A couple of weeks ago I have upgraded from F40 to F42. Everything went fine, I don’t see any issues so far except for one. Previously, when I entered my credentials at the login screen, desktop would load almost instantaneously. Now after the upgrade it takes ~8 seconds to go from login screen to the desktop, and during this this time I see ghost image (?) of the login screen and the mouse pointer can’t be moved.
Now, 8 seconds is not a disaster, but still it feels like it’s not normal. Can someone tell me how to maybe troubleshoot that? Seeing how I’m not exceptionally knowledgeable in linux, that is.
The journal collects massive amounts of data, so there are lots of options that can be used to “filter” out all but relevant entries. You may want to spend some time with Linux Command to become familiar with the command line, and Linux Handbook: journalctl Command.
Okay. I don’t understand what I’m looking at with the systemd-analyze and especially with the journal. In the latter I can’t pinpoint the moment where the login happens, and also don’t really see much timings wise. In the “Related posts” section here there is one thread with a similar problem that has a solution which I can’t understand.
Since I gather it’s not some known issue, but rather my personal problem, I suppose I’ll have to live with the slow login for now. Maybe it will fix itself at some point. If it starts getting on my nerves, I’ll reinstall. Whichever happens first.
