Ho un computer veloce (ottimo processore, buon SSD) ma Software Center impiega ben 30 secondi per caricarsi. Questo non è un problema, penso che potrebbe esserci qualcosa di sbagliato. Synaptic impiega un secondo per caricare.
Corsi strace software-center
a vedere se stava schiacciando il disco (è un SSD - non riesco a sentirlo) e sta bloccando e tentando di aprire un intero carico di file. Ecco un estratto:

Questa potrebbe essere un'aringa rossa. Più tardi si ferma a questo:
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000) = 1 ([{fd=3, revents=POLLIN}])
recvmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(1)=[{"l\2\1\1\v\0\0\0\3\0\0\0=\0\0\0\6\1s\0\7\0\0\0:1.3497\0"..., 2048}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC}, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 91
recvmsg(3, 0x7fff8c57cc00, MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"l\1\0\1\0\0\0\0\3\0\0\0{\0\0\0\1\1o\0\32\0\0\0/com/ubu"..., 144}, {"", 0}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 144
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}], 1, 25000
E poi lo fa di nuovo ... Queste due pause rappresentano la maggior parte del tempo di caricamento.
E poi si capovolge davvero con migliaia di righe poll / read / temporaneamente non disponibili.
Quindi cosa sta succedendo qui? Perché Software Center sta scansionando quello che sembra essere un possibile pacchetto python che sta cercando StringIO
? Bug?
Allora perché si blocca in quella che sembra una richiesta web a qualcosa.ubuntu.com (non riesco a vedere il messaggio completo)? Perché sta comunque parlando con ubuntu.com?
