Fail message when booting and slow boot

[Johny5]

I get a message when booting linux:

Code: Select all

[1.568477] nouveau 000:02:00.0: disp: conn 02:0261: func 52 lookup failed, -2

If I get it well the error code is in connection with my display, but I can't find anything how to solve it.

Also, my boot time is too slow, it can be because of the fail.

This is the boot, maybe I can disable somehing, or you can help what takes this long:

Hi @Johny5 , welcome to the Linux Mint forums !

Please post the outputs of these commands between [code][/code] tags:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/fstab

BTW it may be better to put that error message between [code][/code] tags (that :0261: now points to some non-existent emoji), like

The situation might improve if you switch to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers (you can do that from the Linux Mint Driver Manager).

The situation might improve if you switch to the proprietary NVIDIA drivers (you can do that from the Linux Mint Driver Manager).

Thanks, it worked, now I didn't get the fail message.

BTW I didn't get why you tried to get me back here.

Just for whatever help you can give the OP.

OK, so slow boot is the only problem we have now.
How slow is your boot? How long until you get to the desktop?

[Johny5]

The boot takes around 3-5 minutes.

That is an obscene amount of time. What I want to know is how is that possible since my critical chain looks almost identical to yours:

Code: Select all

$ systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

and my system boots in 35 seconds or so.

Oh, wait. I was comparing it to my own

It appears your network is the problem. Got any ideas about that? I don't.
