Because other services that are being started take longer?
I have noticed this for quite some time but hadn't bothered about this until now.
When the system is booting there is a pause of 21.7 seconds when the kernel messages on the screen show 'Starting Login Service'. After this pause the login screen is reached in about 3 seconds.
Login Service has nothing to do with login screen, the name is misleading. Login Service starts systemd-logind which registers sessions, but it is not responsible for starting programs that let you log in (getty, [kgx]dm etc). So two events are not related.
Anybody know why there is this long pause, please?
Install systemd-analyze and look at graph that shows relative timing of different services. This will answer, what startup is waiting for.
I really don't remember when this started but if it is of any relevance this delay is present even in the just-upgraded kernel 3.11.1-2.

Basil, my machine shows the same behaviour. You can do what Andrey suggested, then open a console and enter the following commands. This will tell you how much time your system and the services need during startup: ~> systemd-analyze Startup finished in 5209ms (kernel) + 30604ms (userspace) = 35814ms ~> systemd-analyze blame 1555ms download.mount 1451ms cycle.service 1450ms systemd-udev-root-symlink.service 1355ms network.service 1319ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service 981ms systemd-remount-fs.service 967ms dev-hugepages.mount 966ms dev-mqueue.mount 866ms systemd-modules-load.service 517ms systemd-logind.service 363ms irq_balancer.service 328ms rsyslog.service 289ms home.mount 230ms boot.mount 136ms lm_sensors.service 133ms systemd-readahead-replay.service 121ms xdm.service 100ms console-kit-daemon.service -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
