I have the same problem. For me it happened when I upgraded my RAM from 1GB to 4GB. First I thought it might be a problem with MTRRs, but it seems only gdm is making problems.
KDM works fine and if I start gnome-sesion via $HOME/.xsession, this works too... I'm using the Human-theme with face browser. I'm not sure how I can debug this. I tried stracing, but I would have to use -f which is really really slow stracing the X server and so on... -- [hardy] GDM is very slow to appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
