[Bug 446498] Re: /usr/sbin/update-software-center is very slow on armel
Installing a new package in a terminal is also slowed down tremendously by this memory and processor hogging bit of python prototype code. An example might help so here it goes. I just installed the new Opera beta by downloading the package and pointing dpkg -i at it. Dpkg went to work... $ s dpkg -i Downloads/opera_11.00._i386.deb [sudo] password for frank: (Reading database ... 395735 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace opera 10.00.4585.gcc4.qt3 (using .../opera_11.00._i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement opera ... Setting up opera (11.00.) ... ...and it seemed to stop... did it hang? A quick check: $ ps aux|grep update root 31463 73.9 6.8 79676 52856 pts/10 R13:52 4:22 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/update-software-center Aha, software center again. This took 10 minutes to run. After that, dpkg went on: Processing triggers for shared-mime-info ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ... Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ... Processing triggers for python-gmenu ... Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/desktop.en_US.utf8.cache... Processing triggers for software-center ... ...and it seemed to stop again! Check again: $ ps aux|grep update root 31778 76.0 6.8 79412 52248 pts/10 R14:02 4:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/update-software-center --triggered /usr/share/app-install/desktop Yes, again software-center spoils the party. It took another 10 minutes. Dpkg awoke from this bit of python drudgery: Processing triggers for menu ... Processing triggers for python-support ... Processing triggers for python-central ... An now, finally, after 21 minutes (!) the package is installed. Guess what my next action was? $ s apt-get autoremove --purge software-center Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: cpu-checker* gnome-app-install* libisccfg60* libxcomp3* sessioninstaller* software-center* zeitgeist-core* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 7 to remove and 165 not upgraded. After this operation, 4,272 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? YES, PLEASE! This bug report was prepared on a Thinkpad T23 (1.2 GHz PIII-m with 768 MiB) running up to date Natty - which is starting to resemble Debian by virtue of having the obese Ubuntu-specials purged. A note to the devs: do not use a prototyping language to implement your basic infrastructure. Python may be a nice prototyping language but it is a memory and cpu hog. Please, use a compiled language or at least a less hoggy interpreted language to create essential pieces of infrastructure like the package management system. This stuff needs to run FAST and reliable. -- /usr/sbin/update-software-center is very slow on armel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Not just in arm, it's pretty slow in general. Try running it on a legacy machine. Not that the old Add/Remove Software was that much better, we need something that's just small and light, yet still functional and usable. -- /usr/sbin/update-software-center is very slow on armel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: software-center Hi The software-center update took 1mn20s just for the /usr/sbin/update- software-center command on my fastest armel machine (Dove 800 Bogomips, 512MB of RAM).
