(Solved) New System Slow Boot

Lalabird · 2026-02-19 23:05:51

Hello, I am not quite a first time user, I had an arch machine I liked very much but it was probably well over a decade ago. I am working my way through a new install, and booting up seems to take much longer than expected. systemd-analyze says the userspace is taking over 1m40s to get moving. I'm still working at getting a gui so I can copy and paste things, but what logs are necessary to start troubleshooting this? Thank you kindly.

wifi or other network related stuff
how have you setup your network?

Could also be a failing systemd service (90s timeout)

what logs are necessary to start troubleshooting this?

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

This command gives back "Your network (2600:1010::/29) is blocked from uploading files."

My network is connected through network-manager's netcli. Simple hookup for a phone based wifi hotspot.

Thank you both kindly.

The range seems Verizon? Not sure why that's blocked.
Use a different pastebin service, the point is that, not how you share the journal.

Okay so googling this I think the problem might be that it's calling my interface wlan0. It was wlan0 when I was using iwctl in the live disk to connect but my interface when I use "ip link" is "wlp0s20f3". I think this needs to be changed but I'm not 100% where I need to make the change.

seth · 2026-02-21 20:04:29

The problem is that you've
1) a dhcpcd service enabled
2) the service is specific to a non-existent device

Disable that service, entirely. Don't run dhcpcd *and* NM

Lalabird · 2026-02-22 00:06:37

I have disabled dhcpcd via systemctl and have verified that it's no longer running and yet the issue persists. What do I try next? Thank you kindly.

Post a new journal.

I don't understand because when I go to the terminal and use "systemctl status dhcpcd" it reports as disabled? I used systemctl to shut it down and disable it but apparently it's still trying on boot. Is there a config file maybe?

Lalabird · 2026-02-22 21:44:15

Fixed it, apparently somehow dhcpcd@wlan0.service is separate from dhcpcd.

seth · 2026-02-22 21:44:36

use "systemctl status dhcpcd"

dhcpcd@wlan0.service: Job dhcpcd@wlan0.service/start

systemctl status dhcpcd@wlan0.service
systemctl disable dhcpcd@wlan0.service

Edit: no. fair.
