[Bug 1867405] Re: gdm3 loads very slowly with newer kernels

2020-03-26 Thread Daniel van Vugt
Thanks. I can't see anything obviously wrong, just everything seems to
be slow. I guess what's unusual in that log is the amount of networking,
virtualization and docker stuff starting up on boot.

Next we really need a way to prove there is a definite bug in some
package here. The current bug title "loads very slowly with newer
kernels" is contradicted by your findings in previous comments that
older kernels don't fix the problem. So I think the bug title is wrong
and will change that...


** Summary changed:

- gdm3 loads very slowly with newer kernels

Apologies for the delayed response, things have been pretty crazy.

I've attached the journal.txt you requested.

Thanks for doing that so quickly.

I can't see any obvious problems in the attached kernel log but it is
taking a minute or two to fully boot. It's also unclear if the login
screen is appearing after all of that or part-way through.

To better answer this, please reboot again and then immediately run:

  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and then attach the file 'journal.txt'.

Re: [Bug 1867405] Re: gdm3 loads very slowly with newer kernels

2020-03-14 Thread dundir
I tested the kernels. Unfortunately none of them seemed to correct the
issue, 4.18-13 was a few seconds faster loading but not by much.
I updated the kernel at the same time as the software so its possible this
is related to one of the packages being updated.

I reverted back to my previous kernel (4.18.0-20) and see the exact same
issue so I'm thinking that it may not be the kernel. Though I find testing
that might be difficult since removing and reinstalling specific package
versions and getting their dependencies right can be problematic.

I also tested 4.15.0-88-lowlatency, 4.18.0-13-lowlatency, and the issue
persists.

[Bug 1867405] Re: gdm3 loads very slowly with newer kernels

2020-03-14 Thread dundir
I've attached the requested fresh dmesg.txt.

I'll be reverting the kernel to see if anything improves and will post
back with the details.

As a side note, and its probably not related, I'm also seeing sporadic
temporary lockups which seem to correspond with the CE: hpet3 warning in
dmesg but even when disabling hpet at grub the lockups still occur but
as I mentioned; probably not related.

Please reboot again and then run this command to collect a fresh log of
a slow boot:

  dmesg > dmesg.txt

And then attach the resulting file 'dmesg.txt' here.
