[SOLVED] bootup now 10 minutes

[Jeff Sadowski]

Something happened and now bootup takes about 10 minutes.

# cat /etc/issue
Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)
Kernel \r on an \m (\l)

when I run "systemctl --failed"
I get
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB JOB DESCRIPTION
plymouth-quit-wait.service loaded failed failed Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit


# systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait.service

On your next boot attempt, try editing your primary GRUB kernel entry to remove both "quiet" and "rhgb" elements, then strike F10, and see if it boots faster.

I found that systemd wants to start /etc/rc.d/rc.local in /lib/systemd/system/rc-local.service
while plymouth-quit-wait.service waiting.

Your lucky you posted this, because I had the EXACT same problem yesterday!! What I did was go wait for it to boot up, then run

sudo service plymouth-quit-wait disable

Problem solved!

Boots the same. I was already toggling with the Esc key

I think your on to something.
I created a /etc/rc.d/rc.local that has a start stop and restart with "echo -n" as the output for each I no longer get an error that /etc/rc.d/rc.local is not correct other than that its the same.

Didn't do what it was suppose to I still get this error. It looks like it is still trying to run plymouth-quit-wait even though I disabled it or it ignored "sudo service plymouth-quit-wait disable".

My bad I created my own startup script that was causing this.
I created my own lirc that wasn't doing something it wanted done.
