reinstalled early this week.
same HDD, wiped clean by Gparted and formatted GPT like always. Endeavor has the whole HDD.
Problem:
50% of apps launch awfully slow. We’re talking an uncomfortable 15-20 seconds or more. Eye of Gnome, Celluloid, onlyoffice, atril you name it.
the typically-slow flatpak apps launch faster than endeavor apps.
then again things like gedit and nemo launch immediately. (?)
my first Endeavour: no apps dragged their feet for 20 seconds.
my new Endeavour: half the native apps drag their feet for 15-20 seconds.
Troubleshooting:
for all these apps all terminal output was nada: no output to report.
how would I diagnose hardware? HDD is not new. I don’t trust SMART scans since they call everything near death all the time.
DBUS? X?
Is there a way to check broken packages in arch? is there a command for that?
What other things should I be considering for slow app launch times? Thank you.
pacman was setting xdg-desktop-portal-gnome as default selected for xdg-desktop-portal-impl before… so a lot users installing this beacuse they do not check the info output in terminal… now… its ddd (deepin) what is default… if you do not choose the one you need…
Using your command I did not get the options to change to the -gtk:
$
yay -S flatpak

pacman -Ss xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
extra/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.14.1-1 [installed]
A backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal using GTK
you are correct.
curious, I wondered if I had a conflict.
just ran pacman -Ss extra/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome for the hell of it: pacman -Ss xdg-desktop-portal
and found:
extra/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 44.2-1 (gnome) [installed]
A backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal for the GNOME desktop environment
conflicting packages I presume?
edit: I wonder which package gets moved to default? probably gnome
you can use -Qs to search locally installed packages also, will only sow something if installed
And only to make sure it is clear xdg-desktop-portal-gnome is only needed on GNOME Desktop.
it has xdg-desktop-portal-gtk as dependency so in case you do use GNOME both will be installed… and if you choose it to be installed on other Desktops both will be installed too… but on all other than Gnome you have to remove the package and keep xdg-desktop-portal-gtk for gtk Desktops (Budgie, Mate, Cinnamon, XFCE4) in addition there are other implementation packages for kde e.g. or deepin (dde) hyprland m e.t.c…
