Symptoms similar to Chaghaboo describes. System was fine after initial clean installation (complete format of hard drive) of Ubuntu 9.10. Installed on a Dell Inspiron 1501. After installation, I searched for hardware drivers within the Ubuntu GUI interface and installed the wireless drivers. [see below]
(Administration - Hardware Drivers - Broadcom STA wireless driver for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driverfor use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, andBCM4322- based hardware) Next, I used the update manager to perform the recommended updates. After updates the system suggests a restart to finalize installation of said updates. This is where the problem of hanging at the command line for 1.5 to 2 minutes takes place. I am able to do startx and log into the system GUI immediately but without wireless option. However, if I do this I *still* will be logged into the GUI by the system after the 1.5 to 2 minutes. This happens while I am already within the GUI! I will see the screen flash black - then a circular mouse image spinning - then the Ubuntu desktop with wireless keyring prompt - everything working properly at that point. The next time I shut the computer down or restart the computer, the command line prompt comes back with a 1.5 minute to 2 minute delay before going into the GUI. It is worth noting that this command line prompt can sit without any keyboard input and move into the GUI by itself after the 1.5 to 2 minutes have surpassed. I have recreated this bug now three times. I was relieved to find this forum suggesting this is a bug and not something I am doing wrong. Questions: Is there currently a known fix for this bug? If no fix is available, is there a work around? My current workaround thought is that I simply not install the recommended updates. It is NOT until I install the recommended updates that this bug begins. I am a new Ubuntu / Linux user loving the education! I am excited about this open source project and hopefully my experiences somehow will influence someone with more knowledge to fix this problem. I am a new computer science student at IPFW in Fort Wayne, Indiana! Hopefully within a couple years I am able to contribute more to this project.
