[Touch-packages] [Bug 919801] Re: Unity dash file search is extremely slow
At last, a new Ubuntu release seems to have made a difference. With Xenial, I'm down to a couple of seconds or less populating the Dash first time on first login. I'm not sure if it's down to the new release since I already had a startup command to preload selected scopes according to Bruno Nova's suggestion under bug #1061852, and I guess the startup job may hve survuved the upgrade: /usr/bin/unity-scope-loader applications/applications.scope applications/scopes.scope commands.scope Nonetheless, under 15.10, this didn't work anywhere nearly as well as it does in 16.04, so I guess the underlying problem has benefited from some of the groundwork in the new release. Just out of curiosity, I'll probably deactivate the startup job above to see what difference it makes. Anyway, having scope access times of less than two seconds on first login has not happened to me since before 12.04, so finally, Unity 7 seems to reach its full potential - just in time for it to be replaced by Unity 8... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to zeitgeist in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919801 Title: Unity dash file search is extremely slow Status in unity-lens-files: Incomplete Status in Zeitgeist Framework: Incomplete Status in unity-lens-files package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in zeitgeist package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When I try to use the Unity dash search feature to navigate to files and folders, it is extremely slow.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1061852] Re: Unity Application Lens slow to load
Thanks, Bruno. I tried your earlier proposal from July by making a startup entry like this: sh -c sleep 15s ;/usr/bin/unity-scope-loader applications/applications.scope applications/ That didn't seem to make any difference, but now I've been using your last workaround for about a week and it seems it cuts my Dash loading time to two-three seconds. I'm not sure why or if there's been some intermediate Unity update that hijacks the results. It seems to me that the difference since last time is that now, you're loading two more scopes: /usr/bin/unity-scope-loader applications/applications.scope applications/scopes.scope commands.scope Care to explain why you made these changes? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061852 Title: Unity Application Lens slow to load Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: WHAT HAPPENS -- Log into the system Launch the dash with the 'window' key Start typing 'chr'...

Time can vary, but any period shorter than one month is a symptom of the bug. [Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way that is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects only those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens -- which is only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't possibly break any existing functionality; if the new code had some mistake, the refresh token would be unusable and the system would automatically fall back to requesting a new access token (which is exactly what happens now, with this bug). I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded; indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
