Evolution takes a long time to start with tpm2-pkcs11 installed

[traxtopel]

When I install tpm2-pkcs11 on Fedora 37 and start the Evolution application installed from RPM, I experience a delay of about 1 minute before the application fully starts up. Please see the warnings/errors below.

To reproduce the issue: Install tpm2-pkcs11 on Fedora 37 Install the Evolution RPM Start Evolution and note the startup time The delay of about 1 minute is observed.

A possible workaround for this issue is to use the flatpak version of Evolution, which does not exhibit this slow startup time problem.

If you have any ideas or hints on how to work around this issue, please let me know. The tpm2-abrmd is running and tpm2_pcrread shows no errors.

Workaround.

cat << EOF > ~/.config/pkcs11/modules/tpm2_pkcs11.module module: libtpm2_pkcs11.so disable-in: firefox thunderbird chrome msedge evolution EOF

This allows evolution and other applications to start normally.
