Leap 15 takes so much time to boot

torbido · June 10, 2018, 9:53pm

I guess the picture tells what is taking so much time in the boot process. I hope it’s clear enough.

Please don’t put output between QUOTE tags, but between CODE tags, the # in the editor layout ribbon. That forces monospaced font leaving ( most ) table layouts intact. I’ll edit this post of yours, so you can see the difference

EDIT: Mmmm, doesn’t parse nicely once put as a quote

knurpht · June 10, 2018, 10:22pm

I don’t see the UUID that’s mentioned in the pic. Is it an external disk ?

Please post output ( between CODE tags ) of

I plugged an SD Card before, but when I saw error about SD Card at the boot process, I removed it.

It may help to have some history of this sysgem. If you had SD cards
plugged in before and those are what the system is now after (but they are
not there now), then you may waiting on those timeouts. Without matching
entries in /etc/fstab you may want to try the following:


systemd-mount --list

Otherwise are you using Apparmor? You could potentially disable that; on
my new VM (server only) it took a whopping two (2) seconds to start, and
lvm2-monitor took under one (1) second.

Maybe your disks or processor are just slow too, causing slowness
generally as all of these times seem high (nscd took my VM 99 ms, but over
fifty (50) times longer on your box).

Good luck.

I’ve disabled App Armor just now. What does it do btw?

nrickert · June 11, 2018, 2:04am

What’s the output from:

grep resume /etc/default/grub

I ask, because I had a similar problem on one of my systems, and that’s where I found the explanation.

torbido · June 11, 2018, 3:10am

It takes more than the usual time it suppose to take to boot the system, and as you can see, it’s trying to boot a device with UUID that doesn’t exist for 1.30 min.

grep resume /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b97fe28f-2aca-4105-8056-020d2b738b75 splash=silent quiet showopts"

nrickert · June 11, 2018, 3:26am

That’s your problem. Edit that file (as root), and change that line to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/9d2d9f88-44e8-4d8a-a8a0-61469c451f30 splash=silent quiet showopts"

And then, run (while still root):

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

The reboot and see if it now boots faster.

By the way, I got that UUID for your editing change from what you posted earlier for “/etc/fstab” – I took it from the swap line.

You have been bitten by Bug 1071354.

torbido · June 11, 2018, 3:28am

I entered to bootloader configurations in YAST and removed that line. I guess that it will work fine now.

Thanks man.

torbido · June 11, 2018, 3:33am

Sorry, I didn’t see your last comment. I will do what you’ve said.

torbido · June 11, 2018, 3:42am

Now, It’s booting faster without showing the same error. Thanks man.

That won’t work as all layout blanking is already gone as soon as it is stored in VBulletin.
