F16 Boot time OK... unless when network not connected

[dom107]

Hello,

Fedora 16 is installed on a netbook.

The boot time is OK unless the network is not connected.
It takes an additional minute when the network is not connected.

Using manual IP address doesn't change this.

Thanks in advance for ideas on this.

I experience this when fstab tries to mount {not connetced} network drives. Once they time-out, boot proceeds normally. For me the delay is acceptable because it's fairly rare when I am not connected to my network. Not sure if your case is the same.

Try running:

systemd-analyze blame

to show the list of times per service, see which one is the long one in the listing at the top. Remember that the times don't necessarily occur in serial order, some of the times 'hide' other times:

------- service 1
     ------ service 2
              --------service 3
                 ----- service 4

and so on, so the boot time isn't as large as the total of all the listed times

systemd-analyze blame doesn't show much difference w/ or without network... So it must be in a step before...

Do you have network service enabled? It may cause delay and not needed as NetworkManager is handling the connectivity.

[IonIvan]

I've got the same problem.
BTW, NetworkManager is disabled and I use network.service because NM will never work as I want him to.

Hello,
From the above output of "systemd-analyze blame", I see that NetworkManager.service is enabled but I don't see any "network.service".

Yes this is most definitely a F16 problem. My laptop has this delay even in wifi range; the last boot step reports wlan not connected, but it doesn't even try. It picks up the connection just fine when it finally boots. When plugged into ethernet the problem goes away because the eth0 connection is noticed.

I regard this as a bug.
