Comment 0 for bug 1069183

I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.10 on my workstation.

After I input my password and press enter instead of instantly loading the desktop, I must wait almost half a minute before the KDE icons appear and then the desktop loads normally. Log-in used to take just 2-3 seconds while showing the KDE icons.

Here's my lightdm.log:

You can see that it takes about 25 seconds for the greeter to start loading my desktop
...

Also lightdm writes the file x-0-greeter.log which might contain info about the problem:

This bug doesn't happen if I enable autologin from the System Settings->Login Screen->General tab. In this case autologin is very fast without any delays. Here's my lightdm.log when autologin is enabled:
