Tested master: Same behaviour as Ubuntu 20.04 default version.

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

GEEQIE VERSION

Geeqie 1.6+git20201202-b4032ccb
Geeqie 1.5.1

Latter is default ubuntu 20.04 version.

Instructions in readme.md told me to do "./autogen.sh" and then that told me to do "make" I did not do "./configure". 

OS / DISTRIBUTION

Ubuntu 20.04

SUMMARY

When starting geeqie. it waits for 25 seconds before opening the window.

Context: I use a text-based email program, so when someone sends me 4 attached images I need to start geeqie 4 times on the individual images. Annoying enough when that's a remote X connection that takes a couple of seconds to start up....

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I suspect that it is relevant that I run my mailprogram on my headless fileserver.

I have straced geeqie. The 25 second delay happens in: poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 0 (Timeout)(it's fd=8 on the stock ubuntu version).

This filedescriptor is opened:

1607170947.658945 socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 7
1607170947.659433 connect(7, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/user/1000/bus"}, 110) = 0

and a few messages are exchanged.

I don't know how to debug these "bus" problems. So I can't report on what it is trying to do with this.

Probably very useful for some people what it is trying to do, but for me it seems useless. After the 25 second waiting without result, it continues and works just fine. I tried searching for the 25seconds but on first attempt it was not in the geeqie source but probably somewhere in a library. So I didn't pursue.

I can confirm this behavior on Linux Mint 20, Geeque 1.51. Extremely slow start, regardless of how many files are in the startup folder. I'm no programmer at all but I think such a long delay may happen when the filesystem is checked (or its contents) during startup. On a clean, fresh install there was barely a delay - same behaviour as on previous version on LM 18 - now the SDD is quite full with a lot of different files and it takes way longer to start. After the start however, it works as a charm ;-)

[rewolff]

It is doing something like a "colorspace lookup". It communicates with the "systembus" and makes a few calls that go unanswered. Maybe because I run "mail" and thus "view attachment" on my headless server. Anyway, on Ubuntu 20.04 the problem has gone away after about half a year.

I am still seeing this today on Ubuntu 20.04, Geeqie 1.5.1 ....
