My Configuration

### Variables
#
# Logo key. Use Mod1 for Alt.
set $mod Mod4
# Home row direction keys, like vim
set $left h
set $down j
set $up k
set $right l
# Your preferred terminal emulator
set $term alacritty
# Your preferred application launcher
# Note: pass the final command to swaymsg so that the resulting window can be opened
# on the original workspace that the command was run on.
set $menu wofi --show run

### Output configuration
#
# Default wallpaper (more resolutions are available in /usr/share/backgrounds/sway/)
output * bg ~/Pictures/Background.png fit
#
# Example configuration:
#
#   output HDMI-A-1 resolution 1920x1080 position 1920,0
#
# You can get the names of your outputs by running: swaymsg -t get_outputs

### Idle configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
exec swayidle -w \
         timeout 270 'swaylock -f -c 000000' \
         timeout 300 'swaymsg "output * dpms off"' resume 'swaymsg "output * dpms on"' \
         before-sleep 'swaylock -f -c 000000'
#
# This will lock your screen after 270 seconds of inactivity, then turn off
# your displays after another 30 seconds, and turn your screens back on when
# resumed. It will also lock your screen before your computer goes to sleep.

### Input configuration
#
# Example configuration:
#
#   input "2:14:SynPS/2_Synaptics_TouchPad" {
#       dwt enabled
#       tap enabled
#       natural_scroll enabled
#       middle_emulation enabled
#   }
#
# You can get the names of your inputs by running: swaymsg -t get_inputs
# Read `man 5 sway-input` for more information about this section.

### Key bindings
#
# Basics:
#
    # Start a terminal
    bindsym $mod+Return exec $term

    # Kill focused window
    bindsym $mod+Shift+q kill

    # Start your launcher
    bindsym $mod+d exec $menu

    # Drag floating windows by holding down $mod and left mouse button.
    # Resize them with right mouse button + $mod.
    # Despite the name, also works for non-floating windows.
    # Change normal to inverse to use left mouse button for resizing and right
    # mouse button for dragging.
    floating_modifier $mod normal

    # Reload the configuration file
    bindsym $mod+Shift+c reload

    # Exit sway (logs you out of your Wayland session)
    bindsym $mod+Shift+e exec swaynag -t warning -m 'You pressed the exit shortcut. Do you really want to exit sway? This will end your Wayland session.' -B 'Yes, exit sway' 'swaymsg exit'

Re: [SOLVED] Applications Launching Slow in Sway

As mentioned, get rid of xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (you already have other implementations)
It's all over the forum for causing this (though supposingly w/ a fix on the road)

Re: [SOLVED] Applications Launching Slow in Sway

The issue is fixed with xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 44.2-1 in Testing. No idea why it hasn't been pushed to Stable yet.

Re: [SOLVED] Applications Launching Slow in Sway

Thanks seth,

You are awesome. I have deleted xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package, and it worked.

I haven't use my pc for a while, but I have a feeling it happened after I installed OBS Studio.

Thanks to you. I dig into XDG Desktop Portal.

For non-pros like me who is having similar issue and want to learn more about XDG Desktop Portal, refer to Arch Linux Forums
