Public bug reported:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1268723/lightdm-startup-delay-in-20-04
I have had this issue for a long time where, once I login, all I can see
(for at least a minute) is the wallpaper and mouse. Eventually the rest
of the desktop environment is loaded and everything is good to go. If I
log out and back in, I don't have the same issue I do at startup.
I have tried many things including installation of haveged and also
trying to disable the lightdm.service and startx'ing (however I was
never able to even successfully disable the service). I also read
somewhere that it might not actually be lightdm but rather
accountsservice that is the source of the problem. And in fact I can see
some authentication warnings in the journalctl. Looking at the lightdm
log, there don't appear to be any significant gaps in the log entry
timestamps like people who have posted in other forums.
