New COSMIC apps take several seconds to open #238

Closed nathansgithub closed 3 months ago

nathansgithub commented 3 months ago

I haven't seen anyone bring this up, so close this if this is a known issue. But the new COSMIC files, edit, store, and terminal programs all take around 8 seconds to load when I open a new window in a COSMIC session on Pop!_OS. The new settings and screenshot programs, and all other programs start up as quickly as expected.

I installed the cosmic-session using apt, and my system is up-to-date. I am running the latest Pop!_OS on a Lemp10 machine.

Sounds similar to https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-comp/issues/348. Do you have the nvidia driver installed by chance?

nathansgithub commented 3 months ago

It does sound similar. But I don't think I have any NVIDIA drivers installed, and I don't have any reason to. What's the best way to check to rule that out?

Drakulix commented 3 months ago

You might just have it, if you used the nvidia variant of the Pop!_OS ISO when installing.

Theoretically checking for the package should be enough, but lets be super paranoid. The component causing the slow down is nvidia's vulkan driver. So if you run ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d in a terminal, does the resulting list contain nvidia_icd.json?

nathansgithub commented 3 months ago

I do see that, and the NVIDIA drivers now. I guess I should run sudo apt purge ~nnvidia and report back?

Drakulix commented 3 months ago

yes, that should work. :)

That fixed it, and it's fast now! Thanks for your help.
