[SOLVED] Ubuntu 20.04 Slow boot

[tuxxtuta]

Hey there,

I had upgraded (clean install ) from 19.04 to 20.04 the last week and i have since then very slow times at boot (almost 2 minutes)

I was seeing the check disks at the loading screen first and i disabled it like this

fsck.mode=skip grub.cfg just before quiet splash

I don't know if you need something from my hardware specs, the pc is 1 years old , Ryzen 5 3400G , no problems at all with the 19.04 distro

So here is the output of systemd-analyze

systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 15.415s (firmware) + 4.265s (loader) + 3.541s (kernel) + 1min 39.750s (userspace) = 2min 2.973s 
graphical.target reached after 1min 39.734s in userspace

and here the critical-chain

                                └─-.slice @214ms

Any thoughts where to search next ?

Many thanks in advance

Wide variety of issues.

HDD or SSD?
Is UEFI firmware & if SSD, the SSD firmware up to date?

Do all UUIDs in fstab match actuall partitions you have, often a reformatted swap changes and causes issues. Compare UUIDs, may sure all are valid.
cat /etc/fstab
lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE,MODEL, uuid | egrep -v "^loop"

Are you using snaps. Many are now installed by default, instead of .deb. But snaps are slower.
Since these posts they have improved snaps, but still not as fast. I uninstall all snaps and install only .deb versions using snaptic or command line.

Changes I make:
turned off NetworkManager-wait with systemctl
changed from quiet splash to noplymouth, will see boot process rather than Ubuntu logo
sudo apt install libblockdev-crypto2 libblockdev-mdraid2
turned off printer when rebooting
removed snaps

Devices using LVFS for firmware updates

If UEFI firmware update not supported (yet):
sudo apt-get purge fwupd
