Jan 21, 2018 at 22:26 comment added Radu So, I found out that the camera app has a 5 seconds delay, just because. I used --timeout 1 and it reduced the boot time to 15.389s :)
Jan 21, 2018 at 21:09 comment added Radu Yes, thanks for trying thought. I will see what other services I can remove. Even if I don't speed up time, I will save a bit of battery by keeping the CPU/file system less busy.
Jan 21, 2018 at 21:02 comment added Aurora0001 In that case, it doesn't sound like you'll be able to use Bootchart on your system if the packages aren't working. That's a bit of a shame, but I suppose you'll probably be able to manage without it and try other optimisations.
Jan 21, 2018 at 20:59 comment added Radu I have Jessie, not Stretch. I am getting a E: Unable to locate package systemd-bootchart :/
Jan 21, 2018 at 20:36 comment added Aurora0001 Oh, it turns out bootchart is now called systemd-bootchart in Stretch and is integrated more closely with systemd. I've edited, @Radu, with the appropriate steps.

Jan 21, 2018 at 19:05 comment added Radu Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Setting up bootchart2 (0.14.4-3) ... update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults update-rc.d: warning: stop runlevel arguments (6 0) do not match bootchart-done Default-Stop values (none). When I start pybootchartgui -i I get a: warning: path '/var/log/bootchart.tgz' does not exist, ignoring. Parse error: empty state: '/var/log/bootchart.tgz' does not contain a valid bootchart
Jan 21, 2018 at 18:08 comment added Aurora0001 I think a PNG is produced too; it should be noted in the documentation where it saves in Raspbian.
Jan 21, 2018 at 18:07 comment added Radu The only cpu expensive thing my disableusb.service does it raspistill -o /home/pi/test_boot.jpg. This is just a test, I might modify the parameters a bit more and save some time, but in the future I also want to enable raw output which will mean another ~10 MB or so for each pic, which will probably take an extra second to write. I will try the bootchart thing, I hope it doesn't require a monitor :)
