Bug Description
In gutsy beta, when clicking on the gnome panel applet or the menu item to bring up the interface for selecting logout, restart, shutdown, etc. the first time every boot is extremely slow.
While x continues to work (mouse moves), gnome and all open apps appear frozen for about 20-30 seconds before the ui loads and the rest of the screen dims. It then works fine. If you click cancel and load it again, it works normally.
To post a comment you must log in.
After further testing, it appears that this is a problem with the gnome-power- manager. When I had a normal Feisty install, I removed the Power Manager option from my Sessions because I have a desktop, and I never use hibernate or suspend.
In gutsy, when the power-manager is not loaded on login, this problem occurs. If cancel is selected and the power button clicked again, it comes up at normal speed, but it has the buttons for suspend and hibernate. The problem disappears if the power-management process is loaded upon login.
To reproduce: management, select System > Quit
- under Systems > Preferences > Sessions, remove Power Management.
- reboot and login
- immediately after login and before running other processes that may trigger the start of gnome-power-
I assume that this is some sort of thing where it requests a reply from gnome-power- management and won't do anything until it times out, thereby freezing gnome.
