Boot time

So I just reinstalled Bazzite to change from Gnome to KDE. With gnome it took a few seconds to boot. KDE is taking like a minute. What have I done wrong? Or is this normal? Thanks
Solution:
Fixed! KDE, boot time like 5 seconds. After telling chatgpt everything and going back and forward for a while, it came up with these as the most liekly issues. `GRUB or EFI files might be on a slightly different location or partition, and the motherboard is pausing before it finds the bootloader. ...

Yes but I don't see any outlier🤔 Run systemd-analyze plot > boot.svg . This will create a boot.svg file in the directory you run the command. You can upload here and also take a look yourself

this service is taking a long time to finish. Did you add or remove any drives recently?
Suzy Turquoise Blue
Nothing like that. All I did was make a USB boot drive for KDE version and installed it exactly the same as I did Gnome a few days ago

I'm getting similar times but it's definitely a recent thing, used to be like 35 seconds before
Suzy Turquoise Blue
Should I just try another reinstall maybe?

I noticed after rebooting that the automounting was still running when I did systemctl list-jobs, since I couldn't run systemd-analyze lol
mrvictorywin (Ping on reply)
instead of reinstall you can try a downgrade, if it's recent like @Reactive said a downgrade can solve the issue. type brh and follow the prompts, choose a ~7 days old image
Suzy Turquoise Blue
But it's a fresh install from like an hour ago. Don't think I have anything to downgrade to

they meant that it could be related to the latest stable release, perhaps an older release doesn't have this issue IF that is the cause I'm not too bothered by it currently, I just boot it up once per day
Suzy Turquoise Blue
I gave up and went back to gnome, but it's happening with that now as well 🙁

systemd-analyze blame will tell you what services are takng the most time
Suzy Turquoise Blue
uploaded that above
Suzy Turquoise Blue
But I have no idea what anything in that means

One thing I have noticed, when I restart before it loads the bios it show this screen with an underscore for 10 seconds first. Never did that before

Fixed! KDE, boot time like 5 seconds. After telling chatgpt everything and going back and forward for a while, it came up with these as the most liekly issues. GRUB or EFI files might be on a slightly different location or partition, and the motherboard is pausing before it finds the bootloader.  NVRAM boot entries might be pointing to a “wrong” or “extra” EFI file first, causing a delay.  Less likely, but possible: partition alignment or filesystem differences in the EFI system partition that the firmware doesn’t like. I had the idea to do a full clean of the ssd from my windows install, and it worked. Reinstalling and wiping everything with the bazzite installer was missing things.

Suzy Turquoise Blue
in the end, yep wiped with diskpart Was a simple fix, but took a long time to find it

might be an anaconda moment but if fixable with a fresh install its probably not a big deal plus it is going to get replaced soon in f43
Suzy Turquoise Blue
What is?
nagito || Knight of Emilia
anaconda the current installer
Suzy Turquoise Blue
ohh Didn't get the anaconda reference but just went with it xD Yeah, but not just a fresh install ontop of the old one. Wiped in windows first. But in anaconda is going bye bye soon, doesn't really matter 🙂
