In response to comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2116949/comments/19, a full investigation was done on the snapd side: https://warthogs.atlassian.net/browse/SNAPDENG-36336?focusedCommentId=998442
(1) Snapd is preseeded on the livecd. (2) The gnome font-config fix, which involved removing 2 second delay, was missing when the result was reported. After this was updated, there was an approx 13 second time saving, bringing the total time down from 45 seconds to 32 seconds. (3) The idea that this was regression from earlier image was proven incorrect, it was just that the dependhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2116949/comments/16ency for the installer was different, which meant it started up before its required dependencies, which was the earlier issue. (4) There is nothing safe that can be done in the short term on the snapd side. The fundamental problem are: -- Font cache does not work correctly, this not a snapd problem but an implementation problem. -- Fonts from the host leaks in and gets loaded as well which significantly increase the hooks execution time. The actual user-experience problem was successfully solved outside of snapd, by keeping the spinner active until after seeding is completes, which means there is not time between the desktop showing up and the installer showing up where someone will wonder what is going on and what is supposed to happen next... The only work done on the snapd side was to enable preseeding. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/2116949/comments/16 There is no further work planned on the snapd side atm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2116949 Title: Since snapd 2.68, initial seeding time increased To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-platform-snap/+bug/2116949/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
