Created attachment 183563 [details] terminal output when starting systemsettings SUMMARY systemsettings takes several minutes to start up every time I try to open the application STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start systemsettings (via .desktop file or directly in terminal) 2. Wait OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens for about 2 minutes, then the systemsettings application opens up. EXPECTED RESULT systemsettings opens up within a few seconds after starting as it used to do. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (Kernel 6.15.8-zen1-1-zen (64-bit)), packages up-to-date as of time of report KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I think it got introduced somewhere in 6.4 but I don't remember when exactly. Before that the application used to open in a few seconds or so.
Somehow today systemsettings started opening pretty much immediately again. I don't think there was any KDE update in the meantime as none of the version numbers changed. So either it was somehow caused by some other package that did update in the meantime or some other weird thing was going on that somehow fixed itself? Anyways, should I mark the bug as RESOLVED and reopen should it re-appear or should I leave it open for now?
> Using fontconfig file: "/home/dasug/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf" This would suggests something deep in the font code was causing a slowdown. If it stopped happening, it could be that you were experiencing a bug in 3rd-party font code and it got fixed. I'm glad the issue has stopped happening!
