Long time on Plasma 5 splash screen when booting
Hi,
I have an Arch installation on SSD drive and my system booting in 3-5 seconds. When I run Plasma 5 desktop it takes about 20-30 seconds until finish boot. I see only Plasma splash screen and progress bar, so I don't know what need as long time to boot.
I have two questions about this situation.
First:
Is possible disable Plasma splash screen and instead of this display only text informations like while "core" Arch is booting?
Second:
Where are some logs from running only graphical environment? I would like to know why my Plasma starts too long.

Re: Long time on Plasma 5 splash screen when booting
Where are some logs from running only graphical environment?
Either /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log, I'm not sure which one Plasma uses.
When you say "Plasma splash", do you mean Plymouth?

Yes, sorry, I didn't know this has another name 
I found info about disable it if grub is using, but I have UEFI and choose gumiboot as my boot manager and in my config files under /boot/loader i don't see any information about that.

It's not another name. Plasma splash and plymouth are two different things, which one are you referring to?
Plasma logs everything to the systemd journal, run
$ journalctl /usr/bin/plasmashellto check the logs.

System settings -> workspace appearance -> splash screen -> none

If I try tu run this I get output:
$ journalctl /usr/bin/plasmashell
Failed to get journal fields: Cannot assign requested address
-- Logs begin at śro 2015-07-15 22:38:12 CEST, end at nie 2015-07-19 18:48:08 CEST. --System settings -> workspace appearance -> splash screen -> none
This get black screen, but for me it's better than theme

Probably I was using plymouth, but now I uninstall them, and it looks like plasma is loading little faster.
