I just installed xbuntu on a new netbook (acer ao756) and I believe I run into this exact same problem: After I enter my password and hit return, it takes a long time to start xfce. I checked /var/log and found some strange error messages in three log files, all seeming related to lightdm. Note in particular log file #3, the warning at 36sec and at 86sec (and more to the point, the time gap preceeeding these two).
I run xubuntu 12.04 on my desktop as well and I have never experience this delay between login and xfce starting. The desktop does have higher spec and to my surprise I have the same x-0-greeter.log error (log file #1) before, but lightdm on the desktop has no warning message (log file #3). All, this slow-login problem on the netbook happens often but not always -- 50-60% of the time? One more thing: the directory /usr/share/themes/Greybird-lightdm has a lot few files/folders than other themes (e.g. Default). I wonder if this is an xfce thing or it is a general lightdm problem (see log #1 for example). Other than this problem I really love this little netbook. Thanks for your help! -------------------- Error log #1: /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log (lightdm-gtk-greeter:1381): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error : gtk-widgets.css :1175:60: Failed to open file '/usr/share/themes/Greybird-lightdm/gtk-2.0/resize _grip.png': No such file or directory (lightdm-gtk-greeter:1381): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-widgets.css :1240:50: Failed to open file '/usr/share/themes/Greybird-lightdm/gtk-3.0/progre ssbar.png': No such file or directory (lightdm-gtk-greeter:1381): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:76:29: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory (lightdm-gtk-greeter:1381): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:77:33: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory ----------- Error log #2: .x-session-errors openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 xfce4-settings-helper: Another instance is already running.
