[SOLVED] Long boot time after BIOS update

Hello,

after update of my bios, it takes a really long time to load into my desktop.

It's stuck all that time on:

Starting version: 250.3-4-arch
 /dev/nvme: clean xxx/yyy files, xxx/yyy blocks

And after like 90 seconds it's opening my i3wm normally.

Tried to google the problem, but really got nothing from it that would solve my problem.

Tried to reinstall NVIDIA drivers by:
1. downloaded their newest .run file (same version as installed, tho)
2. run

 nvidia-installer --uninstall 

3. run downloaded .run file.

But got the same problem

Link to journal logs from current boot

Thank you for every answer and help

Please post the journal from a relevant boot attempt.

3. run downloaded .run file.

Where were you recommended to do this? It was a terrible idea.
You should never try and install the nvidia drivers without using the packages in the Arch repos...

Why from the AUR? The drivers are in the official repositories.

Re: [SOLVED] Long boot time after BIOS update

Nvidia releases aren't beta for long, you add additional maintenance burden for no actual gain, the current nvidia-beta and nvidia package are on the same version.

Guys,
can you stay on topic?
I am not here to get advice on what nvidia drivers to use, rather how to fix my boot time.

Re: [SOLVED] Long boot time after BIOS update

Your main problem is

lut 15 00:08:42 kamil systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp4s0.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp4s0.device/start timed out.
lut 15 00:08:42 kamil systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device /sys/subsystem/net/devices/enp4s0.
lut 15 00:08:42 kamil systemd[1]: Dependency failed for macchanger on enp4s0.
lut 15 00:08:42 kamil systemd[1]: macspoof@enp4s0.service: Job macspoof@enp4s0.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

you have a service that waits for a device that  never appears. Probably the internal identifier changed due to the BIOS/UEFI update, you'd want/need to change that to enp6s0
