Public bug reported: I am not sure if this is a duplicate, but I'm definitely not the only one experiencing this issue. After doing an update to Intrepid from Hardy, I am experiencing a pause of about 20 seconds from when I enter my login until I see my wallpaper and the welcome-tune plays and then an additional 5 seconds before Gnome is ready. There is a thread on ubuntuforums flagged as solved but I do not believe that is the case as the problem has not been resolved but simply temporarily fixed:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963800 The problem seems to be related to Compiz-Fusion because if I disable all effects the problem disappears, but I do not think this is a viable solution! As I am a bit of a noob at Ubuntu, I am not sure what information you want in order to do some bug-fixing, but I have found a warning in the daemon.log which seems to be related to the issue: Nov 1 22:55:01 morten-laptop x-session-manager[11297]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'gnome-wm' of required component 'windowmanager' Nov 1 22:55:11 morten-laptop x-session-manager[11297]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-wm.desktop' failed to register before timeout Nov 1 22:55:21 morten-laptop x-session-manager[11297]: WARNING: Application 'libcanberra-login-sound.desktop' failed to register before timeout These warnings appear in the log just after I complete the login and the time seems to be the same as I am waiting for something to happen. Again, if you need more information please tell me, I'll be happy to provide whatever you need, but as I said, I have no idea what that information would be! My system is an Acer Aspire 5920G running a T7300 Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, a GeForce 8600 GS m (256 mb), 2 GB RAM and a 7200 RPM HDD, so I really doubt that the issue is due to the components. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Slow start-up after login in Intrepid - "gnome-wm.desktop failed to report before time-out" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
