2012-05-08 21:51:56 Orbital_sFear summary Xubuntu 12.04 /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon doesn't accept dbug messages Xubuntu 12.04 extremely slow login
2012-05-08 21:53:18 Orbital_sFear description The symptom to this problem is that, after successfulling entering your login information, the system takes about 85 seconds to boot. The real issue occuring is that /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon isn't being started correctly by ligthdm. The accounts-daemon wont accept dbus requests, and so the dbus timeout is hit during boot. Before I start, here is a run down on my machine/setup: Intel I7. Xubuntu 12.04. Encrypted home drive. Running compiz. Enabling the log files on lightdm, the follow warnings are displayed (Notice the times): [+11.58s] DEBUG: Greeter quit [+36.60s] WARNING: Could not call SetXSession: Timeout was reached [+61.63s] WARNING: Could not call FindUserByName: Timeout was reached [+61.63s] DEBUG: Dropping privileges to uid 1000 [+61.63s] DEBUG: Restoring privileges [+86.65s] WARNING: Could not call FindUserByName: Timeout was reached If the /usr/lib/accountsservices/accounts-daemon is restarted, after the lightdm login screen is displayed, but before a login, then xfce will start immediately. Otherwise boot times take about 87 seconds. Also, it was found that the program d-feet, is unable to retrive valid methods from /usr/lib/accountsservices/accounts-daemon before it is restarted. After the deamon is restarted, all dbus methods are visuable and communicate correctly. A temporary "fix" has been posted: 1. Login 2. cd /usr/share/xsessions 3. Edit xubuntu.desktop: . Replace the follow: Exec=startxfce4 To read: Exec=startxfce4-modified 4. cd /usr/bin 5. Create a file called startxfce4-modified, and store the following script into it: #!/bin/bash #Restart the accounts daemon ps -aef | grep accounts-daemon | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9 /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon & startxfce4 6. Ensure the permissions are correct on the script: sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/startxfce4-modified 7. Reboot For descussion on the problem, see the following thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970326 The core issue is that /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon doesn't accept dbus messages on boot.
