I'm attempting to run the Amateur (ham) radio program qsstv on Ubuntu 19.10, on a new Dell PC, Optiplex 5055 with an AMD PRO A10-9700 R7 CPU with 10 compute cores (4C+6G) and 8GB RAM. swapon NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /dev/sda5 partition 14.9G 4M -2 free total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 7082736 2973652 491932 76956 3617152 3732324 Swap: 15625212 4096 15621116

Every step of the way in this program, from the opening splash screen to clicking on different tabs and menu options in the program, there is a long 60-120 second wait before anything happens. Many other programs run like the wind on this PC, so I'm not sure what is going on here.
I tried to just mv the /home/user/sstv dir, and start with a new config, no luck. If I run this in a windows while going into the config menu, and attempting to restart and cat interface:
