[SOLVED] Delay on opening initial folder

helloimustbegoing · Post by **helloimustbegoing** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 9:46 pm

Not sure if I put this in the correct board. After booting up, the first time I click to open Home, or any folder, it takes about 5 seconds to open. But after opening the first folder, following folders open in a timely manner. It is only opening the first folder after booting up when I get this delay. This has been going on for over a week, so I can't remember what I did or what changes I made that may be causing this. Can anyone suggest a solution? I'd hate to reinstall Mint just for this.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Do you have any network connected devices? Any external hard drives? Any that are NOT connected, but were previously? It may be looking for that first time Thunar opens.

Thanks for the suggestion richyrich, but that is not the problem. I do have a Seagate portable/external drive. After reading your post, I plugged it in and rebooted. After the reboot, I still got the 5 second delay.

Any other ideas?

I found how to fix this, here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th ... cold_start

Edit /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount and change AutoMount=true to AutoMount=false.

I am happy once again.
