Extremely long startup times #8

Closed alerque closed 1 year ago

alerque commented 1 year ago

I haven't used many Tauri apps, but I think something is wrong at startup in my builds (for Arch Linux). I'm on a pretty beefy machine (e.g. after a cold boot Firefox starts up 6 windows and 200+ tabs from a saved session) in less than a second, maybe 600ms. Starting up typstudio by contrast takes 10-20 seconds. That's long enough to assume it crashed and start another one, then give up and open a terminal and launch another instance looking for error messages and eventually 3 instances pop up with no apparent errors.

Is there some discovery/scan/timeout something going on that might be hanging? Or some other known issue at startup?

There should not be any task running on startup. The startup procedure is standard to Tauri. The application (AppImage build) takes < 3s to start for me on Fedora 37 (Workstation Edition). My laptop is equipped with Ryzen 7 4700U.

This sounds weird, I'll look into it. If you can provide system details, that would be nice.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor w/ 64G RAM and Radeon RX 5500, running Wayland via Hyprland.

The system is not underpowered, so something else is wrong. I wonder, are you using Xorg or Wayland? Fedora defaults to Wayland now for most DEs if I recall.

I'm running Hyprland on Wayland as well.

This may not be related to typstudio or tauri. I found another app unrelated to either of the above acting the same way that had previously been working fine. I'm going to close this until I can confirm it is actually isolated to this app and not some weird system glitch.

In case anybody else comes across this, the underlying issue here turned out to be this bug in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome. This app just happened to be the first time I came across it, but it kept cropping up in more and more apps and systems. My workaround (since I am using Hyprland anyway and don't care if I break Gnome) was to remove it and only keep the hyprland portal
