I can't reproduce this on Ubuntu 16.04 with 1.1.423. Are you able to reproduce this after resetting RStudio desktop state? https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200534577-Resetting-RStudio-Desktop-s-State |

Yes, I have reset my RStudio desktop state severally. I keep getting the same issue. |

Can you check the permissions on the file located at: Similarly, is there a companion file located at: If so, does deleting one or both of those files help? |

Could this be related: #1889 ? |

Do you have a lot of fonts installed? You might also try using the preview release -- we now attempt to cache the font database on startup, so at least attempts to open global options should no longer cause this sort of lag. |
|
Yes, I have quite a number of tex fonts installed. After waiting for about 10min, the options dialog appeared and I could switch to vim editing mode. With the preview release (v. 1.2.1070) the startup takes several minutes. I thought it might be only the first startup, however, the second and third startup took also several minutes. |
|
RStudio still needs to read and parse the font database on startup so it will take some time. (We should see if it's possible to make this happen in a separate thread so it doesn't slow down startup, but we haven't explored that yet.) Glad to hear at least that Global Options is much faster now. |
|
Closing this since the original issue (i.e. Global Options taking too long to open) has been resolved. We could open another issue to track an improvement to startup time by switching to font loading on a background thread, though haven't had any reports of trouble with that in > 1 year so possibly not worth doing unless we have further evidence. |
It turns out this has already been done! |
