Mint 20 Mate slow after Login #56

xdg-desktop-portal.service causes a long wait after login (in my case about 25 sec) until the desktop and its icons appear.

systemctl --user status xdg-desktop-portal.service generates the following error message:xdg-desktop-por[1464]: Failed to get application states: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.portal.Error.Failed: Could not get window list

The effect can be reproduced by reinstalling Mint 20. The system startup is then still ok and after login the desktop appears quickly.
After running all offered updates and rebooting, the desktop appears heavily delayed.

Does this help?

systemctl --user stop xdg-desktop-portal{,-gtk}
systemctl --user disable xdg-desktop-portal{,-gtk}

Can you paste/attach your ~/.xsession-errors?

After ~$ systemctl --user stop xdg-desktop-portal{,-gtk} the service is stopped.

After ~$ systemctl --user disable xdg-desktop-portal{,-gtk} the service seems not to be disabled. The same message appears.
`~$ systemctl status --user xdg-desktop-portal.service

Do you have any flatpak apps installed? If so, which?

flatpak list

No, I have not installed any Flatpak because they take up too much space and the principle does not convince me.

flatpak list
does not return any output.

There's something that's using the xdg-portal interface to request background operation at startup. Do you have any additional programs starting when you login (often they provide a system tray icon as well). You could try disabling these things to maybe narrow down the culprit.

This background interface is provided by xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in Mint 20, though it is attempting to communicate with Gnome-Shell which obviously isn't running. Fortunately, in Mint 21/Ubuntu 22.04 the gtk package no longer does this (there's an xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package that provides this only when shell is running.

Since you're not using flatpaks anyhow you can uninstall both xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gtk, and this issue should go away.

All right, thank you very much. Then I will also uninstall xdg-desktop-portal.

$ sudo apt purge xdg-desktop-portal worked for me to on LM20.2M.
