Reboot time takes about 5 minutes
I'm running Fedora 29 and every time I reboot my laptop, it takes several minutes. I've read that I might need to push a bunch of keys to increase the entropy, something to do with the random number generator in the kernel, but I think this was a problem with an older version. The only thing that worked as putting SELinux in permissive mode, where it booted right up super fast. So it seems like something is up with the SELinux thing. Any ideas on how to fix this issue without changing the mode in SELinux?
See what's in the logs with
journalctl -b
. You can press ESC at boot time to see where the boot process is getting stuck.systemd-analyze blame
andsystemd-analyze critical-chain
can help you identify the delaying processes.I tried both journalctl -b, systemd-analyze blame, and system-analyze critical-chain, but there were only items that took maybe a max of 7 seconds, not what I thought would be keeping the reboot process going for 5 minutes.
So some more information probably might help. The reboot process gets stuck when the first Fedora logo appears on reboot, not on the second time it shows up. Could that be making any difference?
if you can see where it "stops", can you name the service ?
