I also have the same symptoms (Kubuntu 16.04, all packages up to date): Upon login the progress bar fills quickly (3-4 seconds to reach 100%) and then there is a long pause (>20 seconds) before the desktop finally appears. However, when I run systemd-analyze blame there is no obvious culprit:
876ms systemd-rfkill.service 338ms dev-sda1.device 222ms networking.service 199ms ModemManager.service 195ms accounts-daemon.service 171ms gpu-manager.service 162ms thermald.service 161ms NetworkManager.service 145ms upower.service 145ms grub-common.service 143ms plymouth-quit.service 134ms systemd-logind.service 129ms avahi-daemon.service 105ms irqbalance.service 104ms preload.service 92ms apport.service I would be happy to provide more information, to help get rid of this annoyance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584604 Title: Slow login to kde5 waiting on networkmanager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-nm/+bug/1584604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
