How long does the average system nowadays take until X starts up? If there is a black screen for a few seconds, so what? That's the time the initrd takes to load if plymouth is in there anyways ;-)
since 13.1 it takes around 2 minutes until my X comes up on my desktop machine and nobody can (or want to) help/tell me why. But I agree it was not long for 12.3.

I'm rather torn on this topic myself - as one of the maintainers of our branding packages I want the distribution to look slick and a nice boot process is part of that experience. On the flipside, I own a machine that boots so fast, every time I change the branding package for Plymouth, I need to build a second version with enforced delays to purposefully slow the boot process down in order to test whether or not the changes I've made are working, because normally plymouth is finished and X is launching before my LCD has changed it's resolution from Grub2 to Plymouth.. so in my case, Plymouth is actually adding needless seconds to my boot process and causing more flickers than if it wasn't there But as wolfgangs reply shows, my situation is not universal. If someone steps up and maintains it, great Wolfgang - have you installed systemd-analyze and run "systemd-analyze blame" and "systemd-analyze plot > output.svg" to get a picture of what is taking so long on your boot? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
