Too long boot time

[amogh123789]

Hi,

I have recently set up dual boot of LM 19.1 cinnamon and win 10 by creating separate partitions.
My boot time is a bit long i believe. The grub2 boot menu appears fairly quickly , but after selecting the mint entry, it takes a long time for the login window to appear. Takes even more time to load desktop after typing passsword.

Here is a output of systemd-analyze:

Code: Select all

 Startup finished in 6.884s (kernel) + 29.393s (userspace) = 36.277s
graphical.target reached after 29.380s in userspace 

It is normal for dual boot setups? or can I do something to optimize boot time. Kindly advice.

The sytemd blame and analyze will give a better idea about the delay. Post the outputs of these commands.

You can disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service.
and disable lvm2-monitor.service IF you're not using LVM.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service

Edit: You also have the "every service takes 10 to 20 times longer to start than it should" syndrome which seems to mostly happen with Cinnamon.

E.g.
Yours: 9.645s systemd-journal-flush.service; 1.515s mnt-Data.mount
Mine: 391ms systemd-journal-flush.service; 21ms mnt-DATA.mount

FWIW, I have an 10 year-old, low-end computer.

I'm sorry but I dont quite know much about this services. NetworkManager-wait-online.service : Disabling this will not stop wifi/Lan networking correct?
lvm2-monitor.service IF you're not using LVM: Again I'm not sure what this service does. How to know if I'm using LVM or not?

While installing Mint did you opt for LVM,?
What output do you get with mount command?

Also do not judge your blame results based on first boot, but after a subsequent reboot

I don't remember about LVM while installing right now. Can't be sure

Also even after disabling NetworkManager-wait-online.service it still shows again in blame output on next boot. Seems like it is not getting disabled or restarting automatically. It delays boot by more than 14 secs even now.

Yes, I checked blame output on next reboot. Still NetworkManager-wait-online.service is present even after disabling it on previous boot.

[deepakdeshp]

You don't have lvm, looks like

Some of them come back - in this case it *might* be because you've enabled the apt/update service (though I didn't see it in your boot info), which require the 'net.
Change 'disable' to 'mask';

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl mask NetworkManager-wait-online.service

[amogh123789]

After using mask option, it stopped appearing in the blame. Now can I also disable the lvm service?
