Very long boot times

2art · 2024-05-23 18:03:54

Hello, today I ran into an issue after installing the `linux-zen` kernel. When I booted into it, I found myself stuck at "Reached target Graphical Interface", and the system would be stuck on that line for about 30 seconds before continuing to boot normally.

I figured the problem was with the kernel, so I just un-installed it and rebooted. After booting back to the normal kernel, I was now stuck in "Started Accounts Service", which was just 3 lines below the previously problematic "Graphical Interface" line. Same thing, need to wait 30 seconds or so before it continues booting.

I'm really clueless as to what caused this. Any ideas?

journalctl -b:

systemd-analyze

Startup finished in 993ms (kernel) + 1.166s (initrd) + 7.113s (userspace) = 9.273s
graphical.target reached after 7.072s in userspace.

systemd-analyze critical-chain

The time when unit became active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit took to start is printed after the "+" character.

graphical.target @7.072s
└─multi-user.target @7.052s
  └─systemd-user-sessions.service @7.042s +9ms
    └─nss-user-lookup.target @7.073s

Not really sure what other logs or info I should include here.. Thanks for any help.

Note sure if it is related to this issue but the system is encountering a kernel bug at the start of the boot process:

Did you add any udev rules concerning your GPU?
Do you get the same problems w/ using amdgpu?
