After the upgrade we might install the 11.2 gconftool-2 binary again. @Michael: You might have a better idea how to deal with this situation of existing 11.1 scripts which are executed at the update of many gnome packages. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I updated 11.2 -> 11.3 and then updated the remaining packages from within yast. After the yast updates, compiz was dead, so I went to remove it and start over trying with either J's packages in XGL or Dominiques' in compiz. No big deal, I've done this 50 times before, but this time: rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep "compiz\|fusion\|emerald") python-ccm simple-ccsm took so long to complete, I canceled the process at 10 minutes to check whether it was stuck. In ten minutes time, it had only removed 6 out of the 13 compiz packages that needed to be removed. Checking further, the problem was gconftool-2 stuck at the top of top. I don't know what the heck it was doing, but it was sitting there eating between 30% and 50% of the cpu the entire time I was trying to rpm -e compiz with the cli above. Why is gconftool-2 running when removing compiz rpms anyway? Compiz removal should take no more than 30 seconds. As I've said above, I've probably done it 50 times in the past 3 years. In 11.3 it took over 20 minutes to remove the 13 packages that make up my compiz install: 08:15 zephyr:/home/backup/rpms/suse11.3> rpm -qa | grep "compiz\|fusion\|emerald" | sort -u compiz-0.8.6-49.1.i586 compiz-branding-SLE-0.8.6-49.1.i586 compiz-branding-openSUSE-0.8.6-49.1.i586 compiz-branding-upstream-0.8.6-49.1.i586 compiz-emerald-0.8.6-13.1.i586 compiz-gnome-0.8.6-49.1.i586 compiz-plugins-extra-0.8.6-5.1.i586 compiz-plugins-main-0.8.6-7.1.i586 compiz-plugins-unsupported-0.8.4-1.1.i586 compizconfig-settings-manager-0.8.4-16.1.noarch fusion-icon-0.0.1_080201-8.1.i586 libcompizconfig-0.8.4-3.1.i586 python-compizconfig-0.8.4-9.1.i586 It would appear that a regression has occurred...

It's slow for all packages calling gconftool-2 in the scripts section. I'm using zypper and therefore I see the progress and then it stops for 5, 10 or even more seconds. Enough time to call top in a different shell and to call ps and identify gconftool-2 forked from rpm. Is the hardware a Pentium 1 110 MHz? No, it's a dual core CPU running at 22 GHz and with 4 GB of main memory. As I'm performing the install from an ISO image from an external disk attached to the same computer I'm sure the system isn't waiting for network IO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

GConf schemas are slowly dying out, most apps in 12.2 did move to gsettings by now.
