Just for curiosity I tried LE11, and I have the same issue, although it's a bit quicker the to show the correct date/time on the Kodi main screen: ~12 seconds, compared to over 20 for LE12.
Thanks for your help chewitt, but I think I'm going to re-install LE10 and use that.
Unfortunately, self-building an image is way beyond my knowledge/skills.
I tried systemd-analyse blame, here are the first few lines...
41.351s wait-time-sync.service
30.036s kodi-waitonnetwork.service
3.602s dev-mmcblk0p2.device
3.557s dev-mmcblk0p1.device
3.491s dev-loop0.device
2.916s pulseaudio.service
2.612s systemd-hwdb-update.service
2.000s connman-vpn.service
1.927s iwd.service
1.926s dbus.service
1.397s samba-config.service
1.061s systemd-logind.service
Similar to the one you linked to, except the much slower times.
I tried disabling BT, it made no measurable difference.
You said "unplug the USB Gigabit Ethernet adapter", but there's isn't a USB adapter plugged in. The only USB thing plugged in at the moment is a keyboard.
I should have mentioned, this log is with the 'wait for network' setting off.
Thanks for the reply, but that made the startup time even slower.
If I time it from the moment the LibreELEC logo appears, it takes ~43 seconds for the correct date/time to show.
When I turn "wait for network" on, and set it to 30 seconds, it spends a lot longer on the LibreELEC logo, and then when the Kodi main screen appears it's showing the correct date/time, but it took ~46 seconds to get to that point.
I don't understand why it takes so long compared to running LibreELEC V10 on the same Pi.
BTW, I do use a static reservation, I just switched the Pi to a manual IP4 address when I was investigating this problem.
First post here, hope someone can help.
I've been running V10 on a Rapberry Pi model 3 B+ for a while, and just moved to V12.0.2 via a fresh install on a new microSD card. I connected to my WiFi via the setup wizard on the 1st start, then configured everything as I like it. When V12 starts up, on the main Kodi screen the date/time is wrong, and doesn't get updated to the correct date/time for over 20 seconds. During this time I can't stream anything. If I open Settings > LibreELEC > Connections immediately after startup, there's no IP address on my WiFi entry until after 20 seconds. After the 20 seconds I can stream stuff, and so far I've not had any problems streaming, so it looks like it's just that initial connection that's a problem.
The V10 install works perfectly. as soon as the Kodi main screen appears it's showing the correct date/time, and I can stream immediately.
I switched V12 from using dhcp to using a manual IP4 address, and I have the same problem, although the correct date/time does appear a little quicker, just under 20 seconds.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can anyone point me in the right direction on how to diagnose it.
Thanks.
