I do not even think there has been a Canonical response to this bug yet! I said this earlier, but here it is again: This issue was totally fixed for me on two seperate laptops running amd64 Gutsy one day last week when a few updates came through Update Manager, and I use full Compiz, AWN and have nVidia Go 7600 on one of the laptops.. So if people have updated and still get this issue then it must have different reasons, but obviously someone is trying to fix it despite lack of communication on launchpad. By the way, disabling ipv6 didn't do squat for me. I think it was the updates that upgraded Gnome to 2.20.1 that did it. > 2.

How do you come to this conclusion? My first thought would be GDM but no, I am not sure either.

But then again, there is so much to monitor and I only look at what interests me, which i suspect most people do. But don't be fooled by the blandness of the desktop! Yes, it may look like Fiesty but don't forget that all packages are newer versions. To think that the desktop should look significantly different between releases is a side effect of having used Windows too long! Linux is a progressive development and many of the tools I use have fixed issues I had in previous releases or added new functions that I now use. > Balaji > -- GnuPG Key ID: ECB18ABA Fingerprint: FDF3 91FC F5BC 1164 E217 315E 337E 219B ECB1 8ABA -- [Gutsy] GNOME takes too much time to load during system boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151544 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for meta-gnome2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
