Thunar running slow on startup

rmcellig · 2013-12-28 21:31:50

For some reason, Thunar is taking about 8-12 seconds to open a file window. Any ideas why? I tried Rox-filer and it is wicked fast. Almost instantaneous.

I'm using #! 11 64bit with Thunar 1.2.3. Any advice on what I should do. Just started happening recently. If I want to try another file manager like spacefm or rox-filer do I just add it to the autostart file and comment out Thunar?

Is it just the first time, then OK afterwards (in which case it is probably the gvfs network search issue), or is it every time you try to open something?

It seems to be every time. I'm runnig Rox-filer at the moment because it is so fast!!, until I can resolve the Thunar issue.

Just ran Thunar from the terminal and it is instantaneous. This is after I did a logout/login so I'm not sure what is going on.

Is there anything to see if you start thunar in a terminal?

Might be hanging up trying to access a volume like a network share or sshfs mount that is unavailable, or possible starting up gvfs daemons. Do you have gvfs installed? There are a variety of workarounds depending on exactly what the issue is, but in general Thunar v1.6 avoids these problems, or at least deals with them much faster.

I still get the delay even after running thunar from the terminal. Nothing shows up in the terminal to indicate a problem.

This is what my network.mount file looks like:

[Mount]
Type=network
Exec=/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-network
AutoMount=false
