After some reading I installed haveged as some issues indicated this as a possible fix. No dice, still have the issue, no improvement. On average it takes about 40 seconds to a minute between plymouth switching and the mouse cursor being drawn, about a minute and a half to two minutes for the greeter to launch. I've disabled Wayland which seems to speed up the latter process slightly but its barely noticeable. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.11 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-05-24 (294 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190210) Package: gdm3 3.28.3-0ubuntu18.04.4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.3.0-40.32~18.04.1-lowlatency 5.3.18 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 5.3.0-40-lowlatency x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip libvirt lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True mtime.conffile..etc.gdm3.custom.conf: 2020-03-13T17:07:44.727975 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1867405/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
