After further testing, it appears that this is a problem with the gnome- power-manager. When I had a normal Feisty install, I removed the Power Manager option from my Sessions because I have a desktop, and I never use hibernate or suspend.
In gutsy, when the power-manager is not loaded on login, this problem occurs. If cancel is selected and the power button clicked again, it comes up at normal speed, but it has the buttons for suspend and hibernate. The problem disappears if the power-management process is loaded upon login. To reproduce: - under Systems > Preferences > Sessions, remove Power Management. - reboot and login - immediately after login and before running other processes that may trigger the start of gnome-power-management, select System > Quit I assume that this is some sort of thing where it requests a reply from gnome-power-management and won't do anything until it times out, thereby freezing gnome. ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-power-manager -- Shutdown interface slow to load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
