Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
My system uses a very slow USB thumb drive as it's main disk. When logging in,
the greeter pauses for a moment after the first character in the username or
password is entered and loses the next few keystrokes if they are typed in
quickly.
For example, if I were to quickly type "lightdm" as a username, the text that
would end up in the username box would be "ltdm".
This happens during bootup when the disk is being accessed by services which
are still starting and the system is consequently fairly heavily loaded. It
appears that GTK or lightdm loads something after the first key stroke which
takes an amount of time which is longer than the time between key strokes.
Waiting for the cursor to re-appear after typing the first character before
continuning to type in my username or password works as expected, however is
less than ideal as I type them by muscle memory.
I would expect that this would be reproducable with a virtual machine running
off an old or slow thumb drive. I find that physically smaller thumb drives
have slower write speeds, which seems to be the limiting factor.
Thanks,
Julian Calaby

Followup-For: Bug #801729
Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter
Dear Maintainer,
This is not a bug with lightdm-gtk-greeter, it's something more
fundamental - I believe it's USB "auto" power related, as it also
appears when logging in on the console.
Sorry for the noise, I pulled the trigger on this one a bit early.
Thanks,
