[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1816674] Re: Update-mime-database is getting very slow during apps installation
@Sebastien Sorry for the late reply. I recall that the workaround consisted in adding a random delay to the apt-daily task, so that it would not happen *right* at startup. How exactly this was done, unfortunately, I did write it down :-/ but I think it was adding or creating the file ./system/apt-daily.timer, ensuring that it contained the RandomizedDelaySec directive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to shared-mime-info in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816674 Title: Update-mime-database is getting very slow during apps installation Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The installation of some apps has become very slow due to the update- mime-database command that takes up a lot of time.

This has been a disk muncher for over a year now.

Same problem with 20.04. I believe this is related to this issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=255817 . FTR, as `apt-daily.service` is running on startup, this was also increasing my boot-time significantly (although I found a workaround for this particular problem).
