      Hello!
      For quite a few days now, the boot process is taking about a minute and 48 secs (I timed now). The majority (about 52 secs) of that time is spent on
      [....] Configuring network interfaces...ifup: waiting for lock on /run/network/ifstate.eth0

      I remember this wasn’t the case after fresh install. So, these are consequences of my actions, sure, but I can’t figure what. Please, let me know what I should do to minimize booting time?

      ####EXTRA INFO
      I am using WICD network manager and not CENI.
      I have LUKS enabled.
      I have XFCE.

      Thank you!

        I solved this once by editing the /etc/network/interfaces to look like this

        #——————————————————————————
        # /etc/network/interfaces
        #
        # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
        # Used by ceni but not by wicd
        #——————————————————————————

        auto lo
        iface lo inet loopback

          My ssd in my chromebook boots up in seconds. Not minutes.

          I have not updated the kernel on this yet as I am beta testing 64 bit AntiX 17.4. I use WICD also full time as my default.

          Without specs shown. Kinda hard to answer your thread. So all I can say. Reinstall wicd and maybe wpa supplicant while hooked up to land line or hook up ceni 1st before reinstalling wicd,wpa_suplicant.

          $ apt search wpa

            That message and behavior sounds like a bug that comes with the Debian version of /etc/init.d/networking. I fixed this in antiX by moving the creation of network connections to the background.

            There is a spare version of the fixed “networking” file at /usr/local/share/live-files/general-files/etc/init.d/networking. If this is different from /etc/init.d/networking then copy the spare over the original after saving a backup of the original to your home directory:

            cp /etc/init.d/networking ~
            sudo cp /usr/local/share/live-files/general-files/etc/init.d/networking /etc/init.d/networking

            If the /etc/init.d/networking file got changed to the buggy version due to a system upgrade then other people may be hitting this same problem. OTOH, I may be wrong about the cause of the problem.

                Try what BitJam suggested.

                Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

                antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

                  Yay! Boot-up is now 28 secs, only (compared to earlier 1:48)! Bitjam’s solution made a difference of 80 sec. Thanks a lot, Bitjam! I’m grateful to you!

                  Note: I had earlier been lazy and ignored Bitjam’s solution since it involved some work (which took less than 30 sec!).

                  Thanks again, Bitjam!
