Description Michael Mulqueen 2010-09-07 15:53:06 UTC 
Ubuntu Maverick (10.10 development branch)
gdm 2.30.5-0ubuntu2

When gdm loads, it just displays the purple-y Ubuntu background until I wiggle the mouse, and only then does it display the user selection dialogue. In Lucid, the background would appear and the user selection dialogue would follow almost immediately afterwards, with no mouse stimulation.

Also, but perhaps unrelated, after authentication, the dialogue disappears and it takes absolutely ages to progress from the purple-y Ubuntu background to my logged in desktop (as in my user session doesn't visibly start for ages).

michael@Vanadium:~$ lspci | grep -i graphics
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

All of these things are regressions, everything was really very fast under both Lucid and Karmic.

Previously reported downstream on Launchpad and was informed that it is an upstream bug. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/631717
