• Bug#1067611: privoxy takes more than 2 mins to start.

    From Eric Valette@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 24 17:20:01 2024
    Package: privoxy
    Version: 3.0.34-3+b2
    Severity: important

    Usually the first thing I do after booting is starting firefox. Here I have to start until
    privoxy starts which takes aroun two mins.

    I purged the package, reinstalled. No change.

    I didn't notice a problem with privoxy startup time, so let's try to
    track down what's the root cause of your problem is.

    privoxy waits for network-online.target before it starts.
    Maybe you could check, whether network-online or privoxy is delaying
    here.

    What do you see in the output of
    systemctl status network-online.target privoxy.service
    On my system provoxy starts a the moment when network-online is active
    and takes 1 second to start.
    Can you see, when network-online is active on your system? Is it just
    after booting or does it also take these two minutes?

    If the former, this isn't a privoxy issue, since privoxy has to wait
    for a working network, otherwise it isn't able to bind the interfaces
    (this was a problem in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/privoxy/+bug/1870101).

    If it's a problem in privoxy, that it is really starting up delayed,
    what do you see
    journalctl -u privoxy
    or in /varl/log/privoxy/logfile?
    Maybe you should (temporarily) increase debug level in
    /etc/provoxy/config (maybe debug 4096 could be helpful, maybe others,
    too).

    Does your problem only happen on system startup or can you reproduce
    it via
    systemctl stop privoxy; systemctl start privoxy

    Greetings
    Roland
