i don't think it is a network manager related problem. if network is managed trough the classic /etc/network/intefaces, the problem persists. i can confirm it in both my systems, a dell d830 notebook and a desktop.
when the configured network is not available, and you can't obviously connect, the system presents an embarassing slowness in logging in and opening applications like totem, terminal, nautilus. there is no processor or disk activity, it just waits a lot. other apps like vlc, which are not part of the gnome desktop, don't seem to be affected. i have no idea of what it could be. i remember, however, that about 1 year ago there was some people who reported the problem in the forum and claimed to be able to solve it by adding some line to resolv.conf, like: localhost 127.0.0.1 -- [/etc/resolv.conf] Extra slow login / app launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
