Comment 76 for bug 128803

i too have a somewhat slow bootup time; nothing to the severity of many minutes, but still, a significant increase when compared to feisty.

i am running a IBM T43 laptop, and also gutsy is installed on a DELL INSPIRON B130. same problem with both.

one thing i do notice after looking @ ps output and also xsession-errors, is that my first error occurs JUST after gnome-panel loads for the first time (excluding a setuid error thru gtk+ that seems to arise from dbus?). on my laptop specifically (T43)---right after i log in---the top and bottom gnome-panels load very quickly (no BG image yet), just like feisty. however, before they are populated with any icons, the screen/mouse flickers and the panels disappear. this is when i experience about 10-20 seconds of heavy disk i/o time as others have described.

the interesting part about all that is the fact that nautilus is the very first thing that is loaded after the panels. others have claimed no problems when using xcfe or kde, so this (nautilus) seems to be contributing somehow? also, i have since read about similar issues regarding nautilus and gutsy specifically that did not exist in feisty.

until then.
