A visible problem, though irrelevant; is this one, you might want to get that checked out if you need to use a SD card:

There is also later a reconnect going on with the wireless; it shouldn't be doing this, I've also tried to notice when the network starts as well as when it does the next thing.

Quote:

There's about a 18 seconds between that; so, I think the network is delaying part of your boot, unless you wait that much before logging in.

It still doesn't explain why GNOME is starting slower on the first run though, as the only jump later seen is this:

Quote:
[ 39.514020] wlan0: Stopping Tx BA session for 74:44:01:2e:ed:de tid 0
[ 208.289426] wlan0: Open BA session requested for 74:44:01:2e:ed:de tid 6


Which is just network doing its thing.

I'm a bit confused why there's nothing visible about this. Did you extract this information after executing `startx`?

If so, I think that your Intel graphics module is having a hard time switching resolution the first time; why it is doing that, no idea...

Consider to file a bug upstream with them about this; besides that, trying a long term kernel release of a different branch (for example, 3.4.83) can help too see whether this is a regression in the kernel or the Intel module therein.

As a temporary measure, using `systemd-analyze blame` as well as `systemd-analyze critical-chain` as well as `/bin/dmesg -d | sort -nk4` after boot to pinpoint why the rest of your boot is slow can help; iotw, instead of fixing 12 seconds inside the graphical target, you could make the other part of your boot 12 seconds faster.

Eh, sorry, I'm again confusing your topic with another topic with something similar going on; we're both reading between the lines.

You might recall ulenrich's comment explaining this earlier in this topic, you could use a login manager instead of startx per this quote:

ulenrich wrote:
cannot initialize any of logind, which is part of systemd. Because Gnome is not in any way configured to run without systemd (Gentoo maintainers follow a cosy and lazy approach here), it is probably timing out any systemd related expectation.

Also it is stated by systemd upstream they don't want to support "startx" in the near future any more. An alternative is to use a cheap DM replacement such as no-dm, but this is dead now. There is a similar project I have forgotten the name on github.


The reason that startx might work right away the second time is because it knows not to timeout again; or in other words, it might have set something up in one or another directory (/run, /tmp or /var) that it can just reuse.

I tried remove all from /tmp but nothing has changed. Behaviour is still the same.

I also tried to use GDM as login manager but then it is the same thing but the delay is before start GDM, and about 10 seconds after login to start Gnome.

I don't know what could I delete from /run or /var ?

Uhm, no, the files I was talking about actually help, as they remember what GNOME did such that its second launch works better; I just don't know where they are stored.

How do you start GDM? Using systemd? It might be waiting for another target to finish first, like the network; the 10 seconds after the login is harder.

First, try to enable GDM debugging by enabling debug/Enable in /etc/gdm/custom.conf; after that, reboot, start gdm and then your `journalctl -rb` output should contain much more information about GDM starting up (and I think GNOME shell too).

Second, if you want to go a step further. Programmers would usually debug this by attaching a tracer to the process; first `emerge dev-util/strace sys-process/procps`, then put the following in a script:

Code:
while true ; do if [[ $(pgrep gdm$) ]] ; then strace -f -p $(pgrep gdm$) -tt -s250 > /tmp/strace.log ; break ; fi ; done


(The script sits in a loop, waits for the gdm process to exist; then it attaches the tracer to the gdm process, also tracing its forks (-f), outputting timestamps (-tt) and shows increased string size (-s250). When it is done it will break out of the loop.)

Then you can run that, after which you in another TTY can start gdm through systemctl; this will then attach as soon as it detects the gdm process. After which you can login, then come back to the TTY and copy the /tmp/strace.log file to a permanent location and then stop the command in the first terminal with CTRL+C.

If the slowdown is _after_ it switches to the GNOME shell, you could also try to only trace gnome-shell by replacing gdm$ by gnome-shell$; like this:

Code:
while true ; do if [[ $(pgrep gnome-shel$) ]] ; then strace -f -p $(pgrep gnome-shell$) -tt -s250 > /tmp/strace.log ; break ; fi ; done


The trace goes into the details of the system calls; so, it requires some patience and research to read through it. Understanding mostly by the I/O related calls what it is doing at certain times; then finding the time where it hangs, which will reveal what it was waiting for (and sometimes you see it writing something to standard output or a log around that point).

Nothing, there is important stuff in there.

I assumed that after removing everything from /tmp second run gnome should also take 40 seconds to load, but no it was 3 seconds. So your assumption that gnome caches sth in /tmp is incorrect.

I will try with GDM... and your suggestion

With GDM by systemd:

Start to GDM took about 26 second.
Start to Gnome from GDM took 12 seconds

So pretty the same situation as from startx

Most of the log seems to go fine (reading from the bottom up), as the seconds follow up on each other; but, there are two big jump here:

Quote:
mar 30 11:00:30 thinkpad gnome-session[820]: (google-chrome-stable:1073): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GtkSettings::gtk-button-images after class was initialised
mar 30 11:00:22 thinkpad systemd-logind[310]: Removed session c1.
mar 30 11:00:10 thinkpad gnome-session[820]: Entering running state


But 11:00:30 is your browser already; so, you might be able to remember what you did before launching the browser and know whether the 12 seconds delay was 10 seconds before starting the browser? It could very well also be a false positive if you switched to the TTY or so. I'm going to assume it is because of these thought.

So, I went to check when the last service started as well as when GNOME shell reports itself a loaded:

Quote:
mar 30 10:59:45 thinkpad /usr/bin/dbus-launch[495]: Gjs-Message: JS LOG: GNOME Shell started at Sun Mar 30 2014 10:59:45 GMT+0200 (CEST)
mar 30 10:59:33 thinkpad systemd[1]: Started Locale Service.


Ah, 12 seconds. 6 second seem lost here:

Quote:
mar 30 10:59:44 thinkpad /usr/bin/dbus-launch[495]: gnome-session[495]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties method=GetAll
mar 30 10:59:38 thinkpad gnome-session[495]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged


That is some dbus talk between the proceses; so, maybe there's something going on with that. Did you follow the documentation when setting up GNOME?

There's another 2 seconds that seem lost here:

Quote:
mar 30 10:59:36 thinkpad /usr/bin/dbus-launch[495]: gnome-session[495]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged
mar 30 10:59:34 thinkpad gnome-session[495]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged


As for the remaining 4 seconds, these seem fine; it just seems as if there is some trouble going on between the processes, as around that time in the log it kinda repeats this a lot. To know what is happening between the processes, you'll need to use strace to see what they are doing; as the messages themselves don't say much about why the messages are sent, you could only tell that by checking what the I/O is doing around the time the message are send. Some of these separate processes don't log enough information to debug them without strace...

On a side note, at the top of the log there is a message flooding that you'll also want to look into, but you would need (with a fresh log) check what proces the pid 1543 number (but instead the number of the new log) corresponds to; see this:

unnamed app is chrome so ignore this errors. I should not start browser so fast, it obscures logs.

Hmm, you'll want to follow the associated guides:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GNOME/3.8-upgrade-guide#Installation

Here are slowdowns I see in the new log:

Quote:
mar 30 12:11:51 thinkpad gnome-session[2415]: (tracker-store:2574): Tracker-CRITICAL **: D-Bus service name:'org.freedesktop.Tracker1' is already taken, perhaps the daemon is already running?
mar 30 12:11:48 thinkpad gnome-session[2415]: Entering running state

3 seconds to try to start tracker (but it service name is already taken)

Quote:

mar 30 12:11:46 thinkpad gnome-session[2415]: Window manager warning: CurrentTime used to choose focus window; focus window may not be correct.

2 seconds for the new uer

Quote:

mar 30 12:11:39 thinkpad colord[2234]: Profile added: icc-bf6a95f4cd6beb6c45c792659bda2af8

4 seconds to start the gnome online accounts daemon; if you don't need this, set -gnome-online-accounts in USE in make.conf and you might spare out 4 seconds.

Quote:

mar 30 12:11:34 thinkpad gdm[2105]: GdmSessionWorker: received pam message of type 1 with payload 'Password: '

2 seconds to talk with PAM, I think that's still reasonable; though you might want to check out https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd#systemd-logind_.26_pam_systemd

Quote:

mar 30 12:11:32 thinkpad gdm[2105]: AccountsService: ActUserManager: user root changed

2 seconds to do some kind of reauthentication channel, nothing special to see here

Then there's a lot of seconds going on in the earlier dbus talk; as you can see, there's quite a jump of 9 seconds here:

Quote:
mar 30 12:11:28 thinkpad /usr/bin/dbus-launch[2138]: gnome-session[2138]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/gnome/SessionManager/Presence interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties method=GetAll
mar 30 12:11:19 thinkpad gnome-session[2138]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged


and another 4 seconds here:

Quote:

mar 30 12:11:16 thinkpad gnome-session[2138]: DEBUG(+): GsmDBusClient: obj_path=/org/freedesktop/DBus interface=org.freedesktop.DBus method=NameOwnerChanged


Compared to all the other smaller seconds, it seems like the 4 seconds (goa) and the 13 seconds (dbus talk) take up a lot of time; so, we'll want to do the strace:

gentoo2x wrote:

Yeah, sorry, it has been a while; it needs to be with -o instead of >:

Code:

From your first post I based myself on this:

Quote:
[ 39.764] (**) Option "xkb_layout" "pl"
[ 53.875] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LEN", prod id 16438


Used the range between these two and have them form a text range, removing everything before the xkb_layout (@ :21) and removing everything after the EDID vendor (@ :31).

Next, I look for case insensitive for the word warning or error (after having been bored scrolling through the file a few times not noticing a clear stall); what I notice is:

Quote:
830 13:06:22.529869 write(2, "<7>AccountsService: Error calling GetAll() when retrieving properties for /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User105: Operation was cancelled\n", 133 <unfinished ...>
830 13:06:22.529936 write(2, "<7>AccountsService: Error calling GetAll() when retrieving properties for /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User105: Operation was cancelled\n", 133) = 133


There are a lot of other dbus warnings and errors too; but the tricky thing there is, they are not always errors. On the other hand, the above looks somewhat worrying because an operation was cancelled, which caused properties retrieval to fail for User105 (which could be your user). It's doing something quite specific; so, for it to fail sounds bad.

When we put that in the context of your `systemctl status gdm` call, you'll notice again that AccountsService is playing a role here:

Quote:

mar 30 17:51:10 thinkpad gdm[646]: AccountsService: ActUserManager: tracked user /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User0 removed from accounts service


If I look at that in my log, I see the first one happen (@ :21) not long before the operation gets cancelled.

This leads me to believe the AccountsService isn't functioning well; however, I can't find a specific error after the time break (as that's where the error would be supposed to be).

What I do find at random points is:

Yeah, well, some different warning and errors every few seconds; we can also find when gnome-shell itself starts:

835 13:06:27.930118 writev(2, [{"gnome-session[835]: DEBUG(+): GsmAutostartApp: starting gnome-shell.desktop: command=gnome-shell --mode=gdm startup-id=107b986ad861cfc9af139617758591569400000008350000\n", 168}], 1 <unfinished ...>


So, to summarize I see that @ :21 the last Xorg message before the gap kicks in as well as the last AccuntsService message, @ :22 AccountsService throws an error, @ :25 we get warnings from at-spi2, @ :27 gnome-shell starts and @ :30 there is some DBUS stuff going on. I kinda get the impression that there's no single big problem; but rather, there are smaller problems causing a bit of delay.

There are more warnings and errors going on outside that range; for instance, the following looks concerning (gnome-settings-daemon and gconf are somewhat more important, as well as at-spi2 again):

It's hard to pinpoint something specific here; therefore I suggest you 1) make sure you did everything according to documentation (set a gnome and/or systemd profile with eselect, for example default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd), 2) start from a new install or 3) file a bug upstream for the upstream developers to check your strace out.

The troubleshooting approach would be to go further and research every warning and error; but given not every warning or error is fatal, quite some time can get into that (days to weeks). At which point it is easier to check documentation, start clean and/or contact upstream. If needed, you can file a bug upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/
