Slow boot and missing log-in

Astroarch · 2016-09-04 09:42:01

Hello guys,
since time I experience a really slow start-up, more than one minute, and often a failing log-in that forces me to change console and try again.
Here is my configuration:

  done
  unset f

Ofter, when I type xstart what I see is this:

and I need to change console and try again.

How can I solve these issues?
Thanks!

hello were you able to resolve this because am facing the exact same issue and can't seem to find a solution my current workaround is to reboot or start GUI from a tty using startx

WorMzy · 2017-11-03 09:54:53

Then it's not the same problem then, OP couldn't even use startx.

Look through the recent topics about display managers not working and please don't necrobump.

Closing.
