[SOLVED] Login screen takes too long to appear

[lbrunosouzati]

Only confirming, the 05/09/2018 update despite the kernel number being the same the slow screen login problem was solved, even without installing the haveged package I did a clean install with the gnome and the error is no longer detected.

Latest kernel update fixed me up too, installed the new kernel, uninstalled haveged and boot times are normal, the sun is shining upon the kingdom, the trees are full of fruit and even the birds are singing! Bet you never expected that from a kernel update now did you? But seriously folks, thanks to all who pitched in and got this fixed. This is the way it's supposed to work, maybe we could show this example to the world's politicians?

Yes, we came together as a community to break, and then fix, Debian.

Purely said in fun, of course. I have great respect and appreciation for everyone involved in maintaining and furthering Debian. Thanks to all the devs for keeping up this fantastic distribution!

I guess this issue is definitely solved for everyone. Thank you for your help and efforts!

Problem not solved for me.
Didn't have a kernel update in Debian Testing since 4.16.1.
Tried to remove lightdm and reinstall gdm, with same problems as in my previous post.
Folks, what was the version number of your kernel update ?

[cgirerd]

Oh sorry. The kernel update seems to have solved the problem for all the people using stable. I guess the update cycle for testing is different, and that you'll get a fix in a close future. Our kernel version is 4.9.0-6.

This is the first report of this in testing and is probably unrelated. I suggest you start a new thread and give as much detail about your system and the problem as possible.
