Apparently the reason my computer has been taking 2 minutes to boot was a faulty network mount
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm pretty sure the main system startup bottleneck is me typing the disk encryption passphrase.

Glad I haven't built a modern chipset PC yet, didn't realize it was this bad.
5 0 ReplyAs another DDR5 user, it’s not always this bad - there’s a bios setting that makes it remember the previous configuration and skips this step, but sometimes it still needs to do it, and then it can take a minute or two

Those where the good days. You always had fresh coffee when your computer was ready for work.

I can relate to this hahaha

6 0 ReplyI wish to replace it with a yubikey, but I don't even know if it's supported.
6 0 ReplyIt is supported by systemd to use FIDO2 + pin to decrypt luks partitions with many security keys, including Yubikeys. I use it every day on my laptop.
14 0 ReplyIt is, I have it set up on my laptop. It's a bit finicky in how it works and it's not easy to setup, but it is possible.
8 0 ReplyDoes it work by emulating the keyboard and typing in the password? Or by the encrypted protocol that works using the on device secret?
3 0 ReplyBoth should be possible. I am using the psuedo 2FA method. First I type the PIN and after that I confirm with YubiKey.

You can't even use a fucking fingerprint scanner while being in the system, that package is borked for months and nobody seem to care to solve it.
I think using Yubikey at boot time is quite out of reach

Fucking true. Does anyone know why this is so slow?
