My fedora 27 laptop used to login very quickly. Now it gets to a blank screen and pauses there for 1-2 minutes. I don't think the pause is due to anything in my start up scripts ~/.profile and ~/.kshrc. I checked this in two ways. First was commenting out large blocks of the executable code in the scripts and then rebooting. Eventually all the code was commented out and still the pause on login. The second way was by adding "got here" lines like: echo "got to $((n++)) $SECONDS $LINENO" >&2 The $SECONDS showed no long pauses. So I conclude the pause is in system code setting up my login session. The bootchart command does a nice job of reporting every program that runs during boot, including the processes start and end times. Know any bootchart equivalent for login sessions? Jon -- Jon H.
