First appearance of application menu takes about ten seconds

bernd_b · 2019-09-07 10:15:50

After starting a new session after booting the pc, the appearance of the menu entries takes up to ten seconds after I click on the applications menu button for the for the first time.

After that, with every further click on the applications menu button the menu appears without any delay.

I used this

xfce4-panel -q
strace xfce4-panel 2>&1 | tee ~/xfce4-panel.log

to track the event, maybe someone can confirm that this is a normal behaviour or see something suspicious?

The xfce4-panel.log file can be found here.

On first start, the applications menu will read, process and cache all menu entries. If you have an older computer or alot of menu entries, it may take some time. I'm not sure of your computer's capacity but you sure do have a lot of stuff installed (Xfce, kde, a ton of Windows apps through wine).

Can you try creating a second test account on your computer, logging in there to see if the same issue exists? (this will help to see if it is the wine programs that are causing the delay).

Also, can you try running xfce4-panel in debug mode and posting back the output:

xfce4-panel -q && PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

Oh, I see, there are a lot of lines with:

home/bernd_b/.local/share/applications/wine

which reflect for how many years this system is running. Some weeks ago, I had this wine in my menu already under suspicion and I think I remember having me deleted it with menulibre, actually there is no menu entry "wine" with tons of programs any more in my applications menu. As you pointed out, they seem to be still being parsed.

So is it save to clean up the given directory manually and try a fresh start?

As a test first, create a second user account and log in there (it won't have all of these extra entries). This will help you to determine where the issue resides.

Did several reboots:
Time for the menu entries toappear after boot for the first time:

main user (me):10 seconds
testuser: 5 seconds

ToZ · 2019-09-07 15:33:52

5 seconds is still a long time.

Which distro and which version of Xfce are you running?
Which display manager are you using?

Also, on first boot, don't click the applications menu, but rather open a terminal window and run the following:

xfce4-panel -q && PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

...then click on the applications menu. Post back the output.

I use xfce4 4.14 on archlinux.

The display manager is sddm.

Nothing there. Lets see if its an issue from the number of menu entries. If you have a ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu file, back it up:

cp ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu.BAK

...and create a new ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu file with the following basic content:

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
  "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">

<Menu>
    <Name>Xfce</Name>

    <DefaultAppDirs/>
    <DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
    <DefaultMergeDirs/>

    <Include>
        <Category>X-Xfce-Toplevel</Category>
    </Include>

    <Layout>
        <Filename>exo-terminal-emulator.desktop</Filename>
        <Filename>exo-file-manager.desktop</Filename>
        <Filename>exo-mail-reader.desktop</Filename>
        <Filename>exo-web-browser.desktop</Filename>
        <Separator/>
        <Filename>xfce4-about.desktop</Filename>
        <Filename>xfce4-session-logout.desktop</Filename>
    </Layout>

</Menu>

See if that results in a menu that pops up quicker.

Note: to return to your previous menu, just restore ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu.BAK.

Edit: there is an existing bug report about this issue.

With this modification, the menu appears at once. But it consists of only the four entries plus the "About Xfce" and "Log Out" - I guess exactly what it described in the given file.

ToZ · 2019-09-08 09:50:38

Then its taking that long because it's processing your many menu entries. What is your computer like (make/model/cpu/memory)? Is it an older/slower computer?

bernd_b · 2019-09-08 10:10:18

I don't think so, I've updated some month ago to an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G and insane 16 GB RAM.
The bottleneck could be the old fashioned SATA 2GB Hard Disk which I kept.

Maybe it's time to do further cleanup, I run this installation for many years now. But the old wine entries already saved me 5 from 10 seconds, that's a good start.

Same here. But legacy PC(c2d q6600 cpu) and many apps. BUT Whisker menu open almost instantly. Why so?

Interesting that you are seeing whiskermenu start without the delay. Anyways, the issue has been fixed in garcon 4.17.0.

deepforest · 2022-11-20 16:29:32

Thanks for reply!

Arch and Devuan here. I will see what version of garcon they have and report.

It will be officially released with Xfce 4.18 towards the end of December. For Arch, there is a garcon-devel package that will include the fix in the AUR.

deepforest · 2022-11-21 01:46:36

Thank you! I can try garcon-devel via AUR without broke anything(there will not be broken dependencies)? Can i roll back(simply remove garcon-devel via aur) to default garcon before 4.18 release?

ToZ · 2022-11-21 02:11:07

It doesn't appear to have any external new dependencies, so it can be installed and uninstalled pretty easily.
