Super slow boot time all of the sudden

Bazzite
1

Hi,

I’ve been using Bazzite for a month without any major issue on my HTPC. Yesterday I’ve turned the machine on and after the boot screen with Bazzite logo and the spinner icon (which usually takes just a couple of seconds) I got stuck on a black screen for several seconds (minutes?) then the OS switched to desktop mode and a popup saying steam was updating showed up to disappear few seconds later. Then I was unable to return to game scope from the desktop mode, so I tried the command:

ujust fix-reset-steam

Which showed tons of errors reporting:

Object '/sure/libextest/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32)

and after several minutes, the command didn’t finished yet, but since nothing was happening I terminated it (Ctrl + c).

After rebooting, gamescope was working again, BUT it was taking takes a lot to load (1.47 minutes)… tested several times. Then I re-installed bazzite from scratch and unfortunately it’s the same :frowning:

This is the output of systemd-analyze time :

Startup finished in 51.517s (firmware) + 2.140s (loader) + 1.704s (kernel) + 1min 6.718s (initrd) + 10.943s (userspace) = 2min 13.023s 
graphical.target reached after 10.937s in userspace.

This one instead is for systemd-analyze blame :

Do you have any idea about what’s going on?

I solved the issue!

I realized we can press ESC while booting in order to see logs in the shell, here I found out that there were an issue with USB addresses not being reachable and several attempts made my the os before to give up. I’ve searched online for the error code and the easiest solution was simply to turn off the PC and remove the power cable for several minutes. I tried the trick and now it works perfectly again! It takes 32 seconds from power button press to get to the game scope UI (compared to the 1:47 minutes with the USB issue). Can’t be any happier :slight_smile:
