[Bug 1592678] Re: gnome-software starts very early in the session, slowing down boot
Maybe the wrong place to ask, but why does the `fwupd` process has to stay in background (IMO) all the time? `` $ ps aux | grep fwupd root 3260 0.3 0.4 694272 32924 ?Sl 00:35 0:01 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fwupd/fwupd `` All fwupd*.service unit are claimed by `systemctl status` as "inactive (dead)" ``` $ systemctl status fwupd.service โ fwupd.service - Firmware update daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fwupd.service; static; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592678 Title: gnome-software starts very early in the session, slowing down boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1592678/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

And because it runs all the time, we get issues like bug 1594080. It also worsens bugs like bug 1575426 where a user attempts to work around the issue by restarting the Software app (only it's not actually restarted because the process never stopped running). Now that gnome-software's update notifier has been disabled [1], is there any reason gnome-software needs a background service anyway? packagekit or whatever can finish installing or removing an app in the background without gnome-software needing to still be running for that, right?

This is also related to the two-second "fwupd" process that runs during early session startup.

The other issue is that this is quite an expensive process and it should not run all the time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592678 Title: gnome-software starts very early in the session, slowing down boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1592678/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
