Linux Mint 13 Cinnimon, Mouse is Busy for way too long.

[MR-X]

Almost everytime I open Nautilus the Mouse is busy for like 10-20 seconds (No im not overexaggerating the time either) like some slow process is working in the backgound too long? I never had this issue with any other distro I have used, It feels like I have a Keylogger or somthing logging every detail in the background? I disabled logging in the Privacy Panel but it still seems like its logging and checking files or somthing?

Im using a AMD FX-4100 Quad Core 3.6GHz, and 8GIG of ram, so I dont know why its slow?

Is this Zeitgeist crap what is making it take so long? I think users should have an option to opt out of it 100% during Install. What is this SPYWARE? I dont want it!

EDIT; I forgot to add I dont even have a bunch of files in my folders for it to be taking so long.

I opened System Monitor and looks like it is Cinnimon that goes to the top when I open Nautilus which is also using way too much CPU 44- 56%? I think Cinnimon has some issues they need to work out! its kinda like a roller coaster up and down, up and down and Im not even doing any intensive tasks.

its weird when i click reply/edit to reply/edit a post here on the forum using Firefox, Cinnimon goes up to 56% CPU, why would it do this when I reply to a post, then when im done editing/replying it goes back down to normal CPU.

Im mixed up I dont know what is going on?

If you start nautilus from a terminal you might get a report of what it's up to.

Sorry I'm late replying, been busy, I figured out it is only slow when I launch it through the shortcut on the cinnamon taskbar, I added the Home shortcut back to my desktop and launched it from their and seems to launch normal from their. I also tested with a x32 edition on a separate machine and its the same way.

A accurately as I can time it with a stop watch, it took 16 ± 0.5 seconds for the busy icon to disappear when launching Nautilus from the panel, the favourite list, the mint menu or an icon on the desktop. There is no delay using the Home icon on my desktop.

So thanks for the tip, but this must be a bug.

I am not sure why, but using LightDM as my display manager got rid of this for me. I used lightdm-gtk-greeter, not the unity-greeter. Can't stand that default purple.

I am not sure why, but using LightDM................

Found this http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-u ... dm-in.html because I was clueless to what you were talking about, but Im tired of playing Bug Catcher, I want an OS that actually works, not some bug infested ring around a rosie os, probably be back when they actually fix all these annoying bugs.....

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using LightDM? Is there a link where we can learn more?

@ Garvan: it's a replacement login screen. Normally you have mdm on Mint 13, lightdm is what Ubuntu uses. The login will look differently.
