* If you are launching apps from a regular spinning harddisk then it might be spinning down to save power. And they take about 10 seconds to spin up again. To check that please look at the drive settings in the 'Disks' app.
* Please run 'top' in a Terminal window and check if any processes are using high CPU before or during the slow launch. * Please also reproduce a very slow app launch again and then after it launches run this command: journalctl -b0 > journal.txt and attach the resulting text file here. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893065 Title: Gnome applications launching very slow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1893065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
