I'm getting concerned about my log-on to desktop time of 30-40 seconds! It used to be 10 seconds. A while ago & possible* after some updates it slowed to the above [as it has been now for some time]. This has been my experience soon after [& still using] 12.04. It used to be: 9 secs when good on this pooter. 30 secs when first slowed, now up to 40 secs - no recent updates would account for it. Once loaded everything is fast & hunky dory. Instinct tells me wifi is slowing it - but no proof whatsoever.
I cannot pin down what happens to slow it down or, indeed, what magic occasionally brings it back to <10secs. All ideas [apart from get a new pooter, update to 12.10, move to 13.04] gratefully received. Running: Precise [12.04.2] Dell Dimension E520 Graphics card added is nVidia GeForce 210 PCIe Kernel is 3.2.0-37 Memory 2GB Processor Intel Core2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz × 2 nVidia driver 304.64 I'm sure there's a 100 other bits of info that would be helpful... please ask if wanted. I'm also sure a boot logger *might* help - but darned if I can remember name of it! Used it a long time ago but name eludes me, can't find it in synaptic searches - doh! Thanks in anticipation. -- Cheers, Bill B.
