Re: [SOLVED] Slow desktop load after login

the solution to the problem is to install the "haveged" package (I also wanted to write)
https://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic. … 5#p1173564

This works for me with the old CPU  O:)

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Slow desktop load after login

Hi guys, I was also frustrated with this problem. This seems to have solved it. But I'll be testing more.

sudo apt install haveged

PC specs : Sony Vaio YB series 11" netbook - AMD E-350, Radeon 6310, 4gb Ram, 1 TB SATA (no SSD).

I ran the Bunsen Lab Helium off a live USB stick and it worked flawlessly, the system booted instantly and I was impressed with the performance. My dual monitor setup also worked great.
I decided to install it, but the installer was a headache (manual partitioning), took me 3 tries to wrap my head around the installer and finally got it done. I configured my wifi during the install, Someone had mentioned above that that might be the culprit. But I haven't tested the install without the wifi.

The prob starts from the GRUB bootloader screen:

- Bootloader to login screen is very long ~2-3 mins, I thought the computer has frozen. It just displayed a black screen. Pressed keys on keyboard, and maybe that might've moved it ahead.
- Login to actual desktop : Here also, the computer became unresponsive. Finally everything loaded after 3-5 mins. Very sluggish.
- Firefox launch ,: Just the launch took 1min to load. Youtube and other sites take forever to load. And most sites say "Problem with network" or something similar.

Now these probs were not there during the live USB, it was just fast.
I noticed that the culprit might be the the OS not utilizing full CPU.
On live USB boot, the CPU was at :
Idle - 3%
Firefox launch - 95%
Youtube site launch -80-95%

but after installation on HDD:
Idle CPU avg - 5-10%
Firefox launch - 60%
Any site launch (youtube/ faceboo) - still 40-65%
max usage is 85%

So I think the installed version is not utilizing my CPU efficiently and since its a very weak CPU utilizing, half the power would result in the system being unresponsive.

I am attaching the output

systemd-analyze blame

and maybe the network might also be an issue (but the same network worked flawlessly with the Live USB boot)
