[SOLVED]Slim+XFCE4 boot takes terrible long time.

it used to work great.
But from the day I don't remember it take terrible long time for booting xfce4.
Here is the log of boot.

9月 21 16:03:48 x230 slim[363]: (xfdesktop:418): libxfce4ui-WARNING **: ICE I/O Error
9月 21 16:03:48 x230 slim[363]: (xfdesktop:418): libxfce4ui-WARNING **: Disconnected from session manager.

Maybe that is the reason?
I don't know what that mean.
Or any other message you need, please tell me.

thanks for all reply. ;D

try disabling slim and try to startx manually from command line. does that take a long time as well or does this only happen with slim?

I've try gdm, it also take a long time.
And next I mount /var/log to tmpfs, then it boot very quickly.
I think that is something wrong with journal, but I don't know it exactly. Whatever, it "SOLVED" :>(

In that case your issue is probably caused by systemd journal getting too big and fragmented.

You could just remove everything in /var/log/journal and reboot to clear the logs (althought there could be more elegant way to do that),
and I recommend setting size limit for journal to prevent it from growing too big in the future.
