Comment 15 for bug 1736011

I still have the same issue on my Desktop PC, now running 18.04, fresh install (not upgrade from the 17.10 that had this issue), it takes a good ~8-10 seconds for my desktop to show after hitting enter on the login prompt.

I haven't tried turning off gnome extensions yet, I only just saw that suggestion, but will try it when I get home. I have a laptop, a bit less powerful than the desktop, running the same gnome extensions, but which doesn't exhibit the login delay.
