I installed Trizen and Octopi , much prefer it to Discover , pretty much all that's left to do is import bookmarks in to Firefox and setup Timeshift , piece of cake and peace of mind .

software token: not sure, it got pulled in with openconnect and or plasma-nm
you can right click & hide it if you like
Thanks @rbrick49 I think your post just answered one of my questions as well as @ant. Been trying to track this down as it is annoying and filling up journalctl (dhcpcd[914]: if_route (ADD): File exists). I won't be able to be sure until later this afternoon but I believe it may have something to do with openconnect.
doubt its that or we'd all have it!?
try this:
sudo systemctl mask dhcpcd@enp5s0.service
reboot
check if it disabled it:
sudo systemctl status dhcpcd@enp5s0.service
check if your internet still works and the error has gone.
Thanks again @ant.

I beleive this can be blacklisted:
sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Watchdog hardware is disabled
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=239075
kvm: disabled by bios I think this is Having the ability to use VMs in your OS but its disabled in the bios, enable if you want to use virtualbox, etc
lvm2-monitor.service
you can mask this service if you don't use it, check here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LVM
sudo systemctl mask lvm2-monitor.service
pacman-init.service this can be disabled
sudo systemctl stop pacman-init.service
sudo systemctl disable pacman-init.service
if you disable this ^ service make sure you do this after and check you can still update, download.
sudo pacman-key --init
sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
Any problems after disabling / masking just turn them back on, enable unmask
System should boot a bit quicker now and you have 2 services not being loaded
anything you don't understand let me know...

grub tweaks I use: /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="audit=0 nowatchdog mitigations=off"
audit=0 I get a lot of audit messages in my dmesg, so I turn them off
nowatchdog not really needed for desktop and laptop https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Improving_performance#Watchdogs
mitigations=off https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Improving_performance#Turn_off_CPU_exploit_mitigations <--- read important
again any problems just remove what you did. If you edit your grub file make sure to run this after:
Update Grub: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Reboot!!
Can use regular fonts ??
Its hard to read bold fonts.

Did you change something recently?
nope been the same since install
well apart from updates
OK. I am not sure why there are these issues with dhcpcd. ant stated he doesn't have the issue:
And another post I made which may lend some insight:
I had a similar but different issue with the same service. From what I understand in the above post dhcp should be handled by network manager without this service. Did you try masking it as was suggested to me as the solution? sudo systemctl mask dhcpcd@enp42s0.service

That's correct, dhcpcd gets installed when making the base ISO then, I install networkmanger and enable its service, that's the correct fix, I will look in to it for the next ISO, thanks for reporting

just letting you know when I boot into deep-plasma google chrome is very slow to boot up after first boot it is ok thunderbird was also freezing up but seems to be ok now its all started after updates last night
Hi Ron,
Not much I can do about this, this will probably be a KDE, Chrome or an arch problem, deep-plasma is just a way to get a minimal arch install quickly on your system.
I only have Firefox web browser installed and is working fine
No issues on chromium here
