Terminal cd command has 0.5 second delay

aegir221 · 16 January 2023 13:51

Simple problem. My cd commands are running slow on all terminal clients. The "cd" command has a 0.5s delay before it completes. It happened over night. I dont know why.

My bashrc:
#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

aegir221 · 16 January 2023 14:42

Ok. I ll fix it.

FGD · 16 January 2023 14:54

Does this happen ONLY with the cd command? And NO other?

aegir221 · 16 January 2023 14:55

It seems to be so. All other commands seem to be instant. ls gives me the results in like 0.05 sec but cd is almost 1s.. which is kind of annoying.

If I had to guess it is somekind of config file messed up but not sure what/where.

FGD · 16 January 2023 15:05

I’m thinking about the same thing.
In order to get more info, are you able to boot from USB ISO with latest Garuda ISO and test the cd command from the Live ISO (without installing Garuda)?

This would give a benchmark or something. I mean if you get the same delay from Live ISO, then it’s really not a config file on your installation.

aegir221 · 16 January 2023 16:38

Good idea. I am going to DL the latest iso and try it.

BluishHumility · 17 January 2023 00:50

Test if the issue coincides with accessing a particular drive.

aegir221 · 17 January 2023 04:55

I did a live CD with Garuda. Everything worked fast. cd command was instant.

@BluishHumility This did not help. I think there is some mistake in my "custom" terminal / fish or a related terminal app config. I should maybe reset some configs and see where this takes me. Cant afford the time now so I will work it out later this week.

Naman · 17 January 2023 05:25

Btw, it is just a simple button in Garuda assistant to reset the configs.
Just letting you know.

FGD · 17 January 2023 12:16

Don’t forget to take some backups first!

aegir221 · 17 January 2023 13:15

Actually I have a new question now.

Is there a way to run any app in somekind of "diagnostic" "monitored" mode or get some logs on where the hold up is.

I know that the Linux filesystem is full of inormation being written into files.. I need to figure out where I can get more info.

(I Did clean up some typos with uneven quotes but this was not the issue for now.)

SGS · 17 January 2023 13:36

New help request = New topic/thread

Please

Do not forget to mark the solution.

aegir221 · 17 January 2023 14:04

I have found the source of the problem. It is the .config/fish/config.fish file. When I erased the content my fish terminal started moving fast.

I need to build it from the ground up to make sure there are no "glitches" in the config file. <-- Thats incorrect.

What fixed the issue for me was the following:

Copy my config.fish ( fish terminal config file) to a safe location.
Delete ~/.config/fish/ (whole folder) with rm -Rf command.
Run terminal app again run fish again. This seems to fix it.

Now I need to figure out what lines in my config messed up the fish terminal cd command. It might make the config simpler for starters and just build it up piece by piece.

How I fixed the config file? I deleted everything from config.fish file and only left aliases there and everything works. Even the mcfly works (scrollable history) .

I am quite happy now.

Update on this. I think the root problem was caused by McFly misbehaving, I have since uninstalled it.

FGD · 17 January 2023 15:09

Superb, we are happy if you are!

Can you mark a post as the Solution of your thread?
So other people searching for the same issue will immediately know it has been solved in this thread.

SGS · 17 January 2023 15:15

The “standard” config works here fine, so, did you change something?

On top, you wrote, the cd command has a delay.

Both work smooth here.

BluishHumility · 17 January 2023 15:24

There is more in this directory than just config.fish. Your configuration issue could have come from any number of places.

 exa -aT .config/fish
.config/fish
├── completions
├── conf.d
│  ├── done.fish
│  └── mcfly.fish
├── config.fish
├── fish_variables
└── functions
   └── br.fish

Hopefully you don’t need any of that stuff you deleted.

dr460nf1r3 · 17 January 2023 18:11

This will be part of fish 3.6 natively and much better!

Michael_joseph · 17 January 2023 18:44

this is good.
the idea of having some time-traveling nerd keep a record of my terminal inputs is somewhat disconcerting >.>

aegir221 · 17 January 2023 18:59

Well. I deleted all of it.. but backed up the config.fish file. Then I went ahead and just manually copied parts of my old config.fish to the config.fish.

Deleting the fish folder was me "starting at a blank slate" with fish. I found it easier than going over everything one by one. Rebuilding from the ground up seemed easy and it's like 10 + lines of scripting not 100s of lines luckily.
