This was supposedly fixed by consolekit 0.3.0-2ubuntu7 by adding log rotation to the ConsoleKit history file:
consolekit (0.3.0-2ubuntu7) karmic; urgency=low * Install a logrotate configuration file for /var/log/ConsoleKit/history so that it doesn't get huge and cause ck-history to take a long while to run on login. ck-history already handles reading from rotated logs. -- James Westby Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:41:19 +0100 We'll see if it actually addresses the issue sufficiently. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- ck-history can take a *long* time to run, during which gdm is unusable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400863 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
