Thanks. One common reason for such delays are a missing loopback network device and a totally wrong system clock. What is the output of
ping -c 1 localhost date ? Does the ping work and is the date reasonable? (I. e. not 1970 or so). Also, your sesssion seems to be a wild mix of GNOME and XFCE (compiz and xfwm fighting each other). How did you get to this situation? You might try creating a fresh user and check if logging in as that user makes any difference. -- session start takes very long https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-volume-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
