    Laptop take a long time to boot

    hello i just installed Ubuntu on my laptop after trying a lot of other Linux distro's and other stuff so i have some experience

    but this is the first time that this has happens.

    What happens is when the computer starts i select the drive to boot and then it just hangs for 3 min and then boots in seconds and during the hanging its just a black screen and nothings seems to happen.

    Startup finished in 14.635s (firmware) + 2min 54.534s (loader) + 2.336s (kernel) + 6.536s (userspace) = 3min 18.043s
    graphical.target reached after 6.502s in userspace.

    the laptop uses a ssd and is pretty fast.

    my guess is that is has to do with grub but i can't figure it out.

    so if you have advise or know a way to help i would thank you very much.

    Re: Laptop take a long time to boot

    What brand/model system?
    What video card/chip?
    Do you have latest firmware for UEFI & SSD?
    Compare to vendors support site
    sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
    udisksctl status

    Is install UEFI & system set to default boot in UEFI mode?

    Do you get grub menu? And have tried recovery mode?

    Please copy & paste the pastebin link to the BootInfo summary report ( do not post report), do not run the auto fix till reviewed. Use often updated ppa version with your USB installer or any working install over somewhat older ISO.

    Re: Laptop take a long time to boot

    hi thank you for replying

    i noticed because my system is in dutch that some stuff is also in dutch in those paste bins is that oke?

    https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nktdSHB7pR/

    And yes this is a EUFI System and i do get the grub menu but i just hangs over selecting the "ubuntu" option for 3 minutes or so than something fails but it goes to fast to see what fails.

    And i tried recovery mode but it didn't seem to do anything. it just had the same behavoir.

    and what do you mean with this "Please copy & paste the pastebin link to the BootInfo summary report ( do not post report), do not run the auto fix till reviewed. Use often updated ppa version with your USB installer or any working install over somewhat older ISO."?

    should or shoudn't i post those links?

    thank you

    Please post pastebin link, but not the report. Its easier to read in another tab than have to scroll up & down in a thread.

    Have you updated Firmware to latest available?
    Note sure if F.06 is current for your model.

    Some other settings to review.

    Are you dual booting with Windows.
    HP likes to default boot a Windows entry and you have to go into UEFI settings to set Ubuntu as first boot option.
    Not sure if then, it still looks for Windows, if you do not have it & then has to time out?

    Re: Laptop take a long time to boot

    hi thank you

    https://support.hp.com/nl-nl/drivers...75?sku=83R83EA

    it seems to be the exact model number and the firmware is the latest.

    i also just used the ssd on my pc and it also seems to just hang and shows nothing

    i do have windows on both pc's but on the desktop i booted as number 1 in the list.

    and the linux and windows parts are on different drives.

    and here is both of the pastebin's

    https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XvVtvJW2HQ/

    https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3mqGXF7Mzk/

    they look the same but they are by the programs you said.

    but i think something is timing out but i don't know what is

    when it start to boot the message i get is:

    "EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path"
    "EFI stub: Measured initrd data into PCR 9"

    and then it just blasts stuff into the screen but it looks fine and i don't spot any error's

    thank you

    Line 72 - OS#1 (linux): Het nu gebruikte besturingssysteem - Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS on sda2

    Ubuntu 24.04 is located on an external USB
    Perhaps your firmware is not set up to boot external devices quickly?

    Try this:-
    Isolate, de-activate or physically remove your internal nvme disk
    Boot to the USB
    Any improvement?

    To avoid seeing this scrolling text, you need to edit grub as below
    Code:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
    Are you familiar with editing /etc/default/grub?

    Re: Laptop take a long time to boot

    I do not see this file in your sda1.
    /efi/Boot/bootx64.efi
    In Windows it is normally a copy of Windows boot file bootmgfw.efi.
    But in Ubuntu it is a copy of shimx64.efi.
    Bootx64.efi is a deault or fallback drive type boot entry, similar to how you boot USB flash drive.
    If you unplug an external drive UEFI may change UEFI entry and it will not work, but then you boot the drive entry.

    Try copying /efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi to /efi/Boot/bootx64.efi. If it really is there then should be ok, leave existing files in /efi/Boot.

    Re: Laptop take a long time to boot

    oke so tried what you advised but it doesn't seem to help

    i do want to say that i have tried different linux distro' s on the same drive and those did seem to work

    should i just try a reinstall?

    i am willing to use unstable versions of ubuntu if that is needed.
