I have experienced a stubborn issue after upgrading my Ubuntu from 18.04 to 18.10. Every time I would like to login into my system via lightdm the login process takes a lot of time (more than 2 minutes). This is definitely an issue because this process took about half minutes in my previous version of Ubuntu. The issues is affected both GNOME and XFCE.

I have tried resolve issues provided by journalctl but I did not found solution regarding most of those problem. I am sure this problem affects many users. I have been searching solution and also workaround such as install another desktop environment would be appreciated.

Some infos:

From journalctl the most suspicious issues:

I have looked for solution related to this issue, especially portal service but I have not found anything else only a lot of signalization of this problem.

Can anybody help to solve this issue? Thank you advance.

I have completely reinstall the system, but this time I have chosen Lubuntu. The problem has been disappeared.

I am keeping this question opened because it seems the issue affects some users and there have been not any resolution yet.
