delay on login Kubuntu

[FreeMinded]

Binary package hint: kdm, ecryptfs

In Kubuntu Lucid beta (clean install, updated as of april 2) there is a delay when login in. After typing the password and hitting enter nothing seems to happen for a few seconds. It is even possible to continue typing into the password field. After some seconds the login is processed. This is not a big issue but quite annoying.

kdm 4.4.2-0ubuntu5

This is on a Lenovo S10 Netbook Modell: 11G3G

Let me know if you need additional information.

This is still valid with kdm 4.4.2-0ubuntu6

It is annoying. It looks like it still waits for enter to be pressed.

This bug is still present in Maverick 10.10 with KDE 4.5.3 (also 4.5.1)

This bug is still present in Maverick 11.04 and up to KDE 4.7.
@Hagar: Do you also use encrypted home directory? It seems to be connected to that.

I guess ecryptfs has definitely it's share in this issue. I observe the following behaviour. On login in the console there is a delay aswell if the user has an encrypted home. With unencrypted home login is faster. This makes somehow sense as the users home need to get decrypted. I don't know enough about the login process to actually figure more details.
Still in my opinion there shouldn't not be delay in KDM after hiting enter. The user should get immediate feedback that his input has been received even though the process might take longer on encrypted home directory.

P.S. Haven't tried the same with GDM or the upcomming LightDM.

Hi
Is this still present on Kubuntu 13.10 or Kubuntu 14.04?
