I have installed Tumbleweed twice and I’ve noticed some things that I hope you can help me with?
In the first time I’ve installed Tumbleweed It was running very slow , and Firefox was crashing any time I had more than two tabs open. I updated to the a newer version of Firefox (46.0-6.0) ,and I saw no result. I did a restart , and it was even slower. Opening , closing ,and minimizing windows caused the panel to flicker, and I restarted it again. On this restart only the mouse would move and I couldn’t click anything. I then decided to uninstall it and then reinstall it.
The second install it went a lot smoother ,yet the panel still flickered , but I did see LESS crashes in Firefox than before. Now after I’ve done some updates and installed some applications I had to do a restart. When it started up I noticed some similar behaviour from before. It stalled for like 40 seconds (during these 40 seconds I could move my mouse around like before) and then ,I could do something and I opened a terminal ,typed htop to see the cpu load ,and it was 90 % and fluctuating. None of the running apps read for anything higher than .3 %. After a minute or two It stabilized and then I could actually do something. ( it was still running slow) I don’t think this is the intended experience of Opensuse.
Apparently tracker was trying to start on startup. That is what was causing the problems . Boot is very fast now ,but the panel still flickers and Firefox is still crashing. Slightly faster though.
