Title:
  unity-greeter takes very long time to load the wallpaper

Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When starting from powered down state, unity-greeter takes ~80 to 90 seconds to load the default wallpaper.During this loading time, entire UI is non-responsive giving the impression that OS has crashed.
  Once logged in after  this issue, the loading problem does not occur if I log out and log in again.

  How I arrived at this conclusion:
  When Login screen became unresponsive, I dropped in to console mode (cntl + alt + F2) and tailed the x-0-greeter.log file in /var/log/lightdm directory. The rendering of wall paper entry was around the 80 second mark. Once I saw the wall paper loaded message, i dropped out of console mode and switched to GUI mode (cntl + alt + F7). Now i was able to login normally.

  My guess is a problem with the driver for rendering/ problem in
  loading the wallpaper from harddisk. Just wanted to verify with you
  guys if there is indeed a bug or its just my laptop.

  I tried changing the wallpapers as well - still the problem persists.
  Once logged in there are no delays in any other operation (i.e no
  problem with CPU/resources to cause the late loading of wall paper)

  I use a Dell vostro 3500 - ubuntu 15.04
