    long delay between "pink screen" and login dialog

    I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (kernel 2.6.31-24). After booting, when the "pink screen" comes up, the login dialog doesn't appear for about a minute, and the KB and mouse are frozen. It takes another 30 seconds before the KB and mouse unfreeze and I can type in my password. How can I fix this?

    Which Graphics Card do you have?
    Execute this in Terminal :
    Code:
    lspci | grep -i vga
    grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Post output here.

    The mobo has embedded nVidia video. I use the restricted nVidia drivers.

    $ grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    How did you install Nvidia Driver? Did you update Ubuntu recently?

    Try to re-install Nvidia driver using System - Administration - Hardware Drivers option.
