Thunar/Nautilus needs 30 sec to startup!

ying · 2011-01-18 09:33:33

Nautilus didn't work for me for a long time. It needet over 30 sec to startup. Now on the Thunar update(supporting Network searching / More Mount Options) it does take exactly the same long time to startup. Loopback is up and dbus-launch is also running. I am using Openbox with hal and gamin on a x86_64 system. Does anybody know how to fix that problem?

Have you tried running them from the console and have a look at the output?

wonder · 2011-01-18 10:55:37

do you happen to have locale different than en_US?

I have the same issue, but not as bad as you.

The new Thunar takes a long time to start, but only the first time. I'm guessing that it's searching the network, which takes some time.

Try without gvfs installed and see if it starts faster.

@pogeymanz: k I will try it out.
@wonder & Awebb: There is no error output and I am using the de_DE locale.

Edit: @pogeymanz you're right. gvfs is the problem. But I need gvfs. Is there a way to let it start early or any other way to speed it up?

@ying try using en_US locale and see if it works. i'm trying to see if you guys hit in the same bug: FS#19638

ying · 2011-01-18 12:04:14

No @wonder. See my edit. It is gvfs.

@ying: I don't know of any way to make it faster, sorry. I've just been dealing with it. Like I said, it only happens the first time I launch it, and it's not nearly 30 seconds for me.

Hmm same here. It is only taking a very long time if I started my wm new. Then it is fine. But waiting the first time is annoying.

Edit: I solved it. I forgot to disable the smbnetfs daemon in rc.conf. Now Thunar is starting in 2-3 sec. That's k for me. Thx a lot guys.

That seems to work for me as well.

Not to steal the thread or anything, but if I don't have smbnetfs (or samba) installed but still experience a long cold start with thunar (since the new version came out), what could be the problem?

legolas558 · 2011-02-20 21:55:54

IT IS gvfs: I use xfce4 and since 4.8 it has become unusable with gvfs.

It was simply not light enough for Xfce, bad choice from them to not support a more lightweight udev approach out of the box

Larsson · 2011-02-21 01:00:15

Well the solution for many others seem to have been to blacklist smbnetfs, so there seem to be a way around the problem, even though it might be gvfs fault at the base.
@Ying and @GooglesGuy, do you experience the problem with the cold start if you don't have samba installed? (or perhaps gvfs-smb).

Ultraman · 2011-02-21 19:59:47

I "solved" my problem with Thunar by starting it daemonized when I start X.
I switched from Openbox to XFCE recently, so I simply added Thunar (/usr/bin/thunar --daemon) to my Autostart list.
Putting it in Openbox autostart.sh would probably have the same effect.

gnomeye · 2011-08-30 08:47:58

for me it's the same thing. Cold starting thunar takes too long for me. 2nd Start is way faster. Tonight I will try removing gvfs.

EDIT:

gvfs searching the network is the problem.

there is already a bug opened
