New to TW/Linux in general Boot/Shutdown issues!

Built a new system with a AMD 1800X, GA-AX370-GK7 from Gigabyte, 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, Samsung 950 Pro 256GB M.2, Nvidia GTX1080.

My issue is that it’s taking 5+ minutes to fully boot, as in at 2-3 minutes I can log in, but when I try to run “Systemd-analyze blame” it says “still booting up please try later”. So I wait another few minutes, now at around 5-10 minutes, I can finally run this command. It then shows that apparmor.services is taking around 800ms to initialize and some other services taking nearly as long.

My install of OpenSUSE TW was pretty stock, I did prevent the stock Mesa-noueve nvidia driver from installing, enabled a few other things (Thunderbird, Logitech/razer software).

I have been seeing both in startup and shutdown of “Unexpected IRQ trap at vector 07”. I am not near my machine at this time, hence the limited info right now. I will update this more later.

According to the following bug thread, there was a recent problem which might have been addressed with a bleeding edge release

You can try adding the kernel repo and then updating your system to try a newer kernel

TSU

I tried updating the kernel as suggested, and then tried installing Nvidia drivers. The kernel update didn’t do much for me, still getting the IRQ Vector 07 errors, and the Nvidia driver update hunhup at “installing (87/177) updates…<100%>”. I had to shut the system down, and I am now reverting back to win10. Even if i got the nvidia drivers, I would then need to install XEN, so that I could actually run the VMs I need. The issue with that is on a previous install I tried, where I initially installed XEN even after 20 minutes of it trying to load I gave up.

How is it that win10 loads within 7 seconds on my M.2 drive, and yet TW can’t even take less than 2 minutes to get to the login screen?!?! :dont-know: :confused:

On that last bit: because Win10 doesn’t really shut down. Called fast-boot.
The nvidia drivers are built against a specific ( running kernel default )kernel. You cannot use these same packages for a different kernel.

When you’re new to linux, start with Leap, not with TW. In Leap you can enable the NVIDIA community repo, and have the proper nvidia packages installed from that repo.

Actually, even when I unplug my machine and ensure all power is out of it, it will still boot up in less than 7 seconds, and in my BIOS I have fast-boot disabled. Then within windows 10 I have any setting relating to “fast-boot” disabled, nor do I EVER use the “Hibernate” feature.

As far as the second part, I’ll try it out and report back.

Run systemd-analyze blame and see what takes all the time

Boot time on any OS depends on what services you have setup.

Installed leap 42.3 along with the proper Nvidia drivers, but now whenever I try to login my screen goes blank. I have a GTX1080, I installed the three required X.G04 drivers from the community Nvidia GPU package, going to try the “upgrade” option on my install media and double check the installed components.

Now that I have Leap 42.3 installed I am getting boot times that are more in line with how fast my M.2 drive is. I will still do that once I figure out why my Nvidia drivers aren’t working.

Got Leap 42.3 up and running. So far it’s been stab;e, though it was tricky with having to remove nouveou twice (once at initial install and again after I used the commands from: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers to install said nvidia drivers).

You should not need to remove nouveau It does need to be black listed in the boot stack but the repo install does that for you.
