Huge slowness #3

Open Limones-07 opened 1 year ago

Limones-07 commented 1 year ago

I've been using sea-greeter for some time, and it works flawlessly, congrats. :) But it is slow as hell to load up on boot. It boots and I have to wait like, 10 to 20 seconds to the theme finally pop up, and it's kind of annoying. Do you have any clue of what is causing this? (If you could upload this greeter to the AUR it would be insane, would be so much easier to update lol.)

JezerM commented 1 year ago

Hmm, I think it could be either LightDM being slow at startup (I don't think so), or perhaps other services that slow down or delay the startup of LightDM. I've run this greeter on a pretty low powered PC (a 2014 Intel Celeron with integrated graphics), and 10 seconds is the most it takes to start the theme in VoidLinux when LightDM service is started.

Also, I have some questions: these 10 to 20 seconds is the total time from boot to sea-greeter? Or is it from when Linux would prompt you to login in TTY (or when the LightDM service is initiated) until sea-greeter? Does another LightDM greeter like lightdm-gtk-greeter or web-greeter display faster than sea-greeter?

About the AUR, it could be considered when I fix the remaining bugs and completed the features~

When Linux would prompt me to login in TTY. When it should happen, we count 28 seconds (time the greeter took to show up on the last boot I did) and the greeter appears. I tested lightdm-gtk-greeter, and it runs as fast as it should.

JezerM commented 1 year ago

Ok, I will look into that. Also, can you provide the sea-greeter's log at /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log?

I meant, actually, to show sea-greeter's log. Set your session-greeter as sea-greeter, restart the LightDM service, wait until sea-greeter is presented, log in, and provide the log at /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log

Hmm, the gap occurs between the Configuration loading and the Connection to LightDM. I don't know what it could be right now, but I will look into it soon~

JezerM commented 1 year ago

Hello! If you're still interested in this issue, I'd like to ask you to do provide further info with the following steps:

  1. Edit the /etc/lightdm/Xgreeter file:
    • Change exec $@ to G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all exec $@ 1>&2
  2. Restart the lightdm service with sea-greeter as the default greeter.
  3. Wait until sea-greeter shows.
  4. Provide the log at /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log.

With these steps, you configured to display all the GLIB debug messages, so I could trace where the slowness may occur.

Also, sorry for the late response. I've been busy with college assignments xd

Limones-07 commented 1 year ago

Sup! I really understand you, many college/school assignments sucks xD.

Thanks!

It strikes me that this seems to be, perhaps, a Gtk or LightDM bug regarding to portals, as your log describes in Failed to get an inhibit portal proxy, the time limit was reached:

(sea-greeter:13972): Gtk-DEBUG: 15:25:13.843: Connecting to session manager

I'll look about it, though it could be that a Gtk portal is not installed; however, I'm not sure why you would need a Portal to connect to the Display Manager.

JezerM commented 1 year ago

After some research, I found this Github issue: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/274.

I couldn't find any solution, neither to replicate it in my own environment; I was able to get some similar errors like Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop: Permission denied or Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop: No such file or directory, but I couldn't provoke a Timeout was reached (O tempo limite foi alcançado) error.

However, you could try to do a forced reinstall of the xdg-desktop-portal package.

Limones-07 commented 1 year ago

Closed by mistake, sorry xD

Limones-07 commented 1 year ago

I'm not home right now, I'll try reinstalling it later.

Another thing, about 1 week ago I installed Bedrock Linux over my Arch install, but it didn't change anything.

lakejason0 commented 1 year ago

I ran into the same problem, and reinstalling xdg-desktop-portal on Arch Linux didn't seem to do anything. I'm using KDE Plasma. Installing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk won't work. Anyway, litarvan kinda works in web-greeter, but it doesn't save my setting…

LuNeder commented 1 year ago

Uninstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

AkechiShiro commented 1 year ago

@LuNeder your answer should be documented, it worked all fine for me and fixed any slowness, I recently encountered using swappy.

LuNeder commented 1 year ago

Yeah, portal gnome was causing mad slowness to open many apps for me too so when I discovered it was the cause I decided to tell everyone that was having the same problem haha

BobbyBabes commented 9 months ago

I've been using sea-greeter for some time, and it works flawlessly, congrats. :) But it is slow as hell to load up on boot. It boots and I have to wait like, 10 to 20 seconds to the theme finally pop up, and it's kind of annoying. Do you have any clue of what is causing this? (If you could upload this greeter to the AUR it would be insane, would be so much easier to update lol.)

Is this still an issue?
