Good evening,
since about a week Xubuntu doesn't finish the boot process, until I push the Return-Button. When I select Xubuntu 12.04 in Grub, after some time the Xubuntu-Logo appears with a bar moving from left to right and back. I can only exit this state by pushing Return (Space seems to work also), then the normal surface for logging in appears.
I think that this behaviour started after installing some games from the Ubuntu-Software-Center. Here are some syslogs:

You can see the time-gaps when I waited for Xubuntu to the log-on-window. Onetime I waited for more than half an hour (I can send more logs if necessary). I tried to fix this issue with Boot-Repair, but without success. I'm not really sure if Cron is the problem...
Have a nice evening,
Markus
