[SOLVED] Systemd-analyze

misal6666 · 2015-08-04 20:48:05

I am using openbox with arch installed on SSD. the boot taked 11 .88 seconds as of now.

Pastebin files for systemd-analze blame and systemd-analyze critical chain

this is the systemd-analyze ctitical chain command now reads on my system. I disabled systectl.wicd.service to achieve a faster boot speed thinking that i might be start that when I boot into my system from login manager.

to do that i entered systemctl enable wicd.service.

but i guess this is not enough as it did not start on logging in.
Do i have to start a daemon for wicd?

if so how can i start it?

also any other idea how i may boot a little faster judging from systemd-analyze

I started to learn how to create a bash script so that I could start WICD with it without having to enable WICD usign systemctl enable which costs me boot time.

I created a basic script which is as follows

I also edited sudoers file and added this line

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/misal/Scripts/wicd.sh

but this still asks for password. Is everything correct here? Am i missing something?

Also i have edited my grub configuration so that the grub does not ask me to choose what to boot and just boots to the default value. the grub doesnt show me the menu but I think it still waits for me to enter an input as I have a blank screen where i would have seen my grub.

would you please have a look at my grub configuration

Adding that line to sudoers will allow you to start your script without password when invoked as such:

sudo /home/misal/Scripts/wicd.sh

thanks for the reply.

Can i add that to my .xinitrc file to execute on boot?

EDIT:

tried that and its still asking for my password. I tried it running directly from terminal and it asked me for my password then too

Well, it won't execute on boot, but it will run when you start X. I think that will work from .xinitrc. Try it.

i have given the wicd.sh 777 chmod so that it has all permissions. I failed to mention that before. After doing all this it still asked me for my password. Did I do something wrong?

How did you run it? As to the permissions, that should work. Not the best choice allowing everyone to change an executable that you are going to allow everyone to run as root, but that is a different issue.

You must run the script through sudo. If you are (and it appears that you are) running through sudo,
I assume the sudoers file does not literally have "username" but rather has your user's name.
How did you edit /etc/sudoers?

i ran the script from terminal as sudo /home/misal/Scripts/wicd.sh and it still asked for my password which AFAIK it should not.

also I tried both putting username and my USERNAME i.e. misal in sudoers file. Which one is correct format?

here is what my suoders file reads

You are doing this wrong. If wicd is your issue, trying some hacky approach to work around systemd won't help.

Either live with the fact that it is slow, or use something faster like systemd-networkd or connman.

If you insist on this approach, remove the space between NOPASSWD: and the path.

got it to work. there was another entry of %wheel group that was overwriting my newly added line. removing that line made it work. thanks a lot for all your help.

misal is the correct entry. Let me go play with sudo for a bit...

Edit.... Never mind Glad it is solved.
