GDM to Gnome Desktop 25 second lg

Hello,

I am having troubles with a 25 second delay getting to the desktop in Gnome after login from gdm. It seems to be related with Disk Manager as well as udisks2. The journalctl states that systemd[1] is reporting the error. I have reinstalled EOS and still have the same issue. I also tried BlendOS and did not have the same issue. Another line is:

Let me know what you all think, thank you.

systemctl status udisks2
?

and what filesystem is the system ?

Could be accidently removed some support package…

gptfdisk, mdadm, xfsprogs, btrfs-progs e.t.c.

I switched over to BlendOS to get some work done, but what I remember is that when I checked systemctl status udisks2 it showed that it was disabled. I enabled it with no change on next reboot.

File system is ext4.

I’m seeing if it’s repeatable in a vm, and I will also try to install again.

Thanks!

using any remote file systems ?

Yes, specifically for the use of accessing google drive.

I don’t think this is related though. On a fresh install of Endeavour OS, I still get a 25 second GDM → Desktop wait time.

Here is the journalctl from the fresh boot:

I noticed there are a few stack traces for udiskd, which led me to believe that udisks2 is the issue. I can’t post the entire log in one post though.

pastebin to the rescue :wink:

Here is the pastebin (I think, also, obtained by following your article! Thank you!)

http://ix.io/4Hgg

thats journalctl -b -0 ?
boot looks clean… the issue is while GDM loads and i do not see that part here.
The issue is very interesting as you said it happens right after a clean install.

It could be something hardware related.

Hey joekamprad, I found a fix for my issue. Turns out, a couple weeks ago, Arch Linux added new versions of both udisks2 and libblockdev. Downgrading both to the previous version has solved the issue. I don’t know if this is something you would like to explore though. Here is the pastebin for the most recent boot with udisks2 version 2.9.4-4 and libblockdev version 2.28-4: http://ix.io/4HgF

Here is the link to where I found a related issue and band-aid solution on github: https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/1139

I just started graduate school and it is almost guaranteed that I may not have restarted my computer for that long, thus never running into the issue.

Thanks again for your help.
