[Bug 231384] Re: Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min, gtk-damaged?
I can confirm that it is a network problem. I have a wired and a wireless interface, but I am currently using wireless (eth1) and do not have my wired (eth0) enabled. As soon as I brought down eth1, both firefox and brasero worked perfectly for me (and I just assumed everything else would). After reading Ralf's post more carefully, the last line caught my attention when he said he could not "ping localhost". I tried that as well and it did not work. I then discovered that my loopback interface (lo) was not up for some reason. I brought both eth1 and lo back up and now everything works for me. This does make much more sense to me now as I can see why most of these apps would need the lo interface to work and since it was disabled they would freeze. (I dont see why gedit or brasero would need it but I guess they do for some reason). The real question is now why my loopback interface was disabled. I dont ever remember disabling it manually.

Hi there, I guess I have some information that may be helpful to get to the bottom of this problem. I installed Xubuntu 8.04 on a laptop and everything (especially Firefox) worked fine. The next thing I did was to install a WLAN USB-stick using the following tutorial: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/91223/ WLAN now works, but the "slow application" problem appeared immediately (!) after installing the driver. If you take a look at this thread https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/210646 you will notice that Andrew had the same problem. I confirm that "sudo ifdown rausb0" makes the bug disappear. Unfortunately, the modifications the /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf did not work for me. Another interesting thing is that a ping to the DNS work fine, while "ping localhost" seems to freeze.

Here are the times it takes for some programs I tested to open/display their window. Quick is a reasonable amount of time (under 20 secs). brasero - 3:12 vlc - quick openoffice - quick evince - quick (though I dont have the latest version from the intrepid repositories. I have 2.22.1.1-0ubuntu1) glchess - 3:10 mousepad - quick gedit - 3:10 thunar - quick xfburn - quick gimp - quick thunderbird - quick wireshark - quick abiword - quick gparted - quick synaptic - quick pidgin - quick Programs from the gnome-games packages display interesting behavior and they all behave in the same way. If I start them from the xfce menu, their initial window will appear within a few seconds, but it will be blank except for the title bar and will quickly become greyed out and "not responding". However, if i start them from the command line, nothing will appear for about 3:12, and then the window will appear correctly, however, it will be unresponsive.

Hi BotLobsta Thank you for contributing. How did you install intrepid? Did you use an iso, a clean hardy install or a customized hardy install? do you have any of the following packages installed: avidemux, kdenlive, kino, open movie editor, and pitivi According to Alan Szlosek, these might cause interference. In my personal experience, this is not the cause. I have two identical installations on the very same harddisk, one with a lagging firefox and the other one as quick and intrepid as an ibex ;-) (i know they're the same as i installed the second one using dselect ... with an dpkg --get- selections from the first install) if you have any other pointers (such as additional programs installed) I'd really appreciate your input!

i've tried adapting the computer to a different one that works (that is same packages etc.) but still nothing.

i've attached what "top" said (see top.txt) with the command top > top.txt starting firefox from konsole (terminal) doesn't change a thing. i'm not using any addons or themes ... i *think* i do have an idea what might have caused this. what ports need to be open for firefox to work? firestarter used to show a couple of blocked attempts but only samba-related (ports 137 and 138 i believe) should i have opened those as well? ok ff just started - after 8 min. after entering w (for www.google.it) it went south. it will take approx. 5 min for the next couple of characters to appear ... very usable ;-) thank you for your help!

Does starting firefox from terminal change how long it takes?? Can you please list all your extensions and themes that you are running also please disable firestarter (its onlya GUI to iptables) so it wont affect your settings atleast it shouldnt and see if firefox than loads faster.

[Bug 231384] Re: Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min, gtk-damaged?
ok this is definitely caused by something loaded by firefox. i just started firestarter with kdesu firestarter and it wouldn't load for like 5 min and then appeared. after that, firefox loaded very quickly (<10s) with none of the problems previously described. that of course leads me to the question which module/package/configuration file does firestarter use that firefox also requires? all/any input is welcome!

thank you for your suggestion. unfortunately after 8 min of loading firefox still hasn't appeared so i guess the problem exists even when running it in safe mode. any other ideas? thank you so much for your help! :-) ANDREA -- Firefox is extremely slow to respond; starts in about 4 min, gtk-damaged? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231384 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
