OK, after the downgrade, the delay in the KMenu is gone for sure. So, that's a big relief!

I must say that it's only slow when I do a reboot/logoff/shutdown.
Takes more than a minute before the system reacts.

That sounds like a Qt-5.6.0 bug that will be fixed in .1.

Qt-5.6.1 is out! I will be building it in the next hours and report back.

Let's hope the issue is solved :-)

The delay certainly didn't go away for me, but I haven't yet tried out with a new profile. No delays after updating from Qt-5.5.1 to 5.6.1 on my main system though.

I upgraded from 5.5.1 to 5.6.1 and I still get the delay.

What do you mean with the new profile, genstrom?

It seems that with latest plasma releases (>=5.6.5) from KDE overlay, QT 5.6.1 is now mandatory.

i.e. kde5.eclass
Code:
if [[ ${CATEGORY} = kde-plasma ]]; then
        if [[ $(get_version_component_range 2) -eq 6 && $(get_version_component_range 3) -ge 5 ]]; then
                QT_MINIMAL=5.6.1
        fi
        if [[ $(get_version_component_range 2) -ge 7 || ${PV} = 9999 ]]; then
                QT_MINIMAL=5.6.1
                FRAMEWORKS_MINIMAL=5.23.0
        fi
fi

:?

Is a month a typical release period for qt-5.6.x releases? I would wait for 5.6.2 before I got plasma-5.6.5.

Hi! I think I solved it!

I couldn't resist the temptation of upgrading to plasma 5.6.5 and... it didn't work :-)

However, after some thinking, I started to play around the the graphics related flags of Qt, as I thought it might have something to do with the compositor. I removed gles2 (USE="-gles2" in make.conf). Recompiled the whole thing and It worked!

Please, let me know if it also works for you and we can mark this as solved/workaround. There is still a bug somewhere, but I am not sure is worth spending much time on it.


P.S: If it doesn't solve it for any of you, we can start comparing use flags.

Confirmed. Getting rid of gles2 flag in dev-qt/*, kwin and plasma indeed fixed the delays!

But isn't that too much to give up to workaround a problem?

Is there a bug filed for this somewhere?

I don't see why, after all you go back to 'full' OpenGL.

So, we have blocks to deal with now...:( e.g. polkit-kde-agent wants qtwidgets-5.6.1.

Looks like I need to unmask and disable gles2?

Its not easy. There are other packages which force mesa[+gles2] if I enable 'opengl' flag. I want 'opengl' support globally. And I can't give up on packages like qemu, which is forcing gles2 on mesa.

So, where do we go from here?

It's no problem to have mesa[gles2], you just don't build Qt/Frameworks/Plasma with that flag.

Please show 'it'

No one can help you at that level of (non-)information.

:-)

Only issue is that it does not give me much info:

Code:

# time emerge -pvuDN --tree --verbose-conflicts world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies  ..... ... done!

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
#
>=dev-qt/qtwidgets-5.6.1 gles2
#
>=dev-qt/qtgui-5.6.1 gles2

Well, what were your steps towards removing gles2 use flag? Is it enabled in make.conf? Is it set or unset in package.use?

Code:
$ emerge --info | grep gles2
$ grep -R gles2 /etc/portage/package.use

Removed in make.conf and added to package.use for mesa.

Code:

/etc/portage/package.use/all-others.use:# dev-qt/*:5                            -gles2

/etc/portage/package.use/all-others.use:media-libs/mesa                         g3dvl -llvm xa gles2

# grep gles2 /etc/make.conf

Remove gles, at least for kinfocenter, that's what is forcing qtgui[gles2].

No need to switch off gles2, it's not on by default anywhere. Not sure what you do with gles1 either.

Any ideas on why portage is not telling me who is enforcing the gles2? It has always told me that in the past.
