Bug ID: 492804
Summary: [regression] Slow Panel Startup
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bugreport...@mailna.me
CC: niccolo.venera...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
***
I mark this as a regression. Previously in KDE 6 the panel was starting
instantaneously after sddm login. You typed password and the panel was
"immediately" there. It was like the star of the show- to show people how fast
KDE was. Now we have to wait (cogwheel plus after desktop load) before it
starts.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
0. Login to KDE.
1. See how long it takes the panel to appear. Compared to previous versions of
KDE 6, after sddm login we now we have splash-screen with cogwheel (wait...)
and then empty desktop, wait...and then wait... and then panel pops-up. It may
not be too obvious on a fast computer (...), but its definitely slower then
previous versions of KDE 6.
2. See your own logs
OBSERVED RESULT:
Slow KDE panel startup.
EXPECTED RESULT:
1. Change back to the previous sequence of KDE panel startup. The changes to
KDE startup sequence slow down the panel appearance/loading after login.
Maybe some changes to the network/dbus/"calling the mother-ship" sequence
startup have created this regression. Compare it to the previous versions of
KDE 6, before the change. PiTA, I know, but I didn't make up this bug and I
didn't change the startup sequence (for whatever reason). It affects me.
MY SETTINGS:
Settings: all default, except "classic task manager" and Layout: Desktop; not a
single icon on the panel either! (I use krunner). FYI: I read Arch wiki and
removed network ping/check at startup! So don't ask me this question.
