This seems to be a known issue with dconf as it can be read in the dconf manual. https://developer.gnome.org/dconf/unstable/dconf-overview.html "The binary database format that dconf uses by default is not suitable for use on NFS, where mmap does not work well."
This seems to be also applicable to cifs. The solution is better explained in the Red Hat Customer Portal https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Desktop_Migration_and_Administration_Guide/store-user-settings-over-nfs.html Short version: 1. Create file /etc/dconf/profile/user 2. There insert following line: service-db:keyfile/user 3. Save the file and reboot Question is whether this could be the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1364316 Title: Very slow/failed logon on cifs mounted home caused by locking issues of .config/dconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/d-conf/+bug/1364316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
