OK, disk speed should not be a problem. It now sounds like the machine might be CPU-bound somehow. If you can then please:
1. Open a Terminal window and run: top -d30 2. Launch programs and reproduce the bug. 3. Within 30 seconds switch to the Terminal window and see what's using the most CPU. Take a screenshot. 4. Wait another 30 seconds for 'top' list to change and again see what's using the most CPU. Take another screenshot. 5. Attach the screenshots to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1831369 Title: Gnome Shell pauses and stutters while waiting (several seconds) for programs to launch Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My laptop: HP 250 G6, Intel Celeron N3350, integrated video card, 4 GB RAM, Ubuntu 19.04 Details in my video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ERUaSS6Qc8jFhHnn9 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 Package: gnome-shell 3.32.0+git20190410-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-15.16-generic 5.0.6 Uname: Linux 5.0.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sun Jun 2 14:32:17 2019 DisplayManager: gdm3 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.shell' b'app-picker-view' b'uint32 1' b'org.gnome.shell' b'command-history' redacted by apport b'org.gnome.shell' b'favorite-apps' redacted by apport b'org.gnome.shell' b'enabled-extensions' b"['desktop-icons@csoriano']" b'org.gnome.desktop.interface' b'gtk-im-module' b"'gtk-im-context-simple'" InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-05-31 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Release amd64 (20190416) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=ru_UA:ru PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=ru_UA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1831369/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
