Public bug reported: In a standard 16.04 desktop installation, gnome-software starts very early with the session, taking quite some amount of CPU and I/O, thus slowing down session startup:
http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/bootchart-xenial-qemu.svg There should be no reason at all to start it that early. Checking for updates can be delayed for a few minutes, or preferably the check for available updates should be made much cheaper by checking whether the existing apt cron job/update-motd stamps for "updates available" exists. ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bootspeed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592678 Title: gnome-software starts very early in the session, slowing down boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1592678/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
