Hi, let me first cite from another mail on the opensuse lists.
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?
So now I completely replaced my hardware with a very powerful completely new one. Latest Intel core i5 Haswell + SSD. No software raid anymore. Just a very simple setup with one disk. And I'm still really wondering how you can boot that fast. My boot time is regularly still 45 seconds (almost exactly the same as with my old hardware). Hygiea:~ # systemd-analyze blame 30.883s systemd-udev-settle.service 5.825s network.service 5.427s network@enp0s25.service 3.034s cifs.service 1.000s systemd-vconsole-setup.service ... What is this systemd-udev-settle.service doing? Nobody could tell me so far. Could it be related to USB devices? I have some of them connected which have card readers attached. The network service also is a bit strange given that it is a static configuration. In the log file the big pause looks like this: 2014-02-13T07:13:01.986838+01:00 Hygiea kernel: [ 3.514367] sd 7:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 2014-02-13T07:13:01.986838+01:00 Hygiea kernel: [ 3.606936] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk 2014-02-13T07:13:01.986838+01:00 Hygiea kernel: [ 3.618720] sd 7:0:0:1: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk 2014-02-13T07:13:01.986839+01:00 Hygiea kernel: [ 33.722749] usblp0: removed 2014-02-13T07:13:01.986840+01:00 Hygiea kernel: [ 33.875790] usb 3-3: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd The other issue I still (or more again) have: shutdown does not work at all. It just stays on when it reached the final shutdown according to systemd's output and this is also after around 2 minutes. All that is really new since 13.1 and it got only worse with completely new hardware. This is really annoying.
