[Solved] System becomes very slow after update at-spi2-core

This morning, after updating at-spi2-core, the system became very slow!
I went back to the previous version and everything is back to normal.

Here's the version I'm currently using and it works fine:

Code: [Select]
jp-artix:[jp]:~$ pacman -Q at-spi2-core
at-spi2-core 2.48.0-2

Code: [Select]
$ neofetch
                   '                      jp@jp-artix 
                  'o'                     ----------- 
                 'ooo'                    OS: Artix Linux x86_64 
                'ooxoo'                   Kernel: 6.1.27-1-lts 
               'ooxxxoo'                  Uptime: 1 min 
              'oookkxxoo'                 Packages: 1481 (pacman) 
             'oiioxkkxxoo'                Shell: bash 5.1.16 
            ':;:iiiioxxxoo'               Resolution: 1920x1080 
               `'.;::ioxxoo'              DE: Xfce 
          '-.      `':;jiooo'             WM: Xfwm4 
         'oooio-..     `'i:io'            WM Theme: Daloa 
        'ooooxxxxoio:,.   `'-;'           Theme: Adwaita [GTK2/3] 
       'ooooxxxxxkkxoooIi:-.  `'          Icons: oxygen [GTK2], matefaenzadark  
      'ooooxxxxxkkkkxoiiiiiji'            Terminal: xfce4-terminal

It just booted to a blank black screen with me, as the desktop failed to start, using Mate, downgrading at-spi2-core fixed it:
Code: [Select]
ctrl-alt-f2/3 etc. for alternate tty
$ cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
$ sudo pacman -U at-spi2-core-2.48.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
at-spi2-core is related to dbus operation apparently.

Yes indeed, it seems to affect startup times. In my case, launching xfce4-terminal took a long time for whatever reason (I don't actually use xfce; just i3). There's reports on Arch and upstream about it.

I've pushed at-spi2-core 2.48.1-2 which has the problematic commit reverted, so that should resolve this. After that, we'll just wait for the proper fix from upstream.

Edit: The package is now at 2.48.2-1, a new release, which should fix this.

After updating to 2.48.2-1 and rebooting, it all worked fine, so I can confirm it's fixed things for me here, thank you.
