Public bug reported: When starting font-manager it queries the installed font files. Until 16.04 this process has been fairly fast. Since 16.04 it takes up to 20 minutes, and looks like the app died: loading bar gets stuck and switching the window back from the background shows an empty window.
2 ways to reproduce: a) - launch font-manager expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files b) - once launched, install new fonts - press "reload now" when prompted expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: font-manager 0.5.7-4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.39-lowlatency 4.4.8 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-22-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sun May 8 17:59:17 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-21 (17 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Studio 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: font-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: font-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579536 Title: "Query of installed files" process on start-up takes abnormaly long (~20minutes) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/font-manager/+bug/1579536/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
