[gnome3.6, systemd]NetworkManager make polkit start extremely slow

I have been using gnome ever since and recently It got updated to 3.6. And thus I was forced to switch to systemd as well. Nothing break so far because I have follow the change to migrate settings away from rc.conf before. So Everything run fine after update. But the things is even though system boot quite fast at first, things change after I  re-enable Networkmanager with
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
Without NetworkManager, the system boot in less than 25 seconds. And I can start Networkmanager almost instantly after login with gdm. Hoever, Enable Network manager make polkit took more than 15 seconds to activating and Network manager itself took no less time to start.
Without NetworkManager this is the output of systemd-analyze blame
778ms media-movie.mount
298ms systemd-udevd.service
226ms systemd-udev-trigger.service
221ms systemd-remount-fs.service

I googled around but was not able to find any clue. What was the problem and how can I fix it?

You can try the command
journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=NetworkManager.service
to see all logs related to NetworkManager. Perhaps you will find something interesting.
I don't have much exprience to reading log so I could have missed something. But I found in the log that NetworkManager stall for 19s at the line
<info>Loading plugin keyfile
Is this a real problem and how to address it?
I include a portion of the log here in case I miss something that was more important:

    Itunes starts extremely slow after an update of windows 8.1.
    It takes up to 10 minutus.
    If I see the appliction log in event viewer then I see the following errors on the Bonjour service.
    For instance:

    I did all the step with save mode and that didn't gave the same result.
    Then I created a new account and there itunes started up normally.
    So I contued with the user section.
    I removed the itunes directory from
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    This gave the same result in not starting up.
    Then I removed the itunes directory from
    c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    The a popup appears that the Bonjour Service has been disabled.
    I looked in services and saw that is was still running.
    But I tried to restart this service and it took a long time to stop this service.
    Even if I selected restart the Bonjour Service didn't start.
    Manually starting was not a problem.
    Clicking OK on the popup let itunes start quickly. And closing and starting it again was also quickly.
    So Matt thanks for your answer.
    If it happens again I have to see if it was the removing of the itunes directory from roaming or restarting the Bonjour Service.

    everything seems to work fine, but from one day to the next one my macbook takes a long time to start, is there anything i can do to fix that? i have 2 gigs of ram so i dont think this should happen at least it didnt like 3 days ago, ive used the onyx program to restart everything i could (meaning cache memory vram and that stuff) any other suggestions?
    thank you in advance

    Hello,
    Using Onyx ™ makes your next startup extremely slow because it erases all of the cached files. Your startup speed will not return to normal until 2~3 startups after using Onyx™. Do you have these issues when you don't use Onyx ™?

  • Toshiba 320GB external HDD make my computer extremely slow

    Hi.
    I bought this product a few weeks ago now and whenever I use it, it makes my omputer go so slow tp the point where I can't actually do anything on it, due to the fact that everything becomes non-responsive. Also, the rate at which I transfer files onto it is also very slow. Any ideas why and what I can do to speed things up a bit?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You have suggested the notebook becomes slowly during the usage of the external HDD.
    I assume you transfer a data from the internal HDD to the external USB HDD.
    I think its not very unusual the notebook runs slowly during the data transmission.
    It depands also on the programs which runs in the background of the OS.
    I dont know which interface you use USB2 or only a USB but the data transfer depends on the interface.

  • Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02Y010) - Is extremly slow

    Bought A300 with Vista which was so slow.
    I even turned off loads of features trying to make it a bit quicker but still slow, so I loaded XP and yet its still to slow takes ages (5mins) at least to start. Right click takes ages copying all of it is so slow, it hangs doing the most easy things.
    My old laptop I bought in 1999 is quicker than my new 4GB RAM dual processor 2k laptop what gives and what could be the problem.
    I have up to date software drivers ect also the CD/DVD is broken has anyone else had these problems and would you know how to sort it out?
    Help please

    Hi!
    Its not easy to say what the reason is why your notebook is so slow but do you have the same issue with factory settings?
    I mean the preinstalled Windows Vista version with all drivers and tools from Toshiba. So take the Toshiba recovery disk and try it. Then you can post your result.
    Two years ago I had a similar issue. My new notebook was extremely slow and the reason for this problem was the HDD. It had defective sectors and so it did make the computer extremely slow. After exchanging the HDD all was working well.
    You can check the HDD with Drive Fitness Test. Use Google to find this test and its freeware.

  • NetworkManager daemon not starting since systemd 208-2 upgrade

    Hi, Since i updated my system to systemd 208-2 NetworkManager fails to start at boot.
    I haver this behaviour both with the LTS kernel and the 3.7.9.2 kernel.
    I use only a wifi card, Atheros Ar9271. However even when the card is not connected Network Manager fails to start.
    I have downgraded to 208-1 as a workaround for the moment.
    has anyone similar behaviour?
    Should i repor a bug ??

    Hmm, I still seem to have this issue. For me, it's random. Most of the time I start my computer and I have no internet. At boot it tries to start internet on eth0 all the time.
    Every boot I run "ifconfig" to see if I got internet or not. Most often I do not have any, and running "dhcpcd eth0" will not do anything, at this time I am required to run "dhcpcd eth1".
    Rarely, I boot my computer, run "ifconfig", and see that I got a local IP address. But that happens rarely. I am using 208-3.

  • Tip regarding the "systemd[1]: Failed to start Journal Service" error

    Just a tip regarding the well-known
    systemd[1]: Failed to start Journal Service
    error (which I ran into last weekend) to maybe save one or two among you a couple of hours of your time:
    The error is described here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151012 as well as in several other threads in other language boards / in other forums etc. It is usually (as in the linked thread) 'solved' by reinstalling the system - good old Windows magic, also useful when dealing with systemd.
    The Problem with this error is that you do not get into your system. Instead, systemd will print you the mentioned "Failed to start Journal Service" error message a couple of million times. There are also no logs that you could retrieve (when booting from a livesystem) and that would give you any helpful hints, since journal is systemd's logging service, old-style system logs are not kept, and the dmesg log doesn't survive the reboot with default settings.
    As pointed out in the above mentioned thread, you will see a few more instructive error messages when adding 'emergency' to the kernel line in the bootloader config.
    Now there may be plenty of reasons why the systemd journal service might not work. The most common and most annoying, however, appears to be this one:
    In this case you will see that the problem actually lies in
    systemd[1]: Cannot open /etc/machine-id: No such file or directory
    Now, 'man machine-id' reveals that "the /etc/machine-id file contains the unique machine id of the local system that is set during installation. (...) The machine ID is usually generated from a random source (...)". It is obviously perfectly justified to refuse to boot the system because an absolutely insignificant random number is missing. As far as systemd is concerned anyway.
    Usually, it seems, the /etc/machine-id is set by /usr/bin/systemd-machine-id-setup during installation or system upgrade. It is not documented anywhere that this is a rather important step and that you should better check if this was or was not actually done before rebooting. Obviously (but for no apparent reasons) systemd fails to run this (or to run this successfully) sometimes.
    Also to be recommended: Always retain (back up) your old kernel and initramfs and edit your bootloader config appropriately to be able to boot with your old kernel again ... just to have one or two options left to get back into the system in case of running into an unpleasant surprise from the side of systemd or other packages.
    The solution is, obviously, to create this file /etc/machine-id ... You probably want to do that from a livesystem (if you want to try it from the emergency shell, you would need to remount / (i.e. root) as rw and hope that systemd will not punish you for that) by just running the program that was designed for creating this file manually:  /usr/bin/systemd-machine-id-setup
    http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.s … devel/7528 states that it might also work with merely creating the file 'touch /etc/machine-id'. Though I didn't try that since I had enough fun with systemd for one week and didn't want to break my system again just to see if that works.

    ackalker wrote:Sorry for necrobumping this.
    Generating the machine-id in a consistent way is very important when working with KVM and containers, where the machine-id can be set for the VM or container. See `man systemd-machine-id-setup`.
    Again, _don't_ just put some random UUID in there, especially not in the systemd package install script, this makes provisioning Arch Linux containers a PITA.
    If you thing that the way that arch is handlynbg the machine-id is wrong or can be improved, then file a bug.
    He already did.
    Jristz wrote:Anyway, I thing if reinstalling systemd package or if systemd have a command to reinitialize the machine-id file.
    Like so many of your posts, I had to read this a half dozen times before it made any sense. I think you're hinting at the utility that ackalker already pointed out in the post you're replying to. And, if you read the install scriptlet, you wouldn't need to think about whether or not reinstalling would be an option. You would know that it isn't.

    2 days ago my FF3.6.3 started becoming extremely slow/delayed on EVERYTHING/ALL ACTIONS (I have been using 3.6.3 for a few months with NO problems, until 2 days ago). Scrolling going in delayed/slow/jerky 'waves' motion (not smooth & fast), Right-click box very delayed/hangs in coming up, Text typing lagging/intermittent, activity extremely slow/delayed when pointing mouse over anything, changing from tab to tap extremely slow. Bascially EVERYTHING has become sooo slow, delayed, lagging etc. I have tried ALL possible checks (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, download history, cache, cookies) & viewed nearly ALL the FF help sites. Is this a sudden/recent bug?? It doesnt only happen with Facebook, but EVERY window I open!!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == approx. 2 days ago

    I've personally not seen this behaviour since Firefox version 2. It however re-appeared for me in 3.6.6 and 3.6.7 (current) and it's bloody awful. Makes everything I do take 50% longer ..... great for efficiency in the modern world.
    This 3.6 branch is so riddle with flaws which seem never to be fixed. Each fix / update brings with it more problems ... worst of all I see version 4 is already in development but they cannot even get 3.6 right ??? WTF ????
    Mozilla must stop chasing version numbers as has become the trend in the software world. Fix an existing version to perfection then start working on a new branch of the product.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 just started running extremely slow

    After recent OS upgrades and general teenager use, the MacBook Pro all the sudden is running extremely slow.  I am not a really technical person, what should I do to fix? I will start backing up now.
    Thank you
    Matt

    You may be able to improve the speed with some software work but it could also be your disk or SSD is corrupt or failing.
    Try resetting PRAM and SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Is it faster now?  If not, proceed.
    Restart in Safe Mode:

    If it boots faster then uninstall all unnecessary login items >User&Groups>Login items. Unlock the padlock. Remove them with the minus -
    Also uninstall internet plug-ins in your browsers.
    Is it faster now?  If not, proceed.
    Backup your data immediately:
    Before proceeding you should make sure you have a current backup.  If it has been getting slower over time your disk could be a failing slowly.  SATA drives have two retry modes: short and long.  They can continue operating as read errors are increasing.  The long retry cycle is very long and can cause significant performance degradation.  If it has started long retries then it is likely to get worse and eventually fail.  SSDs also have a failure mode where the fail slowly.

    Hardware replacement or upgrade?
    Hopefully by now your Mac is back to its normal speed.  If a hardware repair is indicated take it to an Genius bar at an Apple store for a free diagnosis and estimate of repairs.  If it is under warranty or AppleCare they will repair it for free.  If not, you can compare their estimate with DIY repairs.
    Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
    or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
    You can speed it up further by upgrading some hardware. (Do not upgrade the hardware if it is still covered by the warranty or AppleCare.)  For the following memory, disk or SSD replacements and upgrades check out OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/, Crucial: http://www.crucial.com/ and Kingston http://www.kingston.com/us/.  You will need to know your Mac the year and season your Mac was first sold and model number which can be found here:
     > About This Mac > More Info… > System Report > Model Identifier:
    If your Mac has 2 or 4 GB of RAM, consider an upgrade to 8 GB (if the memory is upgradeable).  An 8 GB memory upgrade is only $100.  When I upgraded a MacBook from 2 GB o 8 GB it booted thee times faster.
    If your Mac has a disk and it won’t repair properly, is low on disk space, or you just want a considerably faster disk, check out an upgrade to an SSD-Hybrid disk. Google "Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-Inch" or consider an SSD (120 to 480 GB).
    OWC has SSD replacements and upgrades for MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros.
    Good luck.  May the software fixes do the trick.

  • Systemd Issues - Failed to start MyApp daemon

    Hi all,
    Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, I'm new to Arch Linux, Pi, and Python. I have a Python script I'd like to start automatically after boot so I created a myapp.service file:
    [Unit]
    Description=MyApp daemon
    Requires=network.target
    [Service]
    Type=forking
    ExecStart=/root/bin/myapp/initmyapp.py
    ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    After initmyapp.py runs it calls "myapp.py &" that's why I tried type=forking. I tested "systemctl start myapp" and it looks like it's working; I can see the process running. So, I did "systemctl enable myapp" which ran without errors and then I rebooted. After reboot, however, the process is not running and "systemctl status myapp" tells me this:
    myapp.service - MyApp daemon

    Does this mean that networking is not ready yet? Instead of Requires=network.target I also tried Requires=multi-user.target but didn't work. I have no idea what I'm doing so any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you for the quick response. I removed the kill part and "stop" still works. I also removed all the network includes to test it out and the background call too and after hours of trial and error I was finally able to make it work. Now I just have to figure out how to tell when the network is up. That article covers it for C (I think) but not for Python. It also seems very technical.
    Anyway, thanks again for your help.

  • Firefox 4 extremely slow at start up, Then after awhile it clears its cache automaticly then its speed up. Please explain whats happening.

    Firefox would slow up when cache builds up. Especially at start ups. Extremely slow. Then a few second later it would go back to normal. Then when i check the cache. It has already been cleared automaticly. Can somebody please explain whats going on. Looks like it has something to do with Automatic cache management system. THank you very much.

    You may want to just get one utility for now.
    At this point, do you need a new graphic card? then you need to upgrade to Leopard. If your software and system won't be a problem regardless of compatibility great, but make sure. Otherwise, Snow Leopard will likely require lots more upgrades and updates.
    But maybe doing an upgrade to Leopard and then test the waters with Leopard and Snow L. makes better sense.
    Only the "Early, Early" 2006-7 1st Gen Mac Pros can run 10.4.11 (or at least install and officially supported).
    The product pages have misleading information but you do need 10.5.7 for the 4870 which is your best graphics upgrade choice. The 3870 came out a year ago and requires 10.5.3+.
