Debian Boot Sequence [Withdrawn]

I ran # systemctl disable apt-daily

You have to disable the .timer units (there are two) rather than the .service (which is not directly enabled), see my last post for the command you need.

Check afterwards with:

Code: Select all

systemctl list-timers

Boot time is still taking approx 60-70 seconds from power to login

Code: Select all

2 timers listed.
Pass --all to see loaded but inactive timers, too.

Note: I ran the disable command and it showed two files as being removed but the boot time didn't change at all. So, I re-ran the disable command then ran list-timers.

@Head_on_a_Stick: You have already spent an overly generous amount of time helping me with this and I don't want to impose on you any longer.

At the next Stable release I'm going to do a fresh install of that so I'm starting with a completely clean slate. I'm going to do a net install and then learn my way along as I install and add what I need.

In the meantime, a slow boot now with Testing is not a huge deal and I can live with it for the time being.

Thanks again
