23 -> 24 upgrade: Login, Logout times much longer

[kghose]

I'm on Thinkpad E14 G4. I've been running 23.X on it happily for months. It has been very responsive. Yesterday I upgraded to 24.04 and my login and logout times are painful. It takes around 10 seconds to go from entering my password to getting back to my desktop and same while logging out.

Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this? Thank you

PS. I also noticed 24.04 uninstalled tlp, which I was puzzled by because it seemed so random.

That is weird. Lets try to narrow it down a bit. Do you have a second window manager installed? If not can you install something very lightweight like xfce4 (ubuntu package should be xfwm4) and in the login window try to select that, and see if it also takes that long?

Also, before logging in, can you press CRTL + ALT + F4 to open a text-terminal, login there and run sudo journalctl -f to show the journal logs. With any luck it might log a problem, some kinda weird timeout or similar maybe.

You can get back to the graphical terminal (as in the graphical window manager / login screen) with CRTL + ALT + F7, I think, or F1.. Something between F1 and F12, not sure how this is on ubuntu

I looked through journalctl -S XXX for the time since I opened the lid and marked out time jumps in case something leaps out

I will try with a different WM, that's a great suggestion, but right now I'm settled into some work.

Also, I was a little imprecise when I said "login/logout". I don't actually login or logout of the window manager: this delay happens not only when starting a new WM (GNOME + Wayland) session but also when locking and unlocking the screen which happens when I close/open the lid.

Another thing that annoys me is that my cruising (as it were) power consumption has gone up by a whole watt. I spend most of my time in vim writing prose or code and sometimes compiling and I usually average 5.5 W but now I'm averaging 6.6 W with the same usage ...

I just found out it had uninstalled power-profiles-daemon too, which I could reinstall and get back, but for a moment I was disoriented and kept looking to see if they had moved that option somewhere else.

So, to be clear, it uninstalled profiles-daemon without notice of any kind ?

(it being Ubuntu 24)

Yes. Because I had it in 23.X, upgraded to 24 and then found it missing when I eventually went looking for it. So that's two things now: tlp and the daemon. Both are power related and I know that 24.04 upgraded something power related, so maybe there's a connection there ...

Incredible. It must feel threatened in some way.
