My fedora 27 laptop used to login very quickly.
Now it gets to a blank screen and pauses there
for 1-2 minutes.
I don't think the pause is due to anything in my
start up scripts ~/.profile and ~/.kshrc. I checked
this in two ways. First was commenting out large
blocks of the executable code in the scripts and
then rebooting. Eventually all the code was commented
out and still the pause on login. The second way was
by adding "got here" lines like:
echo "got to $((n++)) $SECONDS $LINENO" >&2
The $SECONDS showed no long pauses. So I
conclude the pause is in system code setting
up my login session.
The bootchart command does a nice job of reporting
every program that runs during boot, including the
processes start and end times.
Know any bootchart equivalent for login sessions?
