Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS VERY, VERY slow boot












2















I have numerous hard drives that I boot from. I have drives for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 as well as various versions of Ubuntu. Also other distros of Linux such as Kubuntu and Debian.



I have downloaded and installed Ubuntu 18.04.01 and found it painfully slow. I have tested numerous configurations to get the following numbers.



All tests have been run on the very same computer, except for swapping the drive. I have been using three identical SSDs, all purchased at the same time. I began by wiping two SSDs using Darik's Boot and Nuke (writing zeroes). Then I installed a copy of 16.04 on one and 18.04.1 on the other. The third SSD began with a fresh install of Windows 7 and then added 16.04 to it.



I also ran additional tests booting live copies of 16.04 and 18.04.1 from thumb drives (USB 2).



WiFi turned off, Ethernet cable connected.



Here are my times to boot and shutdown.



Boot times are measured from when I pushed the power button.



Windows 7: 20 seconds to boot the the desktop.



Ubuntu 16.04 from SSD: 23 seconds to boot. 3 seconds to shut down.



Ubuntu 16.04 live from thumb drive: 55 + 23 seconds. (The first time is from power on to the screen prompting if I want to try or install Ubuntu. The second is from clicking "Try Ubuntu" to the desktop.) 5 seconds to shutdown.



Ubuntu 18.04.1 from SSD: 4 minutes 40 seconds to boot. 1 minute 5 seconds to shut down.



Ubuntu 18.04.1 live from thumb drive: 6 minutes 12 seconds + 2 minutes 25 seconds. 35 seconds to shutdown.



As you can see, the performance of 18.04 is unacceptable. I did a presentation last night to some Windows users of setting up their systems to dual boot so they could try Ubuntu, but I found that I had to demonstrate the older version. None of them would have cared to ever try anything with the performance of this new version.

If eye candy like plymouth is not that important for you, which consumes ~31 seconds of your boot time, you can disable it.



First, in the file /etc/default/grub, change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="".



Then, update grub



sudo update-grub


If that's not enough, then do



sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth.conf /etc/init/plymouth.conf.disabled


As for NetworkManager-wait-online.service, edit the file /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-wait-online.service as root user, then look for the following lines:



[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q --timeout=30


Change the timeout to lower value, though some might suggest down until 10 will do, in my system, I have down to 1, and it's running fine.



In my system, I also removed snapd, and my boot time is now only around 18-19 seconds.

    If eye candy like plymouth is not that important for you, which consumes ~31 seconds of your boot time, you can disable it.



    First, in the file /etc/default/grub, change the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="".



    Then, update grub



    sudo update-grub


    If that's not enough, then do



    sudo mv /etc/init/plymouth.conf /etc/init/plymouth.conf.disabled


    As for NetworkManager-wait-online.service, edit the file /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-wait-online.service as root user, then look for the following lines:



    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/nm-online -s -q --timeout=30


    Change the timeout to lower value, though some might suggest down until 10 will do, in my system, I have down to 1, and it's running fine.



    In my system, I also removed snapd, and my boot time is now only around 18-19 seconds.
