I noticed that after recent updates, some apps are suddenly taking a really long time to launch. Chromium (flatpak) takes almost 1 minute to launch. Code (dnf) appears to launch quickly, but remains unresponsive for 1-2 minutes.
I have a Fedora 42 KDE VM which was last updated on 2025-05-02 and it does NOT exhibit this behavior.
This was not happening a couple of days ago. Any ideas?
UPDATE: Used sudo dnf history rollback N --skip-unavailable --ignore-extras to rollback updates. Eventually went all the way back to 2025-05-02.
Who knows? Same drive, etc. for host and VM. VM does not have any issues, so hardware problem seems improbable to me. Never encountered anything like this before. Everything was fine until the last (or next to last) dnf upgrade…
I assume you’ve tried monitoring the system logs with a command such as sudo journalctl --follow while launching a program that exhibits this problem to see if anything noteworthy is being logged?
No not aware of that command. Here’s what I found:
