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.
-
Combine that with the 20-30 seconds my system takes to do bios memory training on the DDR5 ram and we’re practically back to the “go make some coffee while the system boots up” days 🤦
-
we need open source firmware
-
If only Coreboot supported more devices…

-
Glad I haven't built a modern chipset PC yet, didn't realize it was this bad.
-
As 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
-
I wish to replace it with a yubikey, but I don't even know if it's supported.
-
It 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.
-
It 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.
-
Does it work by emulating the keyboard and typing in the password? Or by the encrypted protocol that works using the on device secret?
-
Both 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

-
My system bottleneck is the damn Bios Post
-
Fucking true. Does anyone know why this is so slow?
