Mint 20.2 Cinnamon, Grub Customizer

Post by danost »

I see many posts re Grub Customizer, but can't find a solution to slow boot up after ATTEMPTED install of Grub Customizer
The install of the Grub Customizer default install location was in EFI System Partition, with no option to change that, so exited the setup.
Since then boot up time increased to 1 minute and 40 seconds, was maybe half that previously.
Need to restore smaller boot up time.

Please help
Thanks

The latest recommendation is to not use Grub Customizer.
Please post the results of these 3 commands in the terminal:

Code: Select all

systemd-analyze
systemd-analyze critical-chain
systemd-analyze blame
And then this one too unless you are of the opinion that this is "giving away the farm":

Re: Mint 20.2 Cinnamon, Grub Customizer

Post by mikeflan »

The install of the Grub Customizer default install location was in EFI System Partition, with no option to change that, so exited the setup.
So did Grub Customizer install? Start up Synaptic Package Manger, click on Installed on left, and do a search for 'custom'.
If so, mark it for full removal and purge if possible.

Or better yet, Timeshift back to before you tried to install it.

Code: Select all

systemd-analyze
Yep, your is slow. Mine is more than twice as fast, and mine is not overly fast compared to others on this forum. This is mine:

Code: Select all

$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 4.416s (kernel) + 9.196s (userspace) = 13.612s
graphical.target reached after 9.193s in userspace
systemd-analyze critical-chain
Mine starts like this:

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.

graphical.target @9.193s
└─multi-user.target @9.193s
  └─postfix.service @9.191s +1ms
    └─postfix@-.service @8.862s +328ms
      └─network-online.target @8.862s
So again, much faster than yours.
systemd-analyze blame
This is only part of mine:

Code: Select all

$ systemd-analyze blame
   10min 28.443s fstrim.service
         18.980s apt-daily.service
          7.993s NetworkManager-wait-online.service
          2.521s postgresql@10-main.service
          2.120s apt-daily-upgrade.service
           899ms snapd.service
It would appear yours might be better than mine in this case??

Sorry - I am waiting on better ideas from others if Timeshift does not work for you.

I tried both Synaptic and your codes in Terminal. Grub Customizer is NOT installed.
As I said above, I stopped the install process when the default was set to install in EFI, yet it does seem that some part of Customizer did get installed anyway.
As I watch the boot up process, certain parts of it seem to be repeating = takes more time to complete the boot.

I do not have a TimeShift going back that far.

I've checked and found that I have a time shift, it goes back to the last day I used Mint Cinnamon 20.1
If you can tell me that its safe to roll back to 20.1 and start again to update from there, then perhaps thats what I should do?

I sure wish someone smarter than me would step in here.
Yes, it is safe to Timeshift back to 20.1, even though I have never done it :)
I believe you can Timeshift forward again to 20.2 if you have a need to.
Timeshift really does take care of these things usually, but not always.

It's a while since I had to do a timeshift restore, check the options it offers to make sure it re-installs grub.

The easiest way to have a look inside your EFI partition is mount it with disks and then you can browse inside it with your file manager. Don't expect you will see anything of use with whatever grub customizer has done.

Time shift did get me up and running again, and as you said, looking inside the EFI partition was useless.
The problem remains of slow boot, so likely I'll have to reinstall Mint 20.2, unless someone has another option
Many thanks
