[SOLVED] slow boot after fresh installation

[luksch]

Hello,

after I have been trying out several Linux distributions I decided to switch to Mageia 6.

I completed the installation process without any issues. However, when starting the system there is a major delay before the window system is started.

There seems to be an issue with the

Code: Select all

systemd-login

service which is required by the [img]pam_systemd[/img] module, as indicated by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817395.

Code: Select all

Jul 19 20:30:39 tower.churchwood.at kernel: reserve setup_data: [mem 0x000000009e4b2018-0x000000009e4cee57] usable
...skipping...
Jul 19 20:31:08 tower.churchwood.at su[971]: pam_systemd(su-l:session): Failed to create session: timeout: Die Wartezeit für die Verbindung ist abgelaufen
Jul 19 20:31:08 tower.churchwood.at su[971]: pam_unix(su-l:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)


By the way, I really like Mageia and I will continue to use it as my native system. Thanks for your great work!

Yours,

Lukas

It might help if you could attach the full journal log for a fresh boot, and also the output as root from

Code: Select all

systemd-analyze blame --no-pager
systemd-analyze plot > boot.svg

(for the last one please upload the resulting boot.svg bootchart)

Hi doc,
the files are attached in this post.
Thanks for your answer!

The issue seems to be the 31.122s wait for mandriva-everytime.service

Please try to disable it as root via

Code: Select all

echo HARDDRAKE_ONBOOT=no >> /etc/sysconfig/system

If that still doesn't help try the hard way by masking it

Code: Select all

systemctl mask mandriva-everytime.service

Thanks a lot, your solution worked. Despite seeming important the `mandriva-everytime` service is not required. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot, your solution worked.

Which one in particular? And could you please add the output as root of

Code: Select all

time dkms status

[luksch]

The first one did the trick. I didn't have a need for trying the second one.
