I am testing Silverblue since last weekend and although I figured how to configure a lot of stuff, one issue I have is the slowness of toolbox run
. what can be done to speed this up ?
i.e. I have mako installed via rpm-ostree and I use play
(from the sox
package) to play a sound when a notification appears. As sox
is installed in a container I run toolbox run play ...
but there is a delay of >1 sec before the sound actually starts playing.
of course I can put sox
into an ostree layer, but that would be against the idea of silverblue
Hello @ecocode ,
I’m not sure but have you tried to just use pw-play from the command line? It’s included with the default install of Fedora Linux Silverblue. pw-play --volume=0.05 <soundfile.ogg/flac>
. Or using the builtin Gnome notification system available through settings.
Thank you for the idea! This solves the current issue
However, I make heavy usage of toolbox run
for other stuff, like launching emacsclient
from my emacs container where I run emacs --daemon
. That also has a slow startup…
Maybe my toolboxes can be made faster ? Not sure if using podman
instead of toolbox
can speed things up…
