enter image description hereenter image description hereI'm using Asus FX503 laptop Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz × 8 8GB Ram, 4gb Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 graphics card, I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on my laptop(not as dual boot), I'ts taking nearly 30 seconds to boot after a fresh install, while it took only 15 seconds to boot, when I was using Windows 10. I know, 30 seconds is not bad, but I was hoping that the boot time would be faster in Ubuntu. Is there anything, that I can do to decrease the boot time in Ubuntu?

These are the systemd outputs:

user@user-FX503VD:~$ systemd-analyze

Startup finished in 3.473s (kernel) + 23.594s (userspace) = 27.067s graphical.target reached after 23.587s in userspace

  • Welcome to AskUbuntu! It's unclear (at least to me) whether we are comparing apples to oranges. Did you arrive at your Windows start times with Fast Startup enabled (effectively just waking up from hibernation)? Thank you for helping us help you! – Elder Geek Mar 25 '19 at 15:54
  • No @Elder Geek, it was not in hibernation. Windows boot time was faster in the beginning. (although it did became slow later, that's one of the reasons, I switched to Ubuntu). – chqdrian Mar 25 '19 at 16:18
  • Have you checked SMART status on your /dev/sda drive to rule out impending drive failure as a cause? – Elder Geek Mar 25 '19 at 19:07
  • I've added the screenshots of the SMART assessment, and the current "systemd-analyze" output – chqdrian Mar 27 '19 at 17:03
  • Just a thought. Replacing the hard drive in your laptop with a Solid State drive would decrease your 14.555s dev-sda2.device time. – Elder Geek Mar 29 '19 at 17:38
