Slow boot time with openSUSE 12.2 in a good laptop. Feb 10th 2013, 14:34 Hello, I installed Opensuse 12.2 in a new laptop two months ago and notice a slow boot time, now finally I am trying to discover why the boot is taking so long to finish. I am still a noob with linux, I am using it since version 11.4 mostly with Xfce desktop. I am struggling to find out what is causing the delay and I have also notice that the boot time is increasing over the time. I thought of asking for help in this forum. The laptop boot time was like that: > systemd-analyze Startup finished in 6807ms (kernel) + 38714ms (userspace) = 45522ms > systemd-analyze blame 31171ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service 30769ms systemd-modules-load.service 25792ms udev.service 1665ms SuSEfirewall2_init.service 1448ms remount-rootfs.service 1172ms NetworkManager.service ... In order to collect the log files just for one Boot I usually delete "warn" and "messages" files from "/var/log" before reboot. I tryed to analyze these two files but I couldn't figure out any possible source of problems. As "systemd-analyze" points out long times for the "systemd" services I am guessing that it could be a problem with "systemd" itself. I found out that "systemd" has a logging service "systemd-journald" that stores the log at "/run/log/journal/...". To my surprise the "system.journal.log" was more than 120MB big After deleting 120+ MB log from /var/log/journal/41ef233e76e7528b304b79b700000697/system.journal.log and rebooting I've got a significant improvement in the boot time. # systemd-analyze Startup finished in 6684ms (kernel) + 17854ms (userspace) = 24539ms # systemd-analyze blame 13228ms remount-rootfs.service 12545ms systemd-modules-load.service 8847ms udev-trigger.service 3705ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service 1413ms localnet.service 850ms cycle.service ... Big log files slowing down systems is not a novelty, but I still not pleased with the boot time and I still suspecting it is a problem with systemd. That is why I am attaching some log files to this thread and asking for any good soul to analize then point out what could be the the problem. logs from /var/log (.log extension added) warn.log messages.log systemd-journal systemd-journalctl -a > systemd-journal.log dmesg dmesg > dmesg.log systemd-analyze systemd-analyze blame > blame.log systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg (print screen: plot.png) Systemd configuration /etc/systemd/system.conf [Manager] LogLevel=debug LogTarget=syslog-or-kmsg SysVConsole=no Hardware: Dell Model: Latitude E6430 HD: 7200 RPM CPU: Intel Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz Memory: 2 X 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel HD 4000 Bios: "A07" "10/08/2012" System: openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) Desktops: Xfce 4.10 - most used Gnome 3,4,2.1 KDE 4.8.5 Thank you very much Best Regards Marcilio
