After some updates and testing various widgets i have noticed that my desktop is loading ~ 20 seconds longer (screen after sddm) - progress bar reaches 100% and than waits mention time. To track down the issue i have removed whole .config folder. It helped but than i go further and located 'faulty' file. It was: `./config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc`. And again going deeper i faound the problem inside following configuration (removing it solved the loading time problem): [Containments][114] activityId=795e1540-a8a7-486f-a0f4-f5c2ef8f9e0c formfactor=0 immutability=1 lastScreen=1 location=0 plugin=org.kde.desktopcontainment wallpaperplugin=org.kde.image And related configuration to this path: [Containments][114] in this file is also: [Containments][114][Applets][112] immutability=1 plugin=org.kde.plasma.analogclock [Containments][114][Applets][112][Configuration][ConfigDialog] DialogHeight=660 DialogWidth=880 [Containments][114][ConfigDialog] DialogHeight=660 DialogWidth=880 [Containments][114][General] ItemsGeometries=Applet-112:1600,816,224,192,0; ToolBoxButtonState=topright ToolBoxButtonX=1883 pressToMove=false showToolbox=false [Containments][114][Wallpaper][org.kde.image][General] FillMode=2 Image=file:///home/soee/ownCloud/Zdjęcia/Tapety/1920x1080 (2).png height=1080 width=1920 The only wrong thing i noticed here (from my point of view) is path to not existing image: Image=file:///home/soee/ownCloud/Zdjęcia/Tapety/1920x1080 (2).png - i have removed whole ownCloud dir in my home folder some time ago (btw. shouldn't such invalid images path be handled/removed by Plasma automatically?). But removing this [Containments][114][Wallpaper][org.kde.image][General] part from configuration didn't solve the loading time problem so some other part of pasted configuration causes it. We have some ToolBox related configuration here - i don't know itf it is important but the ToolBox (old cashew) i have disabled by default. Reproducible: Always
Removing ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc helped (no ~20s wait after entering password).
I have switched GPU profile from nvidia to intel and this happend again. After i removed file mentioned in my first comment, bootking time is super fast again.
>After some updates and testing various widgets i have noticed that my desktop is loading ~ 20 seconds longer (screen after sddm) - progress bar reaches 100% and than waits mention time. does it affect the time when running: - kquitapp5 plasmashell - plasmashell ?
First of all, after removing .kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc, no new file with that name was created. Secondly, copying it back, it did not affect loading time (it is short)
Aaand it's back. kquitapp5 plasmashell & plasmashell runs really fast. It is time to strace some apps, I suppose.
When the progress bar is 100%, I hit ctrl+alt+esc (kill app shortcut), the login manager closes, and there's ready desktop undernath. The only thing I've seen, that the network is not ready yet (connecting to wifi)
Can you paste the output of the following command? cat .xsession-errors | grep "startup completed" I think this bug is related to this change in plasma-framework: commit 309c64f5e90453c5253baf19e6c01759e8aa6f83 Author: Aleix Pol <aleixpol@kde.org> Date: Wed Mar 16 12:33:10 2016 +0100 Don't import an nonexistent layout It should have a containment at least REVIEW: 127345 https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/127345/
I ran that command on a system of mine that has the problem and it just says: Plasma Shell startup completed Plasma Shell startup completed
