Did you see this in ClearOS 7? That issue should have been resolved - see 0002270

Do you see text "Starting ClearOS API..." for a few seconds before the console starts on boot? There's a wait loop that tests for a successful web connection to port 82 before it continues to launch the consoles. See https://github.com/clearos/clearos-console/blob/master/bash_profile [^]

The wait time was extended from 20 to 60 seconds, and an extra few seconds are added before starting tconsole/gconsole (actually a side effect of localization).
