+--- Thread: Slow to load desktop from login screen (/showthread.php?tid=24578)
RE: Slow to load desktop from login screen - RealPTR - 23rd August 2017
Code:
cd /usr/share/kservicetypes5/
sudo ln -s kwinscript.desktop kwin-script.desktop
sudo ln -s kwineffect.desktop kwin-effect.desktopThat speed up the process a bit... a tiny bit... :-)
That what I thought happened. My system accumulated residue stuff which is stuck in the settings.

Thanks for looking into this, leszek. If there was an improvement it wasn't a very big one, unfortunately.

Yeah it is hard to solve this problem if you only have a log and can't reproduce the issue yourself.
One thing that is clear to me if the delay is always 30-60 seconds it is most probably a dbus timeout it waits for.You could try disabling stuff that uses this like the at_spi service (text to speech support). Or remove that package completely if you don't need this.

Could you elaborate a bit? Where to find these et_spi things?
RE: Slow to load desktop from login screen - leszek - 28th August 2017
You can find it in the packagemanager and in /etc/xdg/autostart.
The easiest would be removing the package and see if it helps.

I did it. Removed at-spi2-core and qt-at-spi using Synaptic and the entry in /etc/xdg/autostart regarding at-spi. No effect. BTW, Nemiver (a graphical interface for C/C++ debugging) goes down when one removes at-spi2-core.

I also removed it but there was no improvement, unfortunately.

Hi, that bug is causing the long delay after login: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382444
Seems we'll have to wait for knotifications 5.38.0 to get this fixed.
As a workaround I have commented out the Exec line in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service. Now I can login without any delay, but I don't know if this file change may have some negative side effects.
RE: Slow to load desktop from login screen - leszek - 13th September 2017
Fantastic news. Lets hope this fixes it for good. (the 5.38 fix I mean)
The dbus service comment out might have some side effects when it comes to the notifications on your system. But I am not 100% sure.

Thanks! I can confirm it did the job also for me. My desktop loads much faster now after login. If I'll notice any side effects I'll let you guys know.
