I don’t know if this thread is still going but I am having the same problem with a slow boot to Ubuntu Studio. It takes my machine almost four minutes to boot. I made a video of the entire boot, however I don’t know if I can load it to this thread?
I did run systemd-analyze in the the terminal and the results are in the attached pictures.
I am a newbie so PLEASE help!!
That information is much easier to parse if you just copy and paste the content here. If you have the xclip package installed, you can just add | xclip -selection clipboard to the end of your command. Then paste like normal.
I don’t have xclip. Ive been trying to load the video, but apparently this forum doesn’t allow Mp4 videos to be uploaded. I’ve trying to find out which video type IS allowed?
then I can change the video type and then load it to this thread…
Maybe just install xclip and do what I said? Or just copy and paste. Videos aren’t really helpful in communicating information that is text based, regardless of their format.
My system is a bit older. I use Kubuntu which is somewhat lighter weight. I had to run systemd-analyze and blame multiple times and research each entry. Best to make one change at a time to make sure system still is ok. Found SSD makes huge difference. If you can upgrade to SSD best to do that also.
Made sure UEFI firmware & SSD firmware at latest versions
Compare to vendors support site
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
udisksctl status
Now my system show this. It actually now takes about 25 sec for full shutdown & reboot. Not sure where the 44 min is coming from, have not seen that before.
fred@z170-noble:~$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 44min 46.692s (firmware) + 5.383s (loader) + 4.112s (kernel) + 4.001s (userspace) = 45min 190ms
graphical.target reached after 3.987s in userspace.
/etc/default/grub changed from quiet splash to noplymouth, will see boot process rather than Ubuntu logo,
sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
remove snaps (many here prefer snaps)
If UEFI firmware update not supported (yet)
sudo apt-get purge fwupd
My system does not have Thunderbolt
systemctl mask bolt.service
disable unused devices:
journalctl -b | grep udisks
Check all UUIDs are correct in fstab. Often happens with another install that reformats swap or incorrect/typo entry. I now prefer labels.
If old BIOS only system with core2 Duo, there has been a kernel bug.

I ran it again and here this paste via xclip:
Doing systemd-analyze
startup finished in 5.957s (firmware) + 6.155s (loader) + 26.296s (kernel) + 2min 41.968s (userspace) = 3min 20.378s
graphical.target reached after 2min 41.949s in userspace.
For what it’s worth, what you did in that screenshot was systemd-analyze critical-chain and systemd-analyze blame not systemd-analyze time (which is what runs if you just run systemd-analyze).
Surround your postings in code blocks, either with the preformatted text button (
) or by using code blocks (three backticks on separate lines before and after the paste).
Here is this information for systemd-analyze time

I have an 1 tb ssd and a 1tb old hd disk on this laptop. I think?? I put this operating system on the ssd? How can I confirm this?
You need to compare UEFI firmware with vendor’s site. And compare SSD firmware with SanDisk’s site. They should have support page for your model and show firmware versions.
Post these:

You are running Windows from SSD & Linux from HDD.
I thought plocate was not supposed to run at startup. Was this from a reboot?
Ubuntu would be a lot faster if / (root) was on SSD and data that is used less often for both Ubuntu & Windows was on HDD.
I agree. But it helps to know what host “machine” you are using.
I run Windows (when needed) in my Dell Inspiron, then for Ubuntu 22.04 my SSD is external in powered docking bay, but through USB 3.0 port. I use rEFInd as grub manager.
