The slow login/desktop bug appears to have been around for a while. The bug is reported in edgy & feisty and they are mostly unconfirmed and mostly of undecided importance. Although I'm very happy with feisty, I am finding this bug a bit bothersome so I thought I'd do some research through the bug archives.
I think this bug has been reported numerous times. The bug list that follows, I think are reports of effectively the same bug. Bug #78263 - claims workaround (feisty) Bug #78493 (edgy) Bug #79466 (edgy) Bug #80827 - claims workaround (edgy) Bug #92997 - claims workaround (feisty) Bug #94048 (feisty) Bug #110616 (feisty?) Bug #110775 (feisty) Bug #110187 - reports slow desktop as a side effect of other network config issues. (feisty) --------------- Bug #95264 - Maybe related (not clear) (feisty) Bug #93447 - Maybe related (not clear) (edgy) --------------- It seems most discussions are blaming this bug on one or more of: Network-manager avahi hosts file resolve file static IP addresses no network connection. I can't vouch for the claimed workarounds - but I intend on investigating them further. The person who solves this one will likely 'kill a number of bugs with one stone'. I hope I'm not being too forward by presenting such a list but I am rather keen to see this bug solved. I hope this list helps to unify further discussion & prompts some further thought on the matter.
