[12.3] systemd / systemctl is very slow

English Applications
#1

hi,

after updating to 12.3 i find systemctl rather slow. “systemctl re/start smb/network.service” takes 2-3 minutes, whereas before it took less then a minute. even runlevel switching, where i assume behind the “init” command now systemctl is used, takes like forever. dhclient is like 5 times slower with systemctl then without. anyone else experiencing this? thats quite annoying…

Verify the config files listed in “/var/adm/rpmconfigcheck”.

Interesting, they no longer activate it. Do:


su -
rcrpmconfigcheck

you can activate the service doing:


su -
chkconfig rpmconfigcheck
chkconfig rpmconfigcheck on

What’s the size of file /var/log/journal/<32bit#>/system.journal?

suggest a read of https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/483150-slow-boot-time-opensuse-12-2-good-laptop.html

127mb. deleted them and it seems to help.

thanks!

Check the setting of the network device in Yast - Network devices - Network settings - Network card, Edit, General tab. The activiation of the device should be set to “At boot” instead of “At cable connection”. In case of the latter samba waits for the network to start for too long.

And. … do something about this sig of yours. We’re not interested in what people hate, we’re interested in what people love. Bashing and ranting has never brought any good.

but it’s all the systemctl commands - including runlevel changes - that are slow. however it seems that deleting the logs helped.

all right, all right. but they make me nuts…

You are not the only one to think so, but I don’t put it on my sig :wink:

When troubleshooting bootup latencies, install the following and run “help” to view options and methods to display

# zypper in systemd-analyze
# systemd-analyze --help

TSU

#13

in file /etc/systemd/systemd-journald.conf suggest you set

SystemMaxFileSize=1M

or make it larger if thought necessary

cheers

ps. the contents of the journal can be read with cmd

systemd-journalctl

but root privileges are needed to see it in full
