Hi all, I have a very similar problem. After a bit of digging I found an entry for 127.0.1.1 (notice: .1.1, not .0.1) in my /etc/hosts. I commented it and now the gnome starts fast like in Feisty.
But: why that entry is needed? localhost is on 127.0.0.1, no? Since 1986, no :-)? -- [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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
