I got it both in 12.04 LTS, when using nvidia prioprieary drivers, as well as with 12.10 which switched to bumblebee and is using mesa by default. So this is probably not a graphics driver issue. In 12.10 that lag seems to be longer, but that may be just by accident that mesa graphic drivers are faster to initialize - the time to switch from the splash screen to login screen is very short now.
This bug is very bad because it affects first impression. I wanted to show ubuntu to some of my friends (especially how fast it loads), but that lag ruins the good first impression totally. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969627 Title: short lag between greeter starting and interface being responsive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/969627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
