When I boot up, first the screen comes up to either login using the kernel highlighted or to choose advanced mode. I choose the kernel highlighted, first it says loading linux, it then, swtiches and loads up a tty1 login screen, I wait for about 20 seconds, do nothing, it’s asking for my login user…I still do nothing, it finally then goes into my sign in screen of my 1 and only user (me), and asks for my password, then it does the kde login thing and loads into the desktop.
My problem is the tty1 screen opening up takes a lot of time, in 42.1 it never did that. Wondering is this a bug, normal or something that went wrong during installation.
In 42.1 it used to load into the sign in screen right after the kernel was chosen…Never a tty1 login.
Is this on a fresh install or did you upgrade your system from the previous version?
Seems the login screen takes a long time to pop up therefore you see first the tty.
Maybe if we can see the boot time we can find the culprit.

I’m hoping this will help, I’m guessing the delay is being caused by wicked.service?? Sorry for the multiple edits, and yes this was from a completely fresh install, using an ssd drive for my / partition, and a disk drive for my /home partition if that info matters. I use this set up because I never lose any data when I have to do a fresh reformat, which I always do to the / partition to make sure its a fresh reformatted drive, in ext4 all the time, with no atime on the ssd drive
My boot time is even longer by now and sometimes similar to yours. So I am not sure. You use KDE though and some people already stated that it takes a relatively long time to boot especially with Leap 42.2.
But yes, wicked.service takes the longest time in your case.
Possibly an ipv6 problem?? That often takes a longer time to connect specially if the ISP does not support or supports it badly. Try turning it off
Hi gogalthorp,
How do I turn of ipv6? It’s worth a try but is wicked.services part of that? because that is what seems to be taking the longest to load. I’m not too swift on networking, but I read that ipv6 is for future use, for address space, that we will eventually run out of, but that’s not now, they were talking about in the future, I also read it is very insecure anyway…
I wonder if this is a bug and should I report it, how I would go about filing a bug, at least I will be contributing someway into the community.

I just researched how to turn off ipv6 in YaST, I did and got better results:
systemd-analyze

Figured… no this is not a bug it is a problem with your ISP or perhaps your router not handling the new standard efficiently and now ipv6 is now on by default. No big deal other then it takes a little longer for all the handshakes to work
It’s OK, that I leave it off right? I haven’t noticed any difference on getting connected to websites…
Generally but at some point ipv6 will be required. It is possible you may find some sites it is.
OK, thanks. I’ll leave it off for now. If I need to, I can always turn it back on in YaST…In the meantime I can always give FIOS a call, they’ll probably try to sell me a new modem/wifi router, that company would sell ice in the winter if you would buy it…lol
… but, by that time, one could assume the ISPs will finally be up to snuff.
I think that pretty much applies across the board to ISPs. ROTFL!
