I've recently set up a new machine with TDE. For reasons I can't figure out, when I log into TDE on the new machine the startup screen needs about 4-5 seconds to get past the "Loading settings" step. On the old machine this takes a split second, so on the new machine this is several times slower. The new machine has a faster SDD and comparable CPU (more cores than the old one, but that's probably not relevant here) so I don't see a good reason why this is so slow. I know there is a setting in TCC to disable configuration checking on login, which I did. It seems to *sometimes* work, i.e. occasionally "Loading settings" will take a split second, but for the most time it still takes 4-5 seconds. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here?
Hi Janek,
Not exactly a clue, but it's generally not a good idea to turn off the configuration checking on login. Take sip of your drink, get another cup of coffee, but let it do it's thing so your system works correctly...
Best, Michael
PS: The new(ish) TDE has a 'fixer' program that runs at login to do ??? (ask a dev). It'll run each login until it's satisfied (mine ran 4 or 5 times doing an upgrade from stretch/R14.06 to buster/R14.08).
Hi,
the mentioned checking / fixing program is not completely new. It is a part of TDE from R14.0.0~pre. The principle is that the program runs only once and if no new check / fix rule is added, it is not run again.
When the user logs in for the very first time, with a new profile, the program will run for the first time. However, in such a situation there should not be many tasks to be solved, so it should not be a delay.
Cheers
