[arch-general] [aur-general] GUI apps take time to load after X starts + weird behavior after upgrades

[Arno Gaboury]

Dear list,

my system is no more running smooth after yesterday bunch of upgrades. 
The box has very classic and standard settings, and regularly upgraded.

The symptoms:
-when login in runlevel 3, the password prompt appears twice
-after starx (XFCE4), all my previous open windows (Firefox, 
thunderbirds,clementine) take age ( 3-4 mn to display the contents).
-Thunderbird return invalid password to mail server, please retry. I 
clic on retry, then it starts.

I suspects there is a misconfiguration in my new */etc/pam.d/login* 
file, and some authentification issues.

I am not sure to have merged correctly my */etc/pam.d/login* with the 
new login.pacnew

Last line form *everything.log* (this line is quite new, didn't appeared 
before. Maybe due to my install of *libvrtd*):

> Jul  2 12:36:25 localhost dnsmasq[722]: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53

Feom */etc/rc.conf *:

> DAEMONS=(ntpd syslog-ng netfs sshd crond dbus networkmanager 
> avahi-daemon libvirtd)
Nothing special in *kernel.log*.

TY for your help.
