I'm calling this a dupe of the DBus timeout, just tried here and when you log in, the greeter stays on screen for maybe 4s, then unity8 is shown within a second.
Note I'm using unity8-greeter (which you should, too, for testing the "real" login experience for unity8) :) ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1663106 [regression] Logging in to Unity8 takes 25 seconds (the default DBus timeout) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672401 Title: Lacks animated transition between greeter and session Status in Canonical System Image: Triaged Status in unity-system-compositor package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This makes me worry there's something gone wrong on every login. It's only this slow on a cold boot. It's somewhat faster on a second login. It'd be nice for there to be something like: * Splash screen * Progress bar * User's wallpaper (blurred?) during this time. Maybe it's faster on bare metal, but I'm waiting a while in a Qemu VM. == Note == The experience might differ depending on whether you use unity-greeter (X11-based, default in 17.04) or unity8-greeter (not installed by default yet), which is better suited for this.
