Slow startup and shutdown

[druisan]

Binary package hint: gcalctool

When I open programs, they open very fast. But gcalctool opens very slow, and close too.

Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Confirming. I think the delays are mostly due to GtkBuilder parsing the UI file and GTK+ creating all the widgets. I haven't investigates the close delay though

"opens very slow, and close too." seems to be a description of a crash, how slow is it, do you get any error on the command line?

[druisan (druisan)]

No, I don't get errors in commands line.

Thanks.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

how slow is it for you?

[druisan (druisan)]

It opens in 3 seconds, and it close in 5 seconds. It's very slow for a calculator, I have got 2.80 Ghz. But in all computers happens that.

I have got this problem too.
