[SOLVED] Very slow boot time

[wormsf]

Hello
I installed linux mint 19 a year ago on 2 PCs at a friend's house (in double boot with windows)
on the 1st PC the linux boot time is good, but on the other it takes almost 5 minutes to boot,
I asked him to place the command sytemd-analyze blame and here is the result

41s systemd-suspend serice
20s mintupdate-automation-upgrade
.....
what can explain this launch time

hey and welcome to the forum and linux mint wormsf. could you also add system information on that other computer here please. Run this command in the terminal and post the outcome of that in your next post.

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxxrzc0

. is secure boot/fastboot disabled from bios?

Hello,
In betting mode, I would bet on disk bad mount. However, we're not here to bet :

If possible can we have the aggregate

Code: Select all

systemd-analyze

to evaluate global time taken by firmware, kernel and userspace

and if the problem lies mainly in userspace

Code: Select all

cat /etc/fstab

to have infos about how the disks are mounted and

Code: Select all

sudo lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,FSUSE%,FSAVAIL

to have a nice presentation of the whole disk system

[wormsf]

thank you aztaroth and mikaelrask for your help. As soon as I can I will go at my friend's home to run the commands

If it's not easy to access your friend's computer, please add UUID to the lsblk command (will be not so nice, but more complete)

Code: Select all

sudo lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,FSUSE%,FSAVAIL,UUID

[wormsf]

Hello

here after a file with the result of
systemd-analyze
cat /etc/fstab
sudo lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,FSUSE%,FSAVAIL
inxi -Fxxrzc0

more information
There are also 2 windows partitions , it's possible to boot under Windows (only to manage books on a e-reader through ADE)

I just repaired The PC : impossible to boot under linux , it stopped in initramfs
I launched fsck ,it resolved the problem

but it's always very slow

It would have been more readable if posting the command outputs directly here between code brackets (icon </>) like this :

systemd-analyze :

Code: Select all

Startup finished in 7.116s (kernel) + 3min 5.532s (userspace) = 3min 12.648s
graphical.target reached after 1min 45.061s in userspace

cat /etc/fstab :

Now, gonna check all this

[Aztaroth]

First anomaly :
swap partition quoted in etc/fstab

Code: Select all

# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=7f084eab-1069-488b-8a5a-018270d10d4c none            swap    sw              0       0

vanished in inxi report :

Code: Select all

Partition: ID-1: / size: 40.59 GiB used: 10.88 GiB (26.8%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda5 
           ID-2: /home size: 400.31 GiB used: 18.11 GiB (4.5%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda3 

By the way, problem is less the firmware you posted in the OP, but the time in the userspace (> 3mn). Solving the swap issue might help. Did your friend voluntary disable swap (in a bad way) or has something happened to sda6 ? The missing lsblk would have told us even in its crude form :

Code: Select all

lsblk

[wormsf]

Thank you aztaroth
sorry for the presentation of result
Effectively there is no result for fsblk
I willl connect to the PC through anydesk

• to run fsblk

• to verify the swap status

• to run again systemd-analyse

regards

François

[wormsf]

sorry for the response time
Ultimately, I completely reformatted the disk and installed the latest version of mint.
Now boot time seems correct to me for computer power
I added a swap partition

thank you again for all your advice
