Slow login

[Guest]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a slow login to KDE on any otherwise very fast desktop system. It happens on a new install of Wily with a new user profile.

Looking in the syslog I'm seeing

12/17/15 11:11:02 AM localhostname rtkit-daemon[1710] Supervising 1 threads of 1 processes of 1 users.

I see a delay of about 20 seconds after successfully starting backlighthelper. Looking at the log I've got no idea what might be causing this.

Things I've tried: Disabled screen dimming in power saving settings (because I saw backlighthelper near the delay), changing graphics drivers from nvidia binary blob to noveau (I'm using a GTX 970), purging akonadi and telepathy, logging in to another newly created user profile (same delay).

Does anyone here have ideas where to look further? I'm all out of ideas

Thanks in advance!

Hi, have you installed the latest updates? Because the following:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354230
which leads to slow login has been fixed.

Hi Hoder,

yes, I'm running plasma-nm 4:5.4.2-0ubuntu1.1 which contains the fix.

Have you tried Ubuntu Restricted Extras (yes, Ubuntu; not Kubuntu)? When I installed it, my computers speed and graphics improved considerably.
