Found it after modifying the web search a little. I had to start openbox with:
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox --startup $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart The dbus-launch --exit-with-session apparently starts some service that gnome apps now insist on. This apparently works with other window managers: it was an i3 user who found it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852016 Title: Applications delayed on launch Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, i am unsure if this is really a problem with dbus but my first research showed it could be related to dbus. 1.) No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10 Codename: eoan Ubuntu Budgie on T460 with 256GB SSD and 16GB RAM 2.) dbus: Installed: 1.12.14-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.12.14-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.12.14-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.) I've expected just "normal" loading applications 4.) Some applications are delayed at startup. The application will take around 30s to launch, but afterwards it just runs fine. Affected application I found so far are KeepassXC, Filezilla and OnlyOffice Desktop-Editor. From strace I saw this applications are stopping (for about 20-30s) at this point: connect(12, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/user/1000/bus"}, 110) = 0 getpid() = 8165 geteuid() = 1000 getegid() = 1000 getpid() = 8165 geteuid() = 1000 getegid() = 1000 sendmsg(12, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="\0", iov_len=1}], msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=28, cmsg_level=SOL_SOCKET, cmsg_type=SCM_CREDENTIALS, cmsg_data={pid=8165, uid=1000, gid=1000}}], msg_controllen=32, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 1 sendto(12, "AUTH\r\n", 6, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 6 recvfrom(12, "REJECTED EXTERNAL\r\n", 4096, 0, NULL, NULL) = 19 sendto(12, "AUTH EXTERNAL 31303030\r\n", 24, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 24 recvfrom(12, "OK 7f079149c4e5e774135107445dc85"..., 4096, 0, NULL, NULL) = 37 sendto(12, "NEGOTIATE_UNIX_FD\r\n", 19, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 19 recvfrom(12, "AGREE_UNIX_FD\r\n", 4096, 0, NULL, NULL) = 15 sendto(12, "BEGIN\r\n", 7, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 7 write(15, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 14 write(14, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 write(15, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8 poll([{fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=14, revents=POLLIN}]) read(14, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 16) = 8 poll([{fd=14, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000 During my first research I found this following to topics related to the issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1184774/some-applications-on-ubuntu-19-10-very-slow-to-start This Stackoverflow topic links to the archlinux forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=230036 I can confirm that running the delayed applications with "dbus-launch --exit-with-session application" or by running it as root they are all starting without any delay.
