Fedora KDE GUI app takes too long to create snapshot (BTRFS) #319

Open stefanmm opened 4 months ago

stefanmm commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug When I try to create a BTRFS backup via the GUI app, it takes more than 30 seconds (freshly installed system). This happens only on the KDE version of Fedora, while on Workstation it takes like 2 seconds to create a backup. Same setup, the same hardware, and everything is the same except the DE (KDE vs Gnome). Creating snapshots using Terminal works ok, it takes 2 seconds as expected. This user has the same issue.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the Timeshift GUI app
  2. Configure it for the BTRFS backups
  3. Click "Create"
  4. The message "Creating snapshot..." will appear
  5. The process will stuck at the "Preparing..." step

Expected behavior When I click "Create" while BTRFS is configured, the snapshot should be created in 2-3 seconds - just like on Gnome version of Fedora.

I have this too. Problem with notify-send. If I click close notify (Creating Snapshot), snapshot will create after I close notify. This happend only with KDE.
