I'm using Fedora 23, the same problem was on Fedora 22. Sudo takes ~20 seconds to start, it doing something for ~20 seconds then asks password.

Reboot solves this problem for a while. After a few hours the problem appear again.

Here is peace of strace output

 0.000090 getuid()                  = 1000

You can see that sendmsg takes too much time.

Can someone help me with this? I don't want to reboot my laptop every time this happen.

  • Please provide full strace output, if necessary, post it to pastebin. – user140866 Jun 2 '16 at 13:12
  • still insufficient; poll call timeouts then recvmsg plays with something that comes from freedesktop code? strace -f -v -s300 -o log sudo ... will give the best info. – user140866 Jun 2 '16 at 13:16
  • Check that your syslog daemon is working correctly; For example, does logger 'Hello world' return within a reasonable amount of time? – malyy Jun 2 '16 at 13:16

    So judging by connect(11, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, sun_path="/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"}, 29) = 0 - you probably got problems with dbus, possibly dbus daemon is not running or malfunction. – user140866 Jun 2 '16 at 13:53

    please add the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf to your question – cas Jun 3 '16 at 0:22

The full strace in your pastebin link shows that sudo is trying to open libnss-sss.so.2: 

open("/lib64/libnss_sss.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 8

That's an NSS module for SSSD - System Security Services Daemon, which manages access to various remote authentication services.

Check that the SSSD is installed and running. If it is, then try following the instructions on that site for debugging sudo issues.

If it isn't then either find out why and fix it or (if you don't want/need sss) just edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and comment out or delete sss from all the services that are configured to use it.

  • Thanks for answering. I already reboot my laptop, I will check it when this happen again and let you know. – c0rp Jun 3 '16 at 8:19
  • I removed all sss but it is still long pause befora asking password. Also I can't restart sssd, it is saying: Job for sssd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status sssd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. – c0rp Jun 3 '16 at 16:37
