I get many message's before the login screen comes. IS there a way to save that message so that I could share it to the community and find some solution to its.

My computer boots fine but after the grub and before the log in screen some unusual message (not seen before) appears, how could i capture that?

Hey there, those messages are probably just start up messages (which is normal), and nothing to worry about.

But, to view recent system messages, type:

dmesg

into a terminal.

Yep, looks normal from here.

It pauses around the above message for like 20 to 30 second at every startup and I really hate that.

Any way to remove this and make the boot up process faster.

Are the error shown in the first few message perfectly normal

Thanks for your time.
