My PC has a SSD and has always been really fast to boot, but lately it takes much more time… systemd-analyze Startup finished in 2.041s (kernel) + 24.315s (userspace) = 26.357s graphical.target reached after 13.028s in userspace. Can anyone please advise on how can I fix/improve the services tha…

▶ This is the manual, unnecessary method, I have figured out the how to do it the better way, described below. Edit: After learning how to do it this way, it sort of makes sense why it didn’t work the first time. It also makes this much easier. After some searching, I came across this page , where the…

The solution here fixed it for me on one of my computers: [image] Fixing pkgfile-update.service failure Support Just adding this in case it helps anyone else. Adding RandomizedDelaySec=600 to the [Timer] section of the timer unit didn’t work and I continued to get the sa…

ooops… got this after editing and saved the file sudo systemctl edit pkgfile-update.service Editing "/etc/systemd/system/pkgfile-update.service.d/override.conf" canceled: temporary file is empty.

Urgh. Create this directory: sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/system/pkgfile-update.service.d Then create the file: sudo touch /etc/systemd/system/pkgfile-update.service.d/override.conf Followed by trying the edit again. If that doesn’t work, I can’t help 'til tomorrow, sorry. See …

[image] RicardoSimoes: Could this be related to nano? (see below override file name is weird). That’s just a temporary filename. I think @Mirdarthos meant sudo systemctl edit pkgfile-update.service --full, as their instructions should work for that. However if you’re going to override part…

It’s probably running because it missed a run whilst the system was off. I think this should work. :crossed_fingers: sudo systemctl edit pkgfile-update.timer --full Change the file like this. [Unit] Description=pkgfile database update timer [Timer] OnCalendar=daily AccuracySec=6h Persistent=no …

Slow boot - pkgfile-update.service takes 14 seconds
