Description of problem: After upgrading to Fedora 19 from Fedora 18 using Fedup, additional things have started coming up during boot time which has increased the boot time to over 40 seconds. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-204-9.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. 3. Actual results: Things come up at boot time. (1 of 4) A start job is running for firewalld - dynamic firewall daemon (2 of 4) A start job is running for Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit (3 of 4) A start job is running for LSB: Automatically install DKMS modules for new kernels (4 of 4) A start job is running for Accounts Service Failed to start Wait for Plymouth Boot Screen to Quit. See 'systemctl status plymouth-quit-wait.service' for details Expected results: Boot shoudl be continuous. Additional info: After all these, I am able to login but these are causing a lot of wait at boot.
Most likely this one "Automatically install DKMS modules for new kernels " is causing that delay but in any case please file reports against each service that's causing the delay not systemd. You can find out which ones those are by opening a terminal window and run "systemd-analyze blame" and the respectful maintainers that own those components will look at it.
I found that on renaming /var/log/journal to /var/log/journal.org, I found no such problem and my boot time is like before.
