I have the same issue and tried installing the missing language support. Now I don't have just the minute-long wait between login screen and desktop startup, I have a minute of a black screen after it, another minute of a black screen with a mouse cursor, then another minute until the desktop appears.
I have also been having minute-long hangs in Firefox and Thunderbird where they would stop redrawing; afterwards, they'd return to normal. I don't know whether this is related, nor do I know how to verify what exactly is causing this bewildering array of malfunctions. The startx trick doesn't help. Which isn't too surprisinig because I'm experiencing the hangs after X has started. This means that Xubuntu is currently unacceptable for working with it on a daily basis - here's a critical bug that isn't even being triaged, much less fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996791 Title: Xubuntu 12.04 extremely slow login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/996791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
