delay before desktop loads



I've been experiencing a long delay - upwards of 2 minutes before

the desktop on my Debian Sid loads and displays.

This happens no matter what desktop I try, Cinnamon,Mate or Icewm.

This is my hardware.

frank@franklin:~$ inxi

CPU: Dual Core Intel Core i5 660 (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 1453/1197/3326 MHz Kernel: 4.17.0-1-amd64 x86_64 
Up: 25m Mem: 266.0/3623.2 MiB (7.3%) Storage: 931.52 GiB (2.1% used) Procs: 158 Shell: bash 4.4.23 inxi: 3.0.18 


I have disabled apparmor, which I suspected but there is no change. Once I enter my
name and password into the lightdm logon window, the wait is upwards of  2 minutes before the desktop loads.

This is an extract of the journalctl log showing the long delay.

check the times... 12:04.46 .....12:06:39

Purged ntpd, no change so I reinstalled.

Strangely if I click the mouse on the blank desktop several times, then it will start loading, but
if I don't touch it, the 2 minute delay starts

This started a couple of weeks ago, before that all desktops loaded quickly.

How can I debug this ?

Thanks
