Even considering that you need to input the LUKS password, 40 seconds |
| 34 |
is too much. You can use systemd-analyze and systemd-analyze blame |
| 35 |
after a fresh boot to see what is taking most of the boot time. |

Don't forget journalctl -b -p err and journalctl -b -p warning. Hugh |
| 44 |
time savings. |

I didn't realized it was gone. However, I don't think is a feature of |
| 56 |
OpenRC, it's just that OpenRC calls agetty differently from systemd, I |
| 57 |
suppose. |

Sure it is. Perhaps is just garbled? Try to log in and do a reset. |

You can set up the network without networkmanager just fine. |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
If you want to use DHCP: |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
dhcpcd@.service |
| 71 |
---------------------------------------------------- |
| 72 |
[Unit] |
| 73 |
Description=DHCP on %I |
| 74 |
After=basic.target |
| 75 |
Documentation=man:dhcpcd(8) |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
[Service] |
| 78 |
ExecStartPre=/bin/ifconfig %I up |
| 79 |
ExecStart=/sbin/dhcpcd -B %I |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
[Install] |
| 82 |
WantedBy=multi-user.target |
| 83 |
---------------------------------------------------- |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
If you want to use static network: |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
---------------------------------------------------- |
| 88 |
[Unit] |
| 89 |
Description=Static network service |
| 90 |
After=local-fs.target |
| 91 |
Documentation=man:ifconfig(8) |
| 92 |
Documentation=man:route(8) |
| 93 |
|
| 94 |
[Service] |
| 95 |
Type=oneshot |
| 96 |
RemainAfterExit=yes |
| 97 |
ExecStart=/bin/ifconfig <interface> <ip> broadcast <broadcast> netmask |
| 98 |
<netmask> up |
| 99 |
ExecStart=/bin/route add default gw <gateway> <interface> |
| 100 |
---------------------------------------------------- |
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
(You can use the new ip command, but ifconfig is still the one |
| 103 |
installed by default in Gentoo). |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
Or if you need something more complicated, you can put it in several |
| 106 |
ExecStart lines, or put it in a script and call that. |
| 107 |
