I have a sid box which I don't reboot often, and it currently suffers from the same symptoms.
I'm not sure it's the same bug, but here are my observations. Without plymouth: Startup finished in 5.468s (kernel) + 4.736s (userspace) = 10.204s graphical.target reached after 4.726s in userspace With plymouth, non-graphical theme (details): Startup finished in 5.698s (kernel) + 8.751s (userspace) = 14.450s graphical.target reached after 8.740s in userspace With plymouth, graphical theme (softwaves): Startup finished in 2min 52.748s (kernel) + 8.743s (userspace) = 3min 1.492s graphical.target reached after 8.733s in userspace Funny thing is, with the last test, plymouth doesn't even display a splash screen, only the console with a blinking cursor on top left corner. Also with the last test, the shutdown is slowed down too, with the message: A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 127 On this machine, UID 127 matches Debian-gdm. As a side note, this machine used to have SysV as init system but I recently (2018-04-11) switched it so systemd. I'm not sure that's related (I don't remember if the bug hit me after the change or not), but I specify it for the sake of completeness. Hope it helps. Regards, -- Raphaël Halimi
