[SOLVED] Linux Mint 19 very slow boot times of ten minutes or so.

[trytip]

you need to show inxi -F at least

[gort2000]

First post so hope it's ok with you guys.

I have just installed LM19 Cinnamon on two laptops both about 10 years old and experienced the very slow boot times. In order to speed up the boot times I installed xenial kernel 4.4 by adding "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main" to the Software Sources Additional Repository. Unfortunately the laptops kept trying to boot to kernel 4.15 because I had enabled the auto update option mainly because the laptop was for a non techie person. I therefore installed Grub Customizer to make 4.4 the default kernel. This brought the boot times back to normal on the old laptops.

One other issue with this setup. When one of the laptops was booting into the 4.4 kernel the wifi would not automatically switch on. This was sorted by adding custom command "nmcli r wifi on" to the Startup Applications.

I can't be sure this is a good idea for many users. For now I would advise to install without updates and then update everything but the kernel. I haven't experienced any slow boot times because of 4.15.0-24 on my Ubuntu or Linux Mint laptops but there are far too many posts to ignore here or on ubuntuforums.org

[bhoth]

I have a pretty current desktop with an 8 core AMD processor and 16 GB of RAM, SSD drives and experienced this exact issue. Back revved to 4.15.0-23 and the boot is back to normal.

Stay away from 4.15.0-24!

[catweazel]

Code: Select all

System: Host: woods-laptop Kernel: 4.15.0-24-generic x86_64

That's the cause. See this: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... a661f01144

Avoid that kernel and wait for a later update.

[externa1]

Do you have an older kernel that works? If so boot into it and use update manager/view/linux kernels to uninstall 4.15.0-24
then download and install
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp ... g4_all.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp ... _amd64.deb

This has a proposed fix to the issue, if the default download location is home/Downloads try in terminal

Code: Select all

cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb

Then try the proposed fix by rebooting

That worked for me thx

Nice catch. You must've trawled the mail archive looking for that.

Another workaround https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... st13781140

[raywoods]

Okay. On mains power and did the instructions from JeremyB
1. Switch to earlier Kernel on reboot
2. Removed Linux Kernel 4.15.0-24
3. Saved to /Downloads to following deb files

Then ran
cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb
from the Terminal
Rebooted and still no joy (over six minutes from POST to GUI on my stop watch)

At least Linux Mint 19 is working well on my Desktop (and being more economical with the system memory too! (About 500MB on start up). I just wish this lump in my lap would speed up its boot, it is fine once into the GUI.

[gm10]

Rebooted and still no joy (over six minutes from POST to GUI on my stop watch)

Considering the startup time measured by systemd-analyze was 45-52s until graphical.target and about 2 minutes for the full thing, you see to be losing a lot of time before the kernel even starts. So the problem would be with GRUB2. Maybe someone can walk you through it, I don't have time right now (you could try a sudo grub-install; sudo update-grub first).

[raywoods]

I've had a look at my grub file...
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Other observations
On closing down I did notice some error messages flashing up and I took a photograph of it. (This was from another Kernel though. The original with Mint 19.)
The messages have a common theme...
[drm:drm_atomic_helper_wait_for_depedencies [drm_kms_helper]] *ERROR*......
May this have something to do with this problem?
Ray

[gm10]

Ok, here's one problem:

You said you

2. Removed Linux Kernel 4.15.0-24

but apparently you did not or you installed it again:

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-24-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-24-generic

So you'll need to boot into the -20 kernel again (press shift during boot, select advanced, and boot the 4.15-0.20 kernel), then once booted open Update Manager > View > Linux kernels > click on 4.15.0-24 and then on remove. Run Update Manager and install all updates including the -23 kernel.

Your error message means there's a problem with your graphics driver, but let's handle the kernel first. Post us the output from inxi -Fxz once you're done (put code tags around it for readabiltiy please, 5th button above the text input pane). The output of blkid and of cat /etc/fstab would also be helpful.

[ssspace]

I saw another user complaining about very slow boots, 10 minutes:

https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapd-serv ... -0-24/6205

Some bug with the kernel.

[agkozak]

When I was running Linux Mint 18.3, I saw boot times of only a handful of seconds. Version 19 brought me up to 40-120 seconds. I've been working on getting back to my boot time for Linux Mint 18.3 and I've finally succeeded (I'm on my third fresh installation in one day).

Something is very wrong in Linux Mint 19 with how the encrypted home folder and encrypted swap file are set up. I found that the problem went away if I didn't opt to encrypt my home folder during installation. I then used the instructions in https://www.howtogeek.com/116032/how-to ... ng-ubuntu/ to encrypt my $HOME folder and set up an encrypted swap file. The swap file was a little harder to get working than the guide suggested.

Finally, I blacklisted the linux-4.15.0-24.26 kernel.

[raywoods]

Hi gm10
Sorry about the confusion over that kernel, looking at those deb packages, they installed the 24 kernel again! Anyway, now running on 4.15.0-23 and 4.15.0-24 is blacklisted.

Ubuntu 18.04 Linux Kernel Update Causes Boot Delays Of 4 Minutes Or More On Some Systems
https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/07/u ... auses.html
Odd issues like this is why I disabled level 4 updates for Mint 19 on mission critical machines, and also why it is a bad idea to update anything right before you know you will need your machine in working order.

I'm not sure if those slow boot times are really only kernel's fault.

SOLUTION FOUND:
Removing the "quiet" parameter from "/etc/default/grub" configuration brought back 10s boot time

[fireman999]

Hi All,

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T430 with an i5 processor, 8 Gb Ram and a SSD. It's an old machine, but half decent. A few days ago I installed Mint XFCE and the boot up times were terrible. Yesterday I installed Mint Cinnamon, and the start up time was several minutes. I almost gave up on Mint. This morning I reinstalled Mint Cinnamon without the kernel updates and it's working fine! The kernel that I am using is the 4.15.0-20
I hope the issues with the latest kernel (4.15.0-24) is sorted out soon.

[octathlon]

Here is another older laptop with the same problem if anyone wants to compare the specs. I installed Mint 19 (XFCE) and got the slow boot times on the initial install. Then I did updates including kernel to -24 and still have the same problem.

Hello,

I upgraded to Linux Mint MATE 19 on my Intel NUC with a i915 chipset. It works well with kernel 4.15.0.20, 22, 23 but takes about 5 minutes to start with 24. I simply blacklisted kernel 4.15.0.24.
Very annoying for people who use default settings in LM MATE 19, with automatic kernel updates !!! They all use Timeshift for the first time.
