Debian 9 slow boot
Re: Debian 9 slow boot
Thank you. I have downloaded the procedure for setting up systemd-networkd, and it is not so difficult as I had thought.
[edit]Networking is now controlled by systemd-networkd. However, it appears that NetworkManager has not been completely removed. For one thing, the rapidly scrolling messages at boot time include two about NM: the first to say that it is not active, the second to say something about its dependencies. Second, the sub-directory /etc/NetworkManager is still present, with its contents.

Re: Debian 9 slow boot
NetworkManager has been completely removed. So too the directory under /etc. The network icon in the system tray indicated no activity even when my Net connection was live, so I discarded it. I could not find a replacement, which is not a handicap as my modem's indicator lights are visible. No colourful words are now showm early in the boot process.
Here is the report of systemd-analyze
And here is that of systemd-analyze blame
But this story is not a happy one. It takes over 40 seconds for the desktop to appear after the log-in prompt does.

Re: Debian 9 slow boot
How long did it used to take?...
But this story is not a happy one. It takes over 40 seconds for the desktop to appear after the log-in prompt does.
maybe something here to figure out why...
/var/log/lightdm
or some stuff getting started from here...
/etc/xdg/autostart
It's easy to tweak the stuff, I'm not sure what the problem really is? 40 sec is not a problem if you have a lot of things installed and set to run at startup.
If you want it to work like manjaro, look at how manjaro is configured?

Re: Debian 9 slow boot
Drop the display manager:
Then make sure that /usr/bin/startxfce4 is set as /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager and add this line to the end of ~/.profile to autostart the desktop after a console login at TTY1:
Code: Select all
# systemctl set-default multi-user.target # graphical.target will bring lightdm back
Code: Select all
[ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ] && exec startx

Re: Debian 9 slow boot
I want Debian to work as it used to work. Please read the first post in this thread.
Thank you. I seem not to have explained the situation well. The boot process is as it was (no log in required), but it has become much slower.

Re: Debian 9 slow boot
My suggestion will eliminate LightDM as the cause of the problem (if you still have the delay).
bw123's suggestions to compare Manjaro's configuration and check the logs are good ideas.

Re: Debian 9 slow boot
Thank you.
[edit] Pushing aside LightDM made no difference to speed and I had to use startx, so I set things back to what they were. I do not understand why you both are suspicious of LightDM, which does not appear in the output of systemd-analyze blame. Here is /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log:

your systemd-analyze certainly looks much better now.uthappam wrote:But this story is not a happy one. It takes over 40 seconds for the desktop to appear after the log-in prompt does.
unfortunately you seem to have a lot of stuff blocking the desktop. stuff that doesn't run under systemd directly.
stuff... that you need to find out what that is.
sorry the systemd route didn't help.
once you got all that figured out you can probably re-enable nteworkmanager and all that...
fwiw, imo over 40s just to load the desktop is a long time. too long.
even before i got an SSD, and used a 10-year old hard drive, that would've been waaaaay too long. i boot up (and shut down) my desktop twice a day.
