[Sway, Arch] Help with very slow startup..?

[schmitmd]

I'm seeing some very slow startups. As in, it takes 5-6 full seconds to even get the "logging initialized" line.

mybox:~%>date && /opt/yubico/authenticator 
Thu May  4 07:23:19 AM UTC 2023
07:23:24.531 [desktop.init] INFO: Logging initialized, outputting to stderr

07:23:30.176 [desktop.devices] INFO: USB state updated, unaccounted for: {}

Can someone help me get better logs & diagnose this? This is the only other line in the output, but I'm not sure if it's significant: (authenticator:32568): libayatana-appindicator-CRITICAL **: 16:40:03.618: app_indicator_set_menu: assertion 'IS_APP_INDICATOR (self)' failed

My setup:
OS: Archlinux
Environment: Wayland (specifically Sway, but I tried Wayfire and see the same behavior)
Package installed via AUR, just the normal yubico-authenticator-bin package.

Just an FYI, I tested with version 0.5.91 and 0.5.92 of libayatana-appindicator, where IS_APP_INDICATOR was changed to APP_IS_INDICATOR, and regardless of which version of the library (and hence the function/method name) I use, an error referencing that name always appears during startup. So, this appears to be a red-herring. Sorry about that!

Issue title should be updated to clarify this is on Sway on Arch Linux.

[OtaK]

Same happens (super slow start, up to 30 seconds) on Hyprland (Gentoo)

[markstos]

@OtaK Have you tested with the Sway 1.9 release?

[OtaK]

@OtaK Have you tested with the Sway 1.9 release?

As mentioned in my comment, I do not use Sway but rather Hyprland. It is also wlroots-based and the app seems to have an issue with wlroots/wayland rather than Sway in particular. To be completely fair, the app works. It's just extremely slow to start.

Also worth noting that this is a regression over the legacy Qt version of yubioath, the old version starts instantly.

[trinitronx]

@OtaK:

To be completely fair, the app works. It's just extremely slow to start.

I'm not sure if this is a related symptom to the problem I encountered on Manjaro Sway edition (based on Arch) with Yubico Authenticator (yubioath-flutter) failing to open the smartcard connection...

The yubioath-flutter app requires access to the Yubikey hardware (via ykman & pcscd), which can conflict with other apps running in the background such as gpg-agent or scdaemon. It will wait indefinitely and just show a screen saying "Failed to open smartcard connection", and "Make sure pcscd is installed and running." (See screenshot below)

I have solved that issue in a custom PKGBUILD by installing a wrapper script that first kills all GPG processes (gpgconf kill --all), and stops all SystemD user units including .sockets, so gpg-agent doesn't get triggered to start again while Yubikey Authenticator (yubioath-flutter) is running. After Yubikey Authenticator exits, these are restarted & commands are run to reset the state of gpg-agent so it can be used with the Yubikey again.

Not sure if it helps with your slow startup problem... but maybe it's worth a try?

# To checkout & build:
mkdir -p ~/src/pub/pkgbuild && cd ~/src/pub/pkgbuild
git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/trinitronx/yubioath-desktop-beta-bin.git
cd yubioath-desktop-beta-bin

# --sign is optional, but if you have Yubikey + GPG... why not?
# Just set GPGKEY="$YOUR_KEY_ID" in ~/.makepkg.conf, ensure gpg --card-status is showing your Yubikey
makepkg --cleanbuild --sign -f

# To install the locally-built package
sudo pacman -U ./yubioath-desktop-beta-bin-7.0.0-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Then, launch either via /usr/local/share/applications/com.yubico.authenticator.desktop OR /opt/yubioath-desktop-beta/linux_support/yubioath-authenticator-start.sh to use the wrapper script.
