I've installed Mint 13 Xfce for the first time and I've noticed that when I try to open the Thunar file manager it takes a long time to open. Why is this? In the Mint 13 cinnamon, Nautilus file manager opens very fast. I would think Thunar would be the same.
How can I correct this problem?
Why is Thunar so slow?

Give this a shot and see if it improves things.
Edit the following file as root:
and change this:
Edit the following file as root:
Code: Select all
gksu gedit /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount
To this:[Mount]
Type=network
Exec=/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-network
AutoMount=true
Although that parameter is set exactly the same in both Gnome and XFCE, Gnome ignores it whereas XFCE does not. When you first open up Thunar it attempts to find all network servers so that when you select "Network" they are listed immediately. Nautilus does not do that and only searches for network services when yo select "Browse Network". It's probably the same delay duration in both cases it's just a question of when you feel it.[Mount]
Type=network
Exec=/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-network
AutoMount=false

I did that on a machine with SL 6.3 (RHEL) and my wireless network didn't autostart?

This is Mint not Red Hat. Besides ...

Re: Why is Thunar so slow?
Did you log out and log in or reboot after the change? Thunar only takes that long delay on its first launch.vinoman wrote:Yes, that did help out. Now it works likes its supposed to.

Nice fix, altair4!
