Package: libgtk-4-1
Version: 4.17.4+ds-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
When libgtk-4-1:amd64 is installed in version 4.17.4+ds-4, starting any
programs depending on this package takes unusually long (up to minutes),
sometimes causing the program to be unusable.
This is not a CPU load issue (as verified using top).
It is also independent of any gnome user settings, as it happens with a
freshly added user, and also using e.g. icewm.
I downgraded adwaita-icon-theme:amd64 from 48-beta-3 to 47.0-2 to
check if the issue is related to #1095301, but this did not help either.
The issue might however be related to gir1.2-gtk-4.0:amd64, which gets
installed with libgtk-4-1.
To track down the issue I tried starting various programs with strace.
'strace gnome-control-center' hangs at
eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 12
futex(0x55b3f83b5648, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
ppoll([{fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=24, tv_nsec=999978000}, NULL, 8
'strace audacity' hangs at
eventfd2(0, EFD_CLOEXEC|EFD_NONBLOCK) = 10
write(9, "\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0", 8) = 8
futex(0x561cff6605b0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1
ppoll([{fd=10, events=POLLIN}], 1, {tv_sec=24, tv_nsec=999982000}, NULL, 8
'strace libreoffice', hangs twice during startup, each time at this line:
...
recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
recvmsg(3, {msg_namelen=0}, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
read(4,
Deinstalling libreoffice-gtk3 resolves the issue, which helped me
track down the issue to being related to gtk, i.e. either libgtk-4-1 or
gir1.2-gtk-4.0.
I hope this helps,
tha nks!
