...when the boot process reaches the stage 'Starting Login Service'?
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. Thanks for this, but I see no graph when I run systemd-analyze - even with the 'plot' option which you mention later. When I do run 'plot' all I see are pages and pages and pages of meaningless - to me - output.
Could you make it available?
OK, if you insist :-) . But I am sending it to you personally as an attachment in a separate message 'cause it is 437Kb big.
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.
