Since it seemed like this issue was coming from bluez or blueman, I did some package removal tests and was surprised by the results. These were done in order, which all packages removed in the previous step still removed in the following step.
1. Remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, no change. 2. Remove blueman, no change. 3. Remove bluez, bluez-cups, bluez-obexd, no change. 4. Autoremoved libbluetooth3 (brltty brltty-x11 libbluetooth3 network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome), and still no change. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754836 Title: Xubuntu: ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on org.bluez:/org/bluez: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service 'org.bluez': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms) Status in blueman package in Ubuntu: New Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Xubuntu seeing long first time boot to desktop from login.
