[SOLVED] KDE slow start

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out why when I login to KDE now it takes roughly 20-30 seconds before the taskbar appears but after that it works normally.

here's journal -b http://ix.io/3Sdh

and here's journalctl -b -p err http://ix.io/3Sdi

Mar 14 17:06:19 Kisu-Archlinux systemd-networkd-wait-online[424]: Timeout occurred while waiting for network connectivity.
Mar 14 17:06:19 Kisu-Archlinux systemd[1]: Failed to start Wait for Network to be Configured.

I'm not sure does this effect how fast the taskbar appears etc but could it be that?

Re: [SOLVED] KDE slow start

You've at least systemd-networkd and networkmanager enabled in parallel. Pick one, disable the other.
Also post the output of "find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f"

Thank you for pointing out that network issue in parallel I disabled systemd-networkd completely and left networkmanager only on. It seems this fixed the issue it now starts normally without any delays showing the taskbar.

just for a good measure here's the command you requested even tho the problem is fixed if you can see any issues here I can fix them too.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE slow start

There're no further conflicting services.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
