Bug#898092: sddm: takes extremely long time to start
Package: sddm
Version: 0.17.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate
***
* What led up to the situation?
Intalling Plasma Desktop after having problems with several GTK-based
Desktop Environments (may fill bug on that once this one is solved).
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
For now, just started to do some debugging... (I copy the output of
relevant systemd-related commands below.)
It looks as if the program was spending those three minutes trying to find
something else, and it starts only after that time.
* What was the outcome of this action?
SSDM takes three (3!) minutes to initialize.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
SSDM to take a couple of seconds to initialize.
Here is the output of relevant systemd-related commands
* The service seems to be OK...
