(Very) long delay after logging in

[LittleStone]

Hello,

first of all. This is my first time trying to install/use linux. So be patient.

I erased the driver of my 2010 macbook pro.

I downloaded the Manjaro 250-5-manjaro (manjaro-gnome-21.2.1-220103-linux515) and checked, that it was not corrupted and flashed it from an SD Card.

I managed to install Manjaro but already had an issue: It took about estimated 20 minutes to half an hour until the dock in the liveOS and the installation menu appeared.

After I managed to install Manjaro the system boots in normal time but when i log in it takes a similar time for the dock to appear.

Furthermore the system sometimes wakes up after it went to sleep because of inactivity but most times not. Also most times it doesn’t find Wifi.

I would really appreciate to be able to fix this issues but am already thinking about trying another gnu/linuxOS…

So thanks for your help!

Hey,

You could try running in console systemd-analyze blame and systemd-analyze blame --user, which shows which services are taking the longest to start up.

That might give some ideas what is happening and possible further steps.

Have you encrypted the disk or partitions? Decryption could take quite a while.

More helpful would be output of

systemd-analyze critical-chain

[LittleStone]

Yes, i encrypted the disk.

systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time when unit became active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit took to start is printed after the "+" character.

Sorry. I had to replace @ with “at” because I’m only allowed to mention two users.

Welcome to the forum!

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

• Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button.

• Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

  ```
  type or paste code here
  ```

• Use HTML:

  <pre><code>
  type or paste code here
  </pre></code>

I’ve done it for you this time.

In the future, please edit your previous post rather than posting multiple times in a row. This is a support forum, not an instant messenger.

I would remove plymouth and also remove the entry from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and then run
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo update-grub

You can also
systemctl mask ModemManager.service

[LittleStone]

Thank you! I renmoved Plymouth with

systemctl disable plymouth….service

Nothing changed.

But how can I remove it from the file? Sorry I’m a real noob. I opened the file but there is nothing to find so I guess I have to do this per commands in terminal?!
