(Sorry about the repeated messages. It turns out that if the browser refreshes the page after you post a bug on launchpad, that re-posts the bug. And if you reboot your computer and the browser comes back with Session Saver, that refreshes the page... From now on I'll close a bug window immediately after the bug is submitted, to prevent this.)
Today's package updates include updates to smbfs. I updated my Athlon64 to the latest, put back the auto smbfs mount, and rebooted. Same exact failure mode as reported above: desktop takes over 45 seconds to come up and the smbfs mounted volume just times out if you try to look at it. -- auto smbfs mount in /etc/fstab causes hald hang at boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/44874 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
