Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-main-menu
My machine, which is running Edgy, is an older one with a slow processor and little physical RAM (though I have lots of swap). When I click on the more applications button, the window takes anywhere between 10-25 seconds to appear and become fully functional (sometimes it appears, but the contents haven't yet been drawn). This delay seems to be caused by the overhead of launching a separate, high-overhead process. In my opinion, the delay should be no longer than 1 second, and whatever measures necessary to avoid such a delay (using a single process, keeping the application browser in memory, etc.) should be taken. The application browser is in effect a menu, and should be just as easily accessible--especially since there's no other way to access programs not in the favorites list through gnome-main-menu. I'm not sure if I'm reporting this in the right place. I installed the package gnome-main-menu, not slab (which doesn't exist in the edgy repos). I followed a link here from the Launchpad entry for gnome-main- menu. ** Affects: slab (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- The More Applications window takes far too long to come up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
