Dear Michael, dear Maintainers,
Since using kernel 4.17-rc7 I think (now using self compiled 4.17 vanilla
kernel), I see a strange new behavior on this ThinkPad T520. I did not yet
test whether it is related to the kernel or something else I upgraded at
around the same time.
On a fresh boot system sddm login screen does not appear until after more
than a minute. There is just tty1 login prompt. Often as I logged in as
root to see what is up, sddm comes up. But this might just be a
co-incidence. I´d need to test whether it comes up without me doing
anything. Or whether logging in as root on tty1 is a necessary
pre-condition for sddm to come up (unlikely I think).
What I see is this:

I think at some time I also saw NetworkManager-wait-online.service
not coming up properly.

Often I start up DSL modem, Omnia Turris router and laptop at the same time.
Omnia Turris may take a file to provide a working network. But I do not know
whether the issue is network related. I also see this on reboots while Omnia
Turris and DSL modem are already up and running.
I attach journalctl -xb output from the last boot process with the issue.
If you need anything else, please ask. Please allow for some delay in replying,
as I have other more important issues for me to handle at the moment. Also my
motivation to work on debugging it may be a bit limited as I consider to switch
this machine to Devuan with sysvinit or runit like I did with two of my server
VMs already. I am willing to invest some effort in order to provide any
information you request. How much, I will see.
Thanks,
Martin
