Few issues with XFCE

celiopy

Hi, I would like to share a few issues that I've faced by installing XFCE-Beta iso.

The first boot, even on live, takes a while to load xfdesktop. I don't really know the reason, but after saving a session (just by logging out), it loaded faster next login. If I don't save any session, it will keep taking a long time to load in subsequent logins. Probably because nothing is on .cache/sessions?

Next thing is that xfce4-panel-profiles don't work, it can't load module psutils, which can be installed by the package python-psutil.

I don't really know if someone else already share those.
Anyway, would like to share it here.

Thanks for the info! I created a PR to fix this here

Boot the system from an unsaved session. Then check which processes take a long time to load:

systemd-analyze
systemd-analyze blame
systemd-analyze critical-chain

Read more about systemd-analyze on the internet if you want.

What exactly does the terminal return when you type xfce4-panel-profiles?
Check: eopkg check python-psutil xfce4-panel-profiles and
sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall

pomon About running xfce4-panel-profiles in terminal it says that it can't find the module psutil, installing the package python-psutil fixes it. That's what I meant in the OP. The issue lies in that doesn't came installed with a clean install.

About the systemd-analyze, will run it and post the result here later on, I can't right now.
