Manjaro KDE taking long to boot

Hello!
A noob here :grinning: before I post, I`ve read and searched through the forum for a solution but failed to find it.
P.S. before jumping to Linux my windows would boot up in about a 17 second

my laptop is Lenovo i7-6700HQ @2.60, 16GB RAM, 4GB NVidia GTX 960m, 1TB HDD

system-analyze
Startup finished in 8.656s (firmware) + 6.571s (loader) + 3.207s (kernel) + 29.684s (userspace) = 49.119s
graphical.target reached after 30.000s in userspace"

Do you have an encrypted partition?

If not then you could mask lvm2-monitor.service:

systemctl disable --now lvm2-monitor.service
systemctl mask lvm2-monitor.service

Faster boot can be achieved by using a SSD… :wink:

thank you for the quick replay, already did it, didn’t change anything :sweat_smile:

$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 8.519s (firmware) + 6.576s (loader) + 3.110s (kernel) + 31.729s (userspace) = 49.936s
graphical.target reached after 31.147s in userspace

also now I have a pop-up every few minutes asking for KDE wallet password by different apps (kded5, Vivaldi, but I don’t have any)

Please post

I would think the duration is linked to the use of a HDD, a nameable improvement is only to be expected if you are going to use a SSD.

Thank you, for your time
I will order my self an SDD :grin:
have a good one.

Yes, then your output may look something like this, sure makes a difference from a HD:

systemd-analyze critical-chain>

graphical.target @798ms
└─lightdm.service @1.267s +15ms
