I can push the power on button on my laptop, go and make coffee and come back and wait a few minutes before I can work.
The following services each takes longer than 10 seconds to activate: systemd-analyze blame 1min 21.617s apt-daily.service 1min 2.473s systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service 1min 926ms console-setup.service 47.192s postgresql@10-main.service 38.873s exim4.service 29.176s shorewall.service 23.365s wicd.service 22.402s mariadb.service 18.925s nmbd.service 13.917s udisks2.service 13.177s ModemManager.service 11.865s libvirtd.service I can disable apt-daily.service but I do not think the system will work properly if I disable the second. The third one (console-setup) seems to have a bug: systemd[1]: Failed to start Set console font and keymap. It is looking for a file (symbols/us-intl) that does not exist Aug 14 08:02:55 sitasie console-setup.sh[769]: setupcon: The keyboard model is unknown, assuming 'pc105'. Keyboard may be configured incorrectly. Aug 14 08:03:55 sitasie console-setup.sh[769]: /usr/bin/ckbcomp: Can not find file "symbols/us-intl" in any known directory This is the joy that I get since systemd became the standard.
