Hi, this issue is driving me a bit crazy because I have not been able to locate the cause of it. My laptop will hang for 10-20 seconds before loading *any* desktop environment with autologin enabled. However:
-If I hold the enter key at any time during the hang, it will immediately begin loading the desktop.
-If I happen to have a thumb drive inserted, it will not hang and immediately load the desktop
There is always a message in dmesg called "crng init done" immediately after the hang issue. Also tried disabling the network manager and that had no effect. Tried updating the BIOS and microcode.
I have tried LXDM and GNOME and they have the same issue. If I turn off autologin, the login window comes up without delay on boot, but turn on autologin and I get the hang issue again.
I tried loading a different distro (lubuntu) and the issue went away. But I'd really prefer to solve this with Arch.
Any help would be really appreciated.

So it's a kernel bug! I will test the haveged workaround and report back tonight. Thank you so much for the help.

The haveged fix that you have linked fixed my issue. I had spent an embarrasing amount of time trying to fix this, wish I came here sooner.
