Thanks Don. User 132 was Gnome Display Manager. So I removed gdm3 and made lightdm (user 115) my default display manager. That did not make any difference: └─networking.service @4.138s +3.231s └─local-fs.target @4.137s └─run-user-115.mount

I use shorewall. The shorewall-init.log shows that Shorewall took less than 2 seconds to compile and start up. Why does systemd wait that long on boot? This is on Jessie. Regards Johann -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. (Psalm 63:3)

Since Jessie became stable, there is a flat gray background on the XFCE4 desktop and I cannot change it. My normal configuration is that XFCE4 should use a list of pictures and change the background regularly (something that I don't think the other systems can do). This is not working anymore.

I can run du, but that takes ages, and has a performance impact. df only gives the total for the filesystem, of course. Try ncdu. It also takes some time to finish calculating, but the output is easier to handle and you can drill down to lower directories without losing the other data.
