Slow boot after sync

I run Arch on my Thinkpad T41p (ATI video card, 1400x1050 screen), its not a fast new laptop but its not bad.
Since i started using Arch the time to boot was something that impressed me. It was very quick to the SLiM login manager and I recon perhaps 3 seconds from login manager to XFCE desktop.
I have recently performed a pacman -Syu and the new XFCE came down, since then the time to SLiM has increased a little but the time it now takes to go from SLiM to desktop is around 13 seconds. Strangely, after login in SLiM there seems to be little action on the HDD till just before I have the Desktop.
Usage and applications all seem to be a snappy as the used to be.
Is it taking longer to boot now due to XFCE update?
Can anyone please suggest what I should be looking for to locate the source of the slow down?
Thank you in advance.

I have a similar problem since the update: xfce-session seems to wait for a timeout which occurs after about 10s (probably network related). I get a desktop fairly quickly but it takes that time for xfce-power-manager and nm-applet to start (or anything else included in the session). If I try to logout, it says that the session manager cannot be bothered until it's idle.
Might be something else because I use testing (xorg-server 1.6).
I solved my problem by deleting ~/.cache/sessions

Very slow boot after installing 10.10.3

insanely slow boot after installing 10.10.3, it takes 10times longer compare to 10.10.2, using MBA 2014

Open System Preferences, select Startup Disk, and make sure your internal drive is selected as the startup disk. Then click restart!
This worked for me, personally with the same issue.
Good luck!

MBP retina slow booting after repartitioning and cloning OS X

I bought a Macbook Pro retina 15" (512/16GB) few days back. OS : Mountain Lion 10.8.4
I wanted to partition the SSD to have Windows 7 in Boor Camp (120 GB), then a partition with ExFAT (260 GB) for shared data between Mac and Windows and lastly Mac HD (120 GB) with Mountain Lion OS X.
After searching in the net, I got this link :http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/139815-successful-setup-os-x-lion-bo otcamp-win7-data-partition/page__st__14 and followed the steps as described the steps in pane # 21.
So to state again what I did,
1. Used the disk utility to resize the Macintosh HD to 120 GB.
2. Make another partition of 260 GB in the remaining space. So I now have three partition, the first with Mountain Lion, the second (260 Gb) and the third (120 GB) free.
3. Booting with the recovery option, cloned the Mac HD from first partition to the last partition.
4. The system was booting fine with the newly cloned Mac HD (last partition).
5. Then again booting with the recovery option erased the first partition and formatted with ExFat to make it Bootcamp.
After these steps the system is booting fine with the cloned Mac HD bootable drive but booting is very slow. It takes a minute to show up the apple logo. How can I fix this ?
Should I do a fresh installation of OS X in partition 3 ? Please advise.
Thanks and best regards,

I solved the problem of slow booting.
Selecting the Mac HD from the start up disk option solved the problem. There was only one option : Mac HD , so I thought it is selected by default. But after selecting it manually and restarting, now boot takes only a few secs. Thanks.

Slow Boot after 10.4.3 Update

Hi,
I'm experiencing a really slow boot time after updating to 10.4.3.
This only effects my Dual 2.3 G5, the iMac G5 boots as normal.
It seems to hang for at least 2 minutes on the grey screen before completing the boot and launching the login window.
I booted in verbose mode <apple> V , to see where it seems to be hanging and this is what is on screen at the time:

Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: UniNEnet: Ethernet address 00:11:24:86:33:46
Then after almost 2 minutes it moves on with the rest:

Hi,
I have the same problem. My iMac also hangs for about one minute at the same place;
"Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: IPv6 packet filtering initialized, default to accept, logging disabled
Nov 23 16:07:04 localhost kernel[0]: UniNEnet: Ethernet address 00:11:24:86:33:46"
but with a different MAC address ofcourse.
I 've run the maintenance scripts and repaired permissions using Onyx but it did no difference.
Any other ideas?

My fix for slow boot after Leopard Upgrade

I was having the same issue as a lot of others in posts about extremely slow boot up times after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Apple Support but in the end I stumbled across a fix for my situation.
After power up and getting to the login screen (about 5-6 seconds), it would take about 3 minutes to fully populate the desktop after entering my password. Most of that time just sitting at the login screen. Extremely painful.
My MacBook connects to a Windows Active Directory network. I was able to fix my slowness by disabling the Active Directory service. I was concerned at first but my bound volumes still work. I don't use a lot of AD services from my Mac so I at this point I have not found any issue with this fix.
To disable, go to Directory Utility, select services and if you have Active Directory enabled, disable it.
My boot time increased from 3 minutes to less than 15 seconds. Better than Tiger.
Tech Support is aware of this issue and has reported it the OS team for a fix.

Hi-
Do you have a Tiger volume to test your machine with?
Do you still have video in Tiger?
If you don't have a Tiger volume to test on, I would consider such as an important troubleshooting step
So now I am wondering if it is the PCI slot that suddenly stopped working after the OS upgrade. Does anyone know if this is a documented issue and if there is a fix for it?
There are no issues with the AGP slot in relation to an OS version.

Slow boot after Mavericks

Hello guys.
Like many of Mavericks's user, I'm experiencing some problems in OS boot, such as slow boot or even a freeze, that I've never experienced before. I've read a post that someone teaching how to show errors, if there is any, by typing this code line into Terminal:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
After typing that this error has appeared into the TextEdit: Dec 1 20:48:50 b12058e8 kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error.
Does anybody knows what it means? It indicates a possible problem in my HDD?
My computer is a:
MACBOOK PRO
15-inch, Late 2011
Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Serial Number C0*******V7L
Software OS X 10.9 (13A603)
Thanks

The disk drive may be corrupted or has failed. Backup all your files, then try this:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Slow boot after cloning

Hello everyone I have a problem of a slow boot (3-4 minutes) with my MacBook Pro and hope someone can help. Bought my first iMac 27" in December 2013 and going great. Decided to buy a 13" MacBook Pro retina with ssd in May and thought I would clone my iMac to the Pro. Before cloning Pro would boot up fast but after the clone it takes 3-4 minutes. What have I done wrong and can it be fixed? Please.

Hi Allan,
Thank you for your reply. I am sure what you suggest will cure my problem but at this point in time I do not feel confident in carrying out what appears to be a rather complicated procedure.
I will look into it further and after gleaning more information on the actions will give it a try.
Will let you know the outcome when it is done.

Slow boot after updating to 10.7.2

Hi there,
Since updating from SL to Lion, I have noticed a slower boot up than usual, but now even more so since updating to 10.7.2. Furthermore once it is at the login screen, it fails to find the bluetooth magic mouse meaning I have to switch it off and on for it to be recognized. Once the mouse connects, there are no further issues with bluetooth.
Is there a way for me to check what is being used during startup, or some way to edit the startup process?
Mac is a 24" 2008 model, Core 2 Extreme with 4GB RAM.

Hello:
I don't know about the "slow," but try this for the mouse problem:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Reset the PRAM and SMC
Make the mouse a favorite

Slow boot after connecting Blu Ray to motherboard SATA port

I have installed a Blu Ray burner (LG GGW-H20L) in the upper bay. It is connected directly to the lower SATA motherboard port. My 112D is in the lower.
All is working well (except have to use Finder burn instead of Toast for BD burns) apart from really slow boot up times.
I have tried SMC reset and PRAM reset.
Any ideas?
BTW I was pleased to be able to connect to the SATA port without taking out the fan assembly etc etc for anyone thinking of doing this.
Message was edited by: Mike Boreham

The "problem" was the the SATA-USB cable adapter I had been using previously when trying out the LG as external. I had left the adapter plugged in and powered up but not connected to anything. As soon as I depowered it fast boots restored!

Slow boot after installing SSD drive + Grub problem + Kernel panicks

Hey
So i just got a Samsung 840 EVO, and was ready to see my system fly, so i installed Arch on it, the instalation was kinda weird, since im in the middle of some major developing for a startup i couldnt risk to lose time configuring my all system so what i did was this:
Install Arch on the SSD (/root on sdb1) while keeping my other Arch install (/root on sda5) and sharing the /home and /swap (on sda6 and sda7) between both systems, i installed grub on sdb also because i didnt knew what to do
So now when i boot the laptop i get the grub from sda wich only has Old Arch and windows, if i press f9 at boot and boot from the ssd i go to sdb grub that has Old Arch, New Arch and Windows, since the SSD was instaled via a caddy it doesnt get recognized in the BIOS, but strangely i get 2 Universal Hard Drives (hdd and sdd) when pressing f9
So first question is, should i reeinstall grub on sda or is there a way to put the SDD as primary?
The other problem is that systemd-analyze is giving me worst times than with the hdd, and i dont see a huge improvement with the SSD as i should. Is it because i have /home /swap on the hdd? I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives and did as told.

You did not share what the kernel panic says, but I guess it has to do with your root file systems not mounted correctly. If it happens like 75% of the time, sounds like you are using /dev/sdax and it gets enumarated differently? Use UUID's instead.
Your "slow boot" is a seperate problem, see the thread you linked too for how to fix that.
Its a fresh install but i alredy have DE and programs, i used Helmuth script to install all the stuff, just so i didnt forget to install stuff.
No idea what this means, but if it is some third party script downloaded off the internet - use them only if you understand exactly what it does, else the chances are you will run into some problems with no idea how you got there. For simply keeping a list of packages to install, put them in a text file and pipe them into pacman (see also here.

Slow boot after installing "SAP NetWeaver 7.01 - ABAP Trial Version"

Hello everyone,
I have successfully installed "_SAP NetWeaver 7.01 - ABAP Trial Version_" on my personal computer, but since, booting is really really slow.
I guess it's because what I installed launchs lots of processes. However, as I don't want to use SAP everyday (it's still my personal computer), I'd like :
1) to get my performances back without uninstalling SAP
2) be able to start all those processes when I start SAP.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

after reading this thread, I resolved to NOT start services automatically, only when I wanted to run minisap. I am in Vista Home Premium, by the way. I made 3 services (see below) Manual instead of Automatic, and then created a couple of .BAT files to start and stop them. I run the starting BAT before launching minisap, and run the stopping BAT after I have shut minisap down... I have to run them as administrator, of course. Here's my code, which works fine for me:
StartServices.bat
NET START XServer
NET START "SAP DBTech-NSP"
NET START SAPNSP_00
StopServices.bat
NET STOP SAPNSP_00
NET STOP "SAP DBTech-NSP"
NET STOP XServer
The order of the commands is important, the middle one takes the longest to start/stop and is launching MaxDB. If the service name contains spaces you need the double quotes!!!

Slow Boot after 10.6.8 Update

Since I upgraded Mac Book Pro (2009) to 10.6.8 today, system is slow to boot and remains on blue screen for 30+ seconds, then takes another 15 seconds to fully boot. Any suggestions?

This may not help the OP, but perhaps it will help others.
In summary, don't panic; have patience. If in doubt, wait a little longer than normal when confronted with the blue screen.
I installed the 10.6.8 update via Software Update, and after restarting as usual by clicking "restart", my MBP spent a very long time at the blue screen. Only a blue screen was visible with the circulating fan vent icon. It stayed on this screen very long, perhaps 10 minutes or more , and I thought it had hung. I persevered, and eventually the MBP rebooted on its own and everything was normal. I wasn't required to do anything for the MBP to go through this process.

Slow boot after HD transplant

After my iMac G5 (iSight) bit the dust, I pulled the HD out and put it into another iMac G5 (ALS). Everything works except boot time is extremely slow (6-7 minutes). I suspect I may have some conflicting prefs to remove, but I don't know which ones. Slow down appears between 5:55 and 6:00 in these logs.
TIA, Eric

Removing the tablet did nothing.
After checking the timing, the "hang" happens when the blue screen is displayed (after the Apple logo and before the log-in). In the logs, that time shows "IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out waiting to write kernel symbols". Google those terms and you'll find a lot of Hackintosh results (not my case though).
In safe mode, the blue screen only comes on for 1 second and the IOKit message does not appear in the logs.
I think the issue has to do with IOHWMonitor and/or IOKit. Looking closely at the loh, it keeps waiting for IOsomething... So apparently something is different between the 2 iMacs.

Z87-G43 Slow Boot after adding GPU - Need Help

MSI Z87-G43 bios v 1.0
i5-4670K not overclocked
stock heatsink
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G 8G total
PSU Seasonic SSR-450RM G-450W Gold 37a +12v
HD WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6 Gb/s
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD Burner
Case Antec 300 Illusion
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Just added GPU Asus GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5
I ran the system for 3 months with the onboard graphics. Never had a single problem.
Started playing my old flight sim game and had turn off/down many features to get the graphics to work and not freeze up at times, so bought a graphics card.
Had problems getting the new GPU to work. Had to preload drivers to get it to come on. Graphics would go off on some apps and had to reboot.
After a few days it has settled down and seems to work.
The problem is that the screen does not turn on until it gets to the windows welcome screen so I can't get to the bios screen.
It looks like there is a video preference setting in the bios but how can I get there.
I added all the utilities hoping to get the GOTOBIOS feature but when I go to MSI Fast Boot it just says its already running and so there is no tab to turn it on.
What can I do?
Also had to remove the Network Genie as it slow the internet to crawl and had to remove the utility that controls fans and clock speed as it used 30% of the cpu all the time but I guess that's a new topic.
Sorry this is so long but as you can probably tell this my first time on the forum.

I tried to do this but F8 didn't work to get to safe mode. It just locked up the start. Checked on line and saw that I could change config file to make it go to safe mode but saw the horror stories of people getting in a loop and having to reload their whole computer so didn't' try that.
I went back to the onboard graphics and was able to see the bios prompt at start up. Changed the integrated graphics configuration-initiate graphic adapter in bios to PEG for primary boot device. After save and exit the monitor wouldn't come on all. Shut down and switched the monitor cable back to the new GPU card. On start up the monitor started immediately saw the bois prompt and all is working like it should. The complete boot time is now much quicker, like it used to be. Time to start on my other problems.
thanks mcbob
