Very Slow Software Startup

[Duckeenie]

First of all it only seems right that I begin by saying thanks for what appears to be a wonderful distro so far, please keep up the good work.

I do however have the following problem that I hope somebody can help with:

When I run "Install additional software" and "NTFS configuration tool" both take around 3-5 minutes before they are visible and ready to use, during the wait the system is also very unresponsive. All the other programs I've tried seem to work perfectly.

Any ideas? Anything I can do to troubleshoot further?

PS: I just noticed it exhibits the same behavior when login out, in fact it consistently takes 2:37 secs. Shutting down from the terminal works fine.

First thing that shoots out at me

Code:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Bonaire XT [Radeon HD 7790/8770 / R9 260 OEM]

Code:

302817  5 ttm,drm_kms_helper,radeon

I am guessing you are using the open source radeon driver. To be sure.

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga

Mine as a example

Code:

]$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:27ae] (rev 03)
    Subsystem: Elitegroup Computer Systems Device [1019:9956]
    Kernel driver in use: i915

Code:

top

in terminal will also give you a idea of what is being resource hogs on your system.

Hello rokytnji, Thanks for you for your help.

I think you're on the right track. I am using the open source driver for my video card. I ran top as you suggested and it seems that Xorg is using 100% CPU.

Where do we go from here?

Taking cues from rokytnji I decided to just install the propritary driver and it solved my problem.

Sorry, I had to step out for a bit. I run my own motorcycle shop.

Glad you got it sorted.
