Hello,

@brtza

5min 52.222s man-db.service

That took quite some time, but should not bother you next reboot. Is started by man-db.timer that is daily …

[chomsky]

the command mandb -d prints debugging informatlion, it might help out the more knowledgeable users on the forum …

[brtza]

Ok, thanks guys… so no need to worry about it ?

[bogdancovaciu]

Well, if takes the same amount of time if you reboot now, then i would suggest some investigation. Make a test.

If does the same only tomorrow i would still think an investigation is required. If your system has a rotational HDD i still think 5 minutes is a lot, but then depends if is a 5400rpm or 7200rpm HDD… I can only speculate at this point.

Ok, I will test it for today and tmrw.

I have SSD

@brtza

I have SSD

Some SSD and MVME devices require this schedulers to work better

XFCE Keyboard shortcuts delayed and firefox freeze after login

Switch to another kernel, that one is EOL. I usually recommend no swap partition on SSD and NVME drives, but instead use a swapfile or systemd.swap Also, not sure if @BS86 made a tutorial already about, or mentioned it (had no time to check), but on the old forum he talked about this: Also, do you have haveged installed and the service enabled?

Give it a try.

I think I did something wrong xD

[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ echo bfq > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler
bash: /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler: Permission denied
[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ sudo echo bfq > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/schedul
bash: /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/schedul: Permission denied
[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/low_latency
cat: /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/low_latency: No such file or directory

[megavolt]

Nope you forgot the magic command sudo.

sudo echo bfq > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/schedule

@brtza

[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ sudo echo bfq > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/schedul

ah i see now, sorry…

[brtza]

Nope, even with sudo I got same output

[megavolt]

hm… do you get some out with that?

cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler

i get this on my sda:

cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler 
[mq-deadline] kyber bfq none

What do have in /sys/blocks/ ?

ls /sys/block/

[brtza]

[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler
[mq-deadline] kyber bfq none
[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ ls /sys/block/
nvme0n1

[megavolt]

Here is a nice guide how to do it:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/block/switching-sched.html

try it as full root: sudo su then the command:

echo "bfq" > /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler

[brtza]

Got it :

[marko@marko-hpenvyx360convertible13ar0xxx ~]$ cat /sys/block/nvme0n1/queue/scheduler
mq-deadline kyber [bfq] none
