I was seeing very slow Gnome load times as well. After reading a "misconfigured loopback" comment above, I checked my network interface settings, and sure enough, I had configured a static IP address for my ethernet interface and the slow startup would happen only when I didn't have the ethernet cable plugged in.
I mostly use my wireless interface, so I set the ethernet interface back to "roaming" and the problem was solved for me. So, I suspect the long load times are due to a network-manager timeout or something like that. -- [Gutsy] very slow gnome startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
