XFCE Desktop launch is slow

Hi ,

I am using yocto environment to integrate the XFCE into Image. I have used the XFCE Version 4.12.4. I add the  script to execute "startx" command  while booting.

Below are following observation
  1. It takes around 4 minutes to XFCE Desktop to show up.
  2. If Mouse is moved around XFCE Desktop Shown Up Immediately.

We need XFCE Desktop to shown up immediately.

Re: XFCE Desktop launch is slow

Hello and welcome to the forum.

You don't provide many details, but a slow start is often solved by deleting cached sessions.

You can clear the sessions cache via Settings Manager > Session and Startup > Session tab > "Clear saved sessions", or with the command:

rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions

Possibly related to lack of entropy. See https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=12512.

Re: XFCE Desktop launch is slow

Thanks , Problem is lack of Entropy. Issue solved after installing "haveged".

But i had another problem, I enabled systemd in my build and wrote small starup service to invoke the "startx" or "startxfce4" . i found that logout is not working after that.

Any one tried invoke startx or startxfce4 at boot time ? when systemd is enabled
