Manjaro KDE plasma boot time is more and RAM utlilization is high

Hi,

I have been using Manjaro KDE Plasma os for quite sometime. Earlier my boot time was pretty normal and the RAM utilization was under par. But suddenly something got break and I could see the boot time have increased and my 8GB ram is utilized more for my brave browser. Can somebody assist ?

Take a look at the output of systemd-analyze blame

Hey @sampath, you can try running systemd-analyze blame --user to check what is consuming so much time in userspace.

Most of the time you can disable this one without issues. For the rest you have to decide what actions to take, e.g. docker.

@CyberOto - can you let me know what command to disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service ?

For docker should I need to reinstall ? will it fix the issue

Disable and mask NetworkManager-wait-online.service. If I don’t mask the service it always starts anyway.

sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl mask NetworkManager-wait-online.service

you can try sudo journalctl --flush as mentioned here: Slow system boot time

@chomsky --Thanks for the input, have executed the commands.

tried flushing the system.

I tried rebooting the system but still the docker resources are consuming more.
I have killed the running container but still see some spike in docker service. Will a reinstallation of docker fix the issue ?
