[Solved] i3 slow to start programs

Gnome terminal takes ages to load, I am convict this is not supposed to happen lol.

Anybody experienced something similar?

Edit: the same behavior with gedit and firefox too. take about 30 seconds to launch.
I have no idea what might be.


Thanks @jaybarina

Maybe it’s this bug: bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285590

Only under i3? My Ubuntu box has something slowing bash startup, probably in my profile but I haven’t dug into it yet 😅

Yes, only with i3. But I realized it is not only gnome-terminal but every program. Just tested with gedit and firefox. it takes about 30 seconds to launch.

Weird, are you launching them with an i3 menu? Is it faster to start programs from an already running terminal?

I was using the dmenu ($mod+d)

Opening from an already running terminal also is slow. When I have one instance of the program already running all other instances opens super fast (aka expected behavior).

The standard DE of my distro is gnome, IDK if this should interfere.
