@ferro, thanks alot for pointing this out, I can confirm this here. Removing i386 libraries solved the problem for me. Did not have the metapackage "ia32-libs" installed, but alot of :i386 libs. after apt-get remove libc6:i386 which removed nearly all the other :i386 packets, the error was gone. But this removed also some software I use (wine, rhythmbox). I reinstalled both. rhythmbox did not seem to have any i386 deps, but wine installed alot of i386 libs again. The problem is STILL gone...
Here is a list of i386 libs now tagged as "rc" in dpkg -l (which were installed but are removed). Maybe one of these is causing the problem: gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386 libaa1:i386 libacl1:i386 libaio1:i386 libao4:i386 libasyncns0:i386 libatk1.0-0:i386 libattr1:i386 libaudiofile1:i386 libavc1394-0:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386 libcaca0:i386 libcairo-gobject2:i386 libcairo2:i386 libcanberra-gtk0:i386 libcanberra0:i386 libcap2:i386 libcdparanoia0:i386 libcroco3:i386 libcupsimage2:i386 libcurl3:i386 libdatrie1:i386 libdbus-glib-1-2:i386 libdv4:i386 libelf1:i386 libesd0:i386 libflac8:i386 libgail18:i386 libgdbm3:i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 libgdu0:i386 libgnome-keyring0:i386 libgomp1:i386 libgtk-3-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libgudev-1.0-0:i386 libibus-1.0-0:i386 libidn11:i386 libiec61883-0:i386 libjack-jackd2-0:i386 libjasper1:i386 libjson0:i386 libllvm2.9:i386 libmad0:i386 libmikmod2:i386 libmng1:i386 libncursesw5:i386 libnspr4:i386 libnss3:i386 libodbc1:i386 libogg0:i386 liboil0.3:i386 libpango1.0-0:i386 libpixman-1-0:i386 libpolkit-agent-1-0:i386 libpolkit-gobject-1-0:i386 libproxy1:i386 libpulse-mainloop-glib0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386 libqt4-declarative:i386 libqt4-designer:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-opengl:i386 libqt4-qt3support:i386 libqt4-script:i386 libqt4-scripttools:i386 libqt4-sql:i386 libqt4-svg:i386 libqt4-test:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqt4-xmlpatterns:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 libraw1394-11:i386 librsvg2-2:i386 librtmp0:i386 libsamplerate0:i386 libsdl-image1.2:i386 libsdl-mixer1.2:i386 libsdl-net1.2:i386 libsdl-ttf2.0-0:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386 libshout3:i386 libslang2:i386 libsndfile1:i386 libsoup-gnome2.4-1:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libspeex1:i386 libspeexdsp1:i386 libssl0.9.8:i386 libstdc++5:i386 libtag1-vanilla:i386 libtdb1:i386 libthai0:i386 libtheora0:i386 libudev0:i386 libunistring0:i386 libvisual-0.4-0:i386 libvorbis0a:i386 libvorbisenc2:i386 libvorbisfile3:i386 libwavpack1:i386 libwrap0:i386 libxaw7:i386 libxcb-render0:i386 libxcb-shm0:i386 libxft2:i386 libxmu6:i386 libxp6:i386 libxss1:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxv1:i386 odbcinst1debian2:i386 xaw3dg:i386 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996791 Title: Xubuntu 12.04 extremely slow login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/996791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
