Program not responding notification is popping up too quickly

Not sure what it exactly says in English, but it pops up pretty much every time i open game with wine. Options are to wait or close program. Sometimes it comes up when browser has slight hiccup and cpu peaks to max.

Is there way to adjust delay for that small but annoying problem?

I'm running Zorin in older i5 computer so it probably doesn't show up on faster computers so easily.

Hi and welcome! What browser are you using. What version of Zorin are you using?

Zorin OS 17.3 Core
Intel® Core™ i5-5250U CPU @ 1.60GHz × 4
16,0 GiB
Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 6000 (BDW GT3)

Browser is Brave, but that's not the point. Issue is that not responding notice that get triggered too quickly. Programs doesn't crash it just takes them little bit too long to process sometimes.

Have you inspected Logs?

No i haven't.

I can't see anything relevant to that not responding issue.

Since it's not just one program related, but system wide so problem is elsewhere.

Which section of Logs is Applications in your language? I have assumed it should be the third item on the left not the second. (Gotta go now - got things to do, people to collect).

That sounds for me like the Window when a Program doesn't responding Is it looking similar to this:

Indeed

I'm not entirely sure, but I guess it isn't possible to change that because it relates to the Response Times and how a Program behaves. But maybe I'm wrong with that and others can give You an Advice to change it.

I also noticed this on an older machine, the timeout is way too aggressive. I assume it is a configuration value inherited from Ubuntu or GNOME. If it can be configured to a higher value, then this would be a good tweak for Zorin to bundle.

I haven't tried it (not on my Zorin machine right now), but this terminal command seems like it could help. https://askubuntu.com/a/1215995

Edit: Or if it does not work, there is another alternative further down that uses dconf-editor.

I've take a Look at dconf-editor and it is really there:

You have to click on the check-alive-timeout Entry and then it opens the Setup Window for it. There You have to scroll down, turn off the Toggle and change the Time (ms) and then click on the Apply Button:

That seemed to help. I increased timeout to 15000

Thanks.
