Slow boot times.
Within the past week i've been experiencing slow bootup times. ive attached a
systemd-analyze blame thing within the text document along with https://paste.centos.org/view/24a317c9 to show device info. Dunno what could've done it. its not a big issue as I only boot my pc up like once a day but its a new occurance.69 Replies
Reading the systemd-blame log, I get the impression that NetworkManager is having problems establishing a connection or initializing.
Shutdowns also take a hot minute as well.
@kade can you get me a full dmesg / journalctl log and a
systemd-analyze critical-chain?If I knew how to get a dmesg yes :happy_green_trees:
sudo dmesgYeah I don't see anything particularly wrong here
I'm out of ideas
I never had any ideas to begin with. I appreciate the help though maybe someone else has ideas
I see that you are using the testing branch of bazzite in the last week or so if I look at your pastebin. Is the boot faster if you boot the stable branch instead?
no @nickname suggested I try the testing branch to see if it fixed the issue and it didnt
I just switched to testing like 3 hours ago
ohhhh ok, never mind then 🙂
I have the same issue, very slow to boot and sometimes it boots into a black screen and I have to hard reset my PC
What hardware are you running
hard drive is nvme SSD
And how recent did this start to happen
ever since I installed Bazzite yesterday for the first time
That’s odd
Because mine was a month after I started using it
it's weird because when I restart for example it takes like a minute or two to shutdown and then it boots into a black screen instead of the login screen
I have to hard reset the pc to load it properly
are you using wayland or x11
wayland
that might be your issue with the black screen
but again I have no idea and just trying to get more information for the people who help here cuz i still have the same issue
any update on this issue? have you been able to fix it?
I'm using X11 now instead of wayland but the issue persists
Same. Using a docked laptop so it's especially annoying.
Same problem here. Running on desktop pc. I have to do a hard reset every time and then it boots normally.
I made these changes to the system settings, booting times seems normal now, however shutting down takes like 5 minutes
are you all on KDE Plasma?
im starting to think plasma 6 wayland (possibly X11) and nvidia drivers are having issues
for me it seems to occur due to the systemd-journal-flush service taking its sweet time, sometimes also ostree-finalize taking ups of 5 mins even after all the time taken during the rebase prior to the shutdown/reboot
for the journal-flush service I read about attempting to change the Storage=persistent in the config file, but I've no idea how or if it would help at all

Seeing something very similar with ~25s firmware times. I can make it go away with a fresh install, but today I rebooted from Fedora 39 to 40 and it was back
And I'm on Gnome
I thought I had fixed it but it came back
oh so it's happening on GNOME now
At least something very similar, yeah
UPDATE: I've since performed a manual update using Bazzite's System Update (had tried yesterday but it didn't seem to apply for some reason on reboot) and now upon testing a few reboots as well as manual shutdown and poweron, both on X11 and Wayland, neither the SDDM issue nor the boot/shutdown times seem to be occuring, will report again if they do
(also, my update seems to have had something related to kernel modules and, consequentially, kmod reinstalling nvidia)
I manually updated the system, but I still have the long shutdowns. Changing to Plasma X11 seems to have fixed the booting issues though
yeah, it returned for me too, so idk
I'll try that too, but I really need Wayland on the day-to-day, so I'll see if getting in the rhythm of logging out, logging back in with X11 and only then shutting down/rebooting every time helps
So I can boot up after updating from 39 to 40
But any subsequent boots on 40 are just a black screen with no login screen
sometimes the loading screen before the black scree takes a while as well
are you using wayland?
I believe so
haven't changed anything
Not sure why it would work for the first boot after updating then not any boots after that
try to change to X11, it fixed the boot black screen for me
Rolling back to 39 works
then running ujust update
yeah, this didn't help, I was using X11 and was rebooting to check if watchdog disabling would budge (it hadn't before, and spoilers, it still didn't) and once again, even with SDDM already set at X11, the long shutdown time and black screen on boot still occurred (had to do the dance of shutting down again and turning back on)
hmm
so it is booting and you see a cursor, right?
just nothing else?
no login screen
yeah
just blackness and the good 'ol adwaita cursor
and then upon reboot it's back to normal
but this is known already, although the cause I think still isn't
rebooting doesn't seem to work for me
or, well, not consistently
rolling back and re-updating always does, though
hmm, not sure, but every time it happened I just give the power button a tap, it knows to shutdown and then I turn it back on and it's good
because 39 always boots
right after the issue with the journal still persists, hence this topic
is there a way we can just rebase to a previous version I wonder? by now I'm pretty sure I can't rollback to before the update
i mean you could download one of the older images
then turn off the update timer
not sure where those are hosted, though
yeah, that's the thing, do we have where to pull them from?
I might still have the old one in my drive, but not sure
if I'm lucky I suppose that'd be a solution, but otherwise it doesn't seem optimal
I literlly just overwrote my 39 installation media
could try a fresh install of 40 but idk if that'd fix it
yeah, that's what I was thinking
but if I do a fresh 40, I lose my pinned 39
pull request seem to indicate a fix for another issue is in the works of being put in the iso, maybe if updating after that doesn't change anything I might give it a shot
unless I can figure a way to keep it
I mean, I don't know how laissez faire they are about this, but potentially someone here might be able to provide the old iso or otherwise, if it weren't a problem, I might be able to share mine if I have it
hmm
the again though, that wouldn't help, would it? isn't the image pulled at install time and it would just pull the current one?
actually I should have a 39 iso on my laptop
I'll check in a bit but if I have it, I should have both gnome and kde nvidia for bazzite 39 and then ofc the kde nvidia for bazzite 40 that was hosted shortly after official release
god it takes so long to shut down
:u
yeah, same
we probably shouldn't be populating this channel so much
might make it harder to check on later for review
yeah I have the iso from april 22
nicee
yepp, still have them, my 39 iso is from april 17
somehow it fixed itself
it did?
I have a similar output and still experience slow shutdown times due to journal-flush/ostree-finalize (if a rebuild occurs)
for me the original issue was slow boot times and now its fixed
ohh, true
mb
I did switch networks so maybe thats something to note because someone looked at my logs said networkmanager was being slow
in that case maybe this topic should be closed and a new one opened?
still need to check shutdown times as that was an issue but doesnt bother me
also doesnt seem to hurt to keep it open since slow boot times could be anything
fair enough, I should probably open another one for the separate SDDM issue though
