I am using a Cubieboard2 with the current image: Fedora-Xfce-armhfp-29-20181002.n.0-sda
I connect ethernet, serial TTY/USB console, HDMI monitor, kybd/mouse. The OS is on a HD and only uboot is on the uSD card.
The firstboot proceeds normally and then I have to really wait for the Initial Setup GUI to fully appear. The mouse is VERY jumpy. I manage to click on root password and the Initial screen slowly goes up as a window shade, revealing the root password dialog. Very jumpy and slow, I manage to set the root password and click done.
The screen comes down back to Initial and I manage to click on setting up the user. Very slow raising of the window shade and very slow response in the dialog boxes for setting up the user. Click done then finish on the Initial setup screen. Slowly get to the login screen and then very slow giving me the default workstation question then getting into the session. dnfdragora-updater seems to run forever. I go into session startup settings and turn this off. I wish this was the default for arm...
Everything in the DE is very slow. I finally get vncserver working, and switch to a vnc client console and that is peppy.
So I wondered... I grabbed another drive and build the F28-Xfce released image and put its uboot on another uSD card. This time Initial Setup had decent performance. The window screen went up much smoother. Mouse was not jumpy. Dialog entry was decent. Got into the DE smoothly. dnfdragora did not take forever to do its initial run.
So something really wrong, performance-wise with the F29-beta-Xfce. That SELinux patch we got a couple weeks ago helped a little.
One difference I note is F28 has a swap partition, F29 does not. Now during the initial stuff, no swap was used. Now I see 29KB of swap used with 86KB memory free.
This is a real problem. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
