Smile takes forever to open and is unresponsive.
Garbg opened this issue · comments
Opening smile takes about 30 seconds, and it is so unresponsive it is unsusable. I have an intel core i9-10850k CPUand an AMD Radeon RX 6600 GPU. Your other apps like gear lever work perfectly fine.
When it's opening for some reason it uses 99% of my CPU on one thread.
I honestly don't know how to debug this, I'm trying on every platform and configuration I possibly can, but Smile always runs just fine for me
I am using opensuse tumbleweed. I might try reinstalling it.

What happens if you run fc-cache -f -v
before opening Smile?
Or try rm -rf ~/.cache/fontconfig/
then the fc-cache -f
command.
Can you share which emoji fonts you have installed?
Realistically, the only thing that could slow it down is the rendering of the emoji list, but we are talking about a couple of hundred items at maximum, it shouldn't be a big problem
I recently performed the actions I mentioned on my machine for a different purpose, and sometime after I opened Smile and found it performing as expected (not the typical super super laggy way).
Precisely what operation, the removal of ~/.cache/fontconfig/
or fc-cache -f
helped resolve the issue, or whether this fix will persist after reboot, I couldn't say.
(UPDATE: fix persists!)
But this is the first time one of my machines that was experiencing issues with Smile somehow resolved itself.
I don't know it fixed itself
