as title says , take too much to boot and to charge KDE (and openbox)

some hints to fix it will be appreciated …

It looks a bit strange that man-db.service runs on your system. It doesn’t run here in none of freshly installed, in separate partitions, Antergos 17.4 Mate, Cinnamon, Plasma, Gnome3rd.

Just a shot in a dark. Try to update man db index by hand:

┌──[just]@[alexatp]:~$
└─> mandb
0 man subdirectories contained newer manual pages.
0 manual pages were added.
0 stray cats were added.
0 old database entries were purged.
┌──[just]@[alexatp]:~$
└─>

The mandb should exit almost immediately.

Take a look at this 2yo post - a good reading about man-db.service and updatedb.service.

But everything what takes near to one second and over is extremly to slow… man-db is not running on every boot only when if something is call it to do his job >wiki say:

The research feature is provided by a dedicated cache. By default you may not have any cache built and all your searches will give you the nothing appropriate result. You can generate the cache or update it by running

mandb

You should run it everytime a new manpage is installed.

I am not shure but i think that there is a service doing this now automaticly?

yes:

[[email protected]~]$ systemctl list-units  | grep man-db
man-db.timer                                                                              loaded active waiting   Daily man-db cache update   

sudo /usr/bin/mandb

Then restart and you gain a lot of time in the load.

@starsnstripes but too dmesg would give startup info details that would help to see errors, and lspci + uname -a too

Thx a lot for the reply !

$ uname -a
Linux a 4.10.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 31 16:50:19 CEST 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

ups i mean

less /proc/cpuinfo | grep model

instead of uname -a

From DMESG

Calgary: detecting Calgary via BIOS EBDA area
Calgary: Unable to locate Rio Grande table in EBDA - bailing!
ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it
acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS supports [ExtendedConfig ASPM ClockPM Segments MSI]
acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC failed (AE_ERROR); disabling ASPM

 System wakeup disabled by ACPI

But all not problematic as far as i can see… But maybe someone else?

Graphics: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Driver: i915
Check if you have xf86-video-intel installed
And if KMS is activated:

sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

change the line MODULES="" to
MODULES="i915 "

sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

reboot

• maybe helping is add:

acpi_enforce_resources=lax to kernel parameter inside grub

less /proc/cpuinfo | grep model

$ less /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
model           : 42
model name      : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B820 @ 1.70GHz

The startup of your system is:

$  systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 3.622s (kernel) + 1min 11.728s (userspace) = 1min 15.351s
1min 5.863s man-db.service

Please try to run, as noted above:

sudo /usr/bin/mandb

Then reboot and re-watch and compare boot time:

$ systemd-analyze && systemd-analyze blame

howdy folks !

how to disable or erase Antergos Repo ? without to damage my system ? ?

as always TIA !

We are dealing with another problem, which has nothing to do with repos, please be serious and do not waste your time …

@starsnstripes or if you want take the time, and install archlinux the arch way

All the fuss bout man-db , solved as simple as :

pacman -Rsc man-db

!

Yes but now we can not say you anymore: “read the MF manual!” ;)
Same i do with “tracker” on older mashines… simple uninstalling, if you do not need or do not want to need this!

+1 !!!

For this reason I said this:

sudo /usr/bin/mandb

tracker

# pacman -Rsc tracker
error: target not found: tracker
