I have tried to strace gnome-session as stated in http://live.gnome.org/GnomePerformance/LoginTime
The session died quickly, so this approach didn't wok. I added a new session type in /usr/share/xsessions/ and replaced 'gnome- session' with 'strace -ttt -f -o /tmp/login.strace /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome- session' This works fine but strace keeps running even after login. If you kill strace, then you'll get logged out and have a nice log file in /tmp/login.strace -- [Gutsy] very slow gnome startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
