Aurora is slow to boot

General
1

Hi all,
I have just installed Aurora and all is working already, took me less than 1 hour. Before I continue I better explain what I have and how I installed Aurora so you get the complete picture.

I used Fedora Kinoite with manual partitioning. I created the following partitions:

UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /           ext4    defaults                   1 1
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /boot       ext4    defaults                   1 2
UUID=xxxxxxxxx                            /boot/efi   vfat    umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /home       ext4    defaults                   1 2
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx none        swap    defaults                   0 0

192.168.2.228:/nfs/Public                 /mnt/NAS_WD nfs     x-systemd.automount        0 0

This has worked for me for many years.

I added (layered) the RPM-Fusion repo’s (free and non-free) and installed the Nvidia cuda driver. This was the only thing different from the stock install, no further layers, no containers, just Fedora with Nvidia.

Now I have installed Aurora and I formatted the 3 existing partitions /, /boot and /boot/efi while keeping my home partition. I just mounted that partition to /home.

When I now boot I get:
the normal black screen with the laptop logo which disappears after more or less the normal time period,
the Grub list, which also disappears fast,
a screen with the laptop logo, below that a rotating line and at the bottom of the screen the Aurora logo. This screen is visible for over a minute before I finally get the log-in screen.

In Fedora (39, 40 and 41) this screen would make way for the log-in screen in just a few seconds, now way more than 1 minute.
What could be the reason for that?

Since I don’t have inxi installed and would prefer not to do that, I copied info about my laptop from the KDE settings:

Operating System: Aurora 41

Thanks.

Just to check, you could run systemd analyze, here is mine (bluefin-latest):

❯ systemd-analyze 
Startup finished in 4.820s (firmware) + 5.435s (loader) + 884ms (kernel) + 14.038s (initrd) + 7.231s (userspace) = 32.409s 
graphical.target reached after 7.199s in userspace.

Then if you want to see more detailed report, run systemd-analyze blame

Hi and thank you for your answer.
My systemd-analyze looks like this:

$ systemd-analyze 
Startup finished in 20.152s (firmware) + 6.940s (loader) + 3.322s (kernel) + 1min 27.487s (initrd) + 10.338s (userspace) = 2min 8.241s 
graphical.target reached after 10.306s in userspace.

As you can see it takes much longer than what you see in your computer, especially initrd.

systemd-analyze blame shows me this:

Do you have any idea what is wrong in my system cause I don’t? I am reading about dracut-initqueue.service but have no idea what it is and if I need it at all.
On top of the list I see brew-update.service taking almost a full minute.

As said I never had this in Fedora Kinoite, there boot would go pretty fast (like in your computer), but now I use Aurora it is totally different.

4

Is it the same with every boot? Im not an expert on any of this but looking at that the biggest culprit is brew which for some reason runs the update service and takes over two minutes.

You used manual partitioning when installing aurora? Maybe there is something leftover if you didn’t wipe the partitions.

Maybe backup needed stuff and do installation with the automatic partitioning and delete the old partitions with the “reclaim free space” option dueing the partition screen (should be a checkbox)

5

Yes, it is with every boot. When you say brew takes 2 minutes, isn’t it so that the list shows the time a service is ready? In other words it starts at 1m 20 sec and finishes at 2m 15 sec, meaning it runs for just under 1 minute?

I did reformat the partitions /, /boot and /boot/efi so that can’t be it. I did keep /home to save me time during installation. This means all the settings I had in Kinoite are still there and yes, maybe that is what is going wrong now.

I will continue using it like this for now hoping somebody can help me fix this and if not, I will just have to re-install which is no problem but it takes some more time than what I did this morning.

Thank you again for your help, much appreciated.

It really does look that most of the operations on your end take way too long compared to my fresh installation from yesterday. Kind of strange though as brew is not installed on Kinoite

7

Yeah they do. So I guess there is no other way for me than to do a re-install and this time from scratch.
Thank you again for your help.

8

You won’t believe it. I was ready to re-install, almost booted from the USB when I thought of something I wanted to check so I booted from the harddrive and I saw it was much faster now. So I did another systemd-analyze and this is the result:

$ systemd-analyze 
Startup finished in 17.872s (firmware) + 7.091s (loader) + 3.322s (kernel) + 10.444s (initrd) + 10.475s (userspace) = 49.207s 
graphical.target reached after 10.439s in userspace.

Not as fast as yours (your computer is probably faster than mine) but much better than what it was. Problem is I didn’t change anything so I still have no clue what it was, except threatening with doing a re-install.
So for the time being no re-install, everything is working great and I can always do the re-install later when it is needed.
Thanks.

9

are you using a HDD and not a SSD?

10

I use a Samsung nvme disk with a high data throughput. It is the same one as I used in Fedora Kinoite, which did boot at a normal speed.
But as I wrote already it is much better now. I think it had something to do with the update software which was running the first few times I booted, later on it didn’t which lowered the time. I saw that when I used systemd-analyze blame. The item with the longest time was the updater software, so I’m guessing it was running in the background.
This problem is solved. Thank you for your interest.
