Comment 4 for bug 160535

I can confirm that the problem is possibly in relation to the Nvidia restricted drivers (nvidia-glx-new).

I had just finished installing Gutsy on the 7th Dec 2007 (yesterday), without using the Ubuntu restricted Nvidia driver. I used Envy to install the new Nvidia drivers, and the system was running fine (no slow login issues). Envy also creates its own packages called nvidia-glx-new and nviia-glx-new-dev.

Today (9th Dec 2007) linux-ubuntu-modules was updated. But before reboot, I had used envy to uninstall the Nvidia Driver. Envy removed nvidia-glx-new, nvidia-glx-dev, then (I Think) downloaded and installed libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-dev. The only thing that remained was the kernel driver : - nvidia-kernel-common (20051028+1ubuntu7)

I used Envy to reinstall the Nvdia driver. Envy did not remove the libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-dev packages.

I then rebooted and found myself with the slow gnome login problem.

I Must see what happens after I disable the restricted driver using the Restricted Driver Manager. Or just reboot after I uninstall the Nvidia driver (using Envy).

I'll report back.
