so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check ‘page faults’ and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it’s still running like a slug. once an application is open, it’s fine. but beforehand? it takes 20 seconds to open vlc. loading a new .mp3 audio for vlc takes maybe 10 or so. it started before the update when i totallt ran our of stroage so i assume it’s that. im confused as to if it’s some process stealing resources.
is that the syncthing thing i have cause that boots on startup
Portal basically is an interface/backend for flatpaks to interface with toolkits & DEs. If you don’t use flatpak, xdg-desktop-portal and associated backends should be removable. Even if you do, try removing the gtk and gnome backends w/apt. Hopefully it won’t try to remove a ton of stuff due to dependencies. Then, reboot and see if the slow loading problem goes away. If it does, you can try re-adding one or the other and see if it comes back.
Does logging in take forever as well?
Also after some cursory research, some people have had problems with portal on Mint after updates as well, just like on Arch. So… definitely try it.
ngl youre my only hope or i have to re-install linux lol talk soon lmfao!!
wait hold on this is very likely holy shit, check my most recent post. the issue i have only impacts flatpaks. hold on what command do i run exactly and how dangerous is this. also tysm
this is a comment on my new post: it took 30 seconds but this got outputted and then the file ran: dave@dog: ~$ flatpak run org.x.Warpinator Gtx-Message: 14:29:03.389: Failed to load module “xapp-gtk3-module” Using landlock for incoming file isolation
