@Daniel: Well, I couldn't exactly reproduce the extremely slow boot to a distorted GUI log in window . . . it wasn't exactly "zippy" but maybe it took two minutes to get from restart to log in window, which was in the proper position.
I ran the "journalctl" command and then the plan was to remove the "libc6 2.31-2ubuntu1" package . . . I tried to use GDebi to open you link to the regressed package, but GDebi said, "A newer package is already installed" . . . so then I tried to "apt rm libc6 2.31-2ubuntu1" . . . but it said, "Invalid operation rm" . . . . Then I searched synaptic with "libc6 2.31-2ubuntu1" and it found nothing??? I tried to get to root in the terminal and I guess I haven't been added as sudoer by U-MATE?? Kind of a pain . . . . So, for now I'm "stuck" on how to get that package regressed . . . do I have to use TTY? Does this package even exist? If so, how or why didn't synaptic "see" it as "installed" and/or give me choices to regress back to?? Looks like the journalctl file is showing the endless streams of "Failed to start process" . . . again?? Had this issue a couple days back and seemed to get it cleaned up in the TTY, now back? TTY2 seems to be "open for business" . . . . ** Attachment added: "journal.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1893952/+attachment/5407464/+files/journal.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893952 Title: very long boot/log in with log in window upper left corner?
