Boot time is over one minute with nvme…
It does not show why…
[root@lenovo roger]# systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 4.594s (firmware) + 1.906s (loader) + 2.297s (kernel) + 2.064s (userspace) = 10.863s
graphical.target reached after 1.943s in userspace
I tried to disable watchdog that does not stop on shutdown (30 secs delay approx) using all 4 available methods…
I’d like to know for first, what happens really on boot time. Any idea?
Hello @roger64
Maybe you could use the log tool and post a link to one of the available boot logs. Then maybe someone can look at it and see if they can pick up on anything. The journalctl logs.
after journalctl -p 4, this is what I get:

It is better if you use the EndeavourOS log tool that is on here btw. You could use that and edit your post if you wanted. Not sure if you are aware of the tool?
Example: http://ix.io/2JeC
Edit: The EndeavourOS log tool is in the menu.
Sorry. I did not find it. Is this better?
This was better to look at. I’m no expert on this but maybe some others will look at it have some ideas. Nothing i see jumps out at me.
I am not sure you want to post all your IP information that is towards the end of that file?
I did see this…That is a ton of usb ports…
déc. 23 10:36:21 lenovo kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
déc. 23 10:36:21 lenovo kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: 16 ports detected

déc. 23 10:36:21 lenovo kernel: hub 2-0:1.0: 8 ports detected
Maybe you could try the suggestions 1. and 2. from the following post:
You may want to check to see if there is some kind of option for “fast boot” in your BIOS. If not, you could try to see if you can disable as much as possible in the UEFI firmware menu (bios). When the machine POSTs, it polls for anything and everything that may be attached to the machine. For things like USB, that can be pretty slow. So if you can disable them, it should speed things up. Once the kernel is loaded, it will re-poll for devices anyway and get everything going.
You could combine the above with changing the default/fallback boot path. Some UEFI firmwares require a bootable file at a known location before they will show UEFI NVRAM boot entries. The solution is reinstalling or moving the GRUB EFI executable.
This should shave off some of that boot and shutdown time.
Note: Just ignore the encryption related stuff in that thread.
Could you edit this and enclose that novel in code tags, please?
What does systemd-analyze blame return?
Have you tried the fix described in paragraph “Delay when powering off or restarting” of
nss-mdns
Thank you all for your replies in such a festive day.
Before posting here, I tried four different methods to stop watchdog to no avail. Since then,I received above various proposals.
When I opened this thread, I had quite a modest purpose: I wished to see (visualize) what happens to my boot process between the first ten seconds (see above: systemd-analyze) and the opening of my Cinnamon session about one minute later.
Only then, when I should have learnt what slowed down my boot process, I thought I would be justified to tinker with my system with some chances of success.
Nevertheless I will try to install nss-mdns as suggested by sammiev because this seems to be a very easily reversible process.
Edit: did it. It seems I gained some seconds. Down to about 50 secs at boot…
Here it is. It’s the detail of the 10 secs given above where nothing is wrong. It does not provide info about the remaining 40 or 50 secs.
You know it by now, the boot process is just fine; the DE start time is not. You did not provide much information about your system so far, and did not comment on post #7 regarding those 24 usb ports.
I tried another thing using dmesg. I collected dmesg immediately after booting.
At the end of this file, I remarked that a lot of time is spent using “audits”. I’ve read I can disable audit writing audit=0 in the boot-loader prefs, like I wrote watchdog=0. Maybe I’ll try it.
I have no idea about these usb ports. I have two usb plugs on the right side, and one usb3 on the left.
As required, here is some information about my system.

I can’t find anything suspicious in the logs, except the usb port phenomenon and the the fact there is no driver for the nvidia gpu installed. Can’t interprete those audit records though.
What i would do just for testing is
