[SOLVED] Long delay during boot and networking problems

I have installed Arch Linux on my laptop when I got it a few months ago. Recently, it has had a startup problem that I have been unable to figure out. The symptoms are that the system takes a long time (about a minute) to boot up to the login screen, where it used to take just a few seconds. When I am able to log in, networking is not working and none of the interfaces has an address assigned. Running `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager` gets that working, but I don't think the problem lies in NetworkManager.

I have tried backing out all the software upgrades to the point where I know it was last working, but that didn't accomplish anything, so I don't think the issue is related to an upgrade. I must have changed something in the configuration, but I don't know what. I have since upgraded everything to the latest stable versions.

Here is the boot log for the most recent startup. You can see a large gap between timestamps starting at 15:08:01. It looks like NetworkManager does start to connect to the wireless network, but is shut down because of another issue (dbus?).

Any ideas where to go next on this?

possible cause is homed, disable that service.

Re: [SOLVED] Long delay during boot and networking problems

Thank you, seth. Commenting out the "systemd" word in /etc/nsswitch.conf, as suggested in several posts, did the trick for me.
