Comment 41 for bug 802626

I also am experiencing the 60 second delay on startup with -14 and not with -13. According to the Ubuntu to Mainline map, 3.0.0-13.22 maps to 3.0.6 and 3.0.0-14.23 maps to 3.0.9. I bisected the commits over that range and determined that reverting the following commit corrects this issue:

It seems like there might be a history of this bug before -13, but this commit definitely exposed it more.

The fix for 818177 is already released for Precise but is still just committed for Oneiric.
